About Me

Hi! I’m Sami, a portrait photographer based in Southern California, specializing in Dance & Lifestyle Portraits, in addition to Creative Concepts and Stylized Sessions. I started with Family Photography but found my true passion for dance in 2021, blending my background in dance with my love for capturing movement and emotion through the lens.

I work with dancers of all ages and skill levels, and take pride in creating a comfortable and positive environment where they can express their true selves.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me reading, watching Grey’s Anatomy, dancing, or sipping on iced coffee and boba. And of course, I can’t forget my little red Toyota—just like my work, it’s full of personality!

Let’s make your next photoshoot a magical experience!

She is very professional, always provides kind words and supportive environment, and draws on the strength of each dancer. My dancer loves working with Sami, she loves her fun ideas. I have recommended Sami to dancer friends and they’ve also found Sami to be a great photographer."
