Dean goes to the zoo!
Posted on August 27, 2011
Happy Saturday! We were at the house all day because Hurricane Irene was coming towards NC and we weren’t sure what was going to happen. Even though we are 2 hours from the coast…it’s better to be safe than sorry! We had some strong winds and rain but that’s about it. Needless to say I had time to edit these photos from Dean’s first trip to the zoo last Wednesday. We went with his gal friend, Tully, and her mom…we had such a nice visit and we can’t wait to go again!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Samantha
Sidenote to NC clients: If you or anyone you know needs photos before we move to Arizona, please call/email to let know! We are out of here mid-September and I already have a handful of sessions planned. However, I want to make sure to accommodate everyone as I won’t be coming back to NC. Thanks!
amazing.

Hi and happy Tuesday!
Pregnancy and birth is nothing short of amazing! After I had my son I would just stare it at him and wonder how he ever fit in my belly. There is no other word to describe it but amazing! Here is a before and after photo that I took of my good friend and her little 10-day old baby girl.
Enjoy them, Samantha

We took the first photo a few weeks back and then again when baby Lillian was 10 days old! Isn't baby Lillian gorgeous?? Below are some B&W ones I love.
keep calm and carry a camera.

Then I saw this quote, "keep calm and carry a camera", I love this one even more! I found this on the savvyphotographer.com's site. Now if only it was in lime green
new journey and new boots.

Hi everyone!
Samantha H. Photography is moving to southern Arizona in a month! In celebration of our upcoming move, Dean (our son) needed a pair of cowboy boots before we left for the Southwest! I thought you would enjoy these photos of Dean and the update on the Arizona move. I will still be coming home to Minneapolis for photo trips and wedding photography as always.
Enjoy, Samantha

the little chubby legs inside the cowboy boots are SO adorable! I just can’t get enough of these photos-there were a lot more to choose from these are just my favorites!

tiffany & gavin: engagement session
Posted on August 1, 2011
Here is a good story for you! I met this lovely lady on a connection flight back from Atlanta to Fayetteville. We happened to sit by each other and start chatting while Dean (then 9 months old) was all over the place! I found out that Tiffany was also from good ol’ Minnesota (what a small world) and her soldier who was also from Minnesota and stationed in Fort Bragg like my husband, had just asked her to marry him!! I told Tiffany I was a photographer and we exchanged information.
Then about 5 months later I find myself driving down with the family to Myrtle Beach, SC to take engagement photos for them. She is now living and working as a nurse down here. So as I complete my how small the world is speech, please enjoy this photos of a couple so in love! One more thing I am SO excited to take their wedding photos in 2012 back in the Minnesota homeland. Happy Monday! More previews to come soon.
Enjoy, Samantha
Can’t wait for your 2012 wedding!
