I have an idea for a photo session, but I need your help.
I am looking for a couple who owns or has access to one or two old fashioned bikes, one or two of the newer beach cruiser retro bikes or a Vespa or two.
If you are this couple please email me (email address: jamie@jamie-sampson.com) a snapshot of your cute selves.
The selected couple will receive a free photo session, a complimentary 8×10 and 25% off any additional prints or products.
Can’t wait!

I have a cold.
I was supposed to be spending the day with adorable children taking their photos but alas due to my over zealous snot producing nose and hacking cough, I spent the day with a fabulous robin egg blue bowl and some cherries. It is not quite the same but I completely enjoyed myself. There is something nice about taking photos just for the joy of taking photos. :)
Lots of hugs and sanitizing hand wash, hope you have a happy week.

The other day as I was climbing the stairs up to my studio and office, I was on auto-pilot, not really noticing the things around me, just focusing on the ho-hum of daily life and the things I had to get done…..
As I reached the top landing of the stairs, I glanced up and saw my name on the door, my breath caught in my throat. ”Oh my Gosh,” I thought, “this is my space”…. As I stuck my key in the lock, I felt myself smiling. As I opened the big heavy glass door, a little giggle escaped my mouth. As I walked around, I felt amazed and giddy and couldn’t help but smile. I touched the linen fabric on the modern sunshine yellow couch, I adjusted the quirky but comfy pillows on the chairs, I straightened the little brochures sitting on the recycled but chic metal side table, I looked around at my work hanging on the walls. I took a deep breath and felt my eyes start to water. A few tears rolled down my cheeks as I realized how far I had come and how how grateful I was for all of it.
Thank you to everyone who helped or was a part of one of my dreams coming true.

I spent a lovely rain filled Saturday with Daniel and Jordan. They got married. It was perfect. I got to photograph it. I loved it.
I couldn’t decide which edit I liked the best…. so I posted 3.
Lots of hugs. Hope your week is happy.

This is Jack. I like him. He likes doggy snacks.
He was all about snuggles. I wanted to take his picture, he wanted to sit on my lap and stick his nose against my cheek. I think we made a great pair.

I love this one. Isn’t it classic and romantic? I think it might end up on the wall in my office.
