I had so much fun shooting with this girl for her 30th Birthday. I’ve known Samantha for a few years since her and her family have been coming down to see me for their yearly family shoots. So when she said she wanted to do something special this year for her 30th birthday, I was super pumped as I haven’t had one of these yet. As a mom of 4, photographer, and wife, this girl lives a busy life. But over the past couple of years she has had some major goals in her life, lost a ton of weight and got herself to a point of feeling super confident with herself. So why not show that all of right? I’m so glad she stepped in front of the camera by herself because she totally rocked it and this will be a great moment for her to look back on.
