Hi friend, I’m the Jersey turned Wilmington girl you end up spilling your whole life story to in the bathroom line, and don’t worry, I’m definitely oversharing right back. I live for those fast, deep connections where you go from strangers to soul sisters in five minutes flat. That same energy is at the heart of my business—warm, real, and full of feeling.
I’m a true Enneagram 8: loyal to the core, protective in the best way, and always in your corner. I’m not just here to take pretty photos (though we’ll get those, trust me), I’m here to make you feel seen, celebrated, and completely yourself.
And then there’s Liam, my husband, my behind-the-scenes MVP, and the calm to my chaos. He’s the one making dinner when I’m editing into the night, folding laundry without being asked (bless him), and plugging in my laptop when I crash mid-gallery. You might catch him second shooting or helping out at a session and when you do, you’ll see exactly what I mean when I say our chemistry just works. We fully believe it helps us catch those same sparks between you.
Here’s the thing, I never want to be your one-time photographer. I pour into my clients wholeheartedly, creating friendships and a safe space that carries through every season. One day Liam and I are fluffing your dress at your wedding, the next I am absolutely squealing over your growing baby bump or showing up with celebratory treats (ice cream, obvi) when you get the keys to your new home, and absolutely tearing up during that special shoot with your mom and grandma (generational portraits- I die).
So yes, we’re your photo team but more than that, we’re the small business who stalked I mean, followed you on social media and were cheering you on before we even met. Because at Sammy Cald Photo, that’s the whole point. Come as you are- we already like you. (And honestly we’re just waiting for the appropriate time to ask you out on a double date.)

The coolest team members of SCP, Charlie and Morgan! With their contagious laughter and the most gorgeous head of hair you ever did see, they're sure to bring a smile to your face and double-taps to every photo they're in. They are the heart and soul of our team, reminding us daily why we're in love with what we do. I've gained a whole new outlook on capturing life and family moments, realizing just how precious these memories truly are as they grow. We hope you get to meet them at one of your shoots!
I'm currently based in Wilmington, NC. I started photography in 2018 head first when I needed a creative outlet. I’ve never regretted this side hustle with late night editing and busy wedding weekends. I fell in love with capturing real and honest moments between two humans who are deeply invested in one another. I’m always so honored when people entrust me to capture their stories.
I really enjoy laid back and casual sessions that bring out you at your happiest. My style is earthy, warm, and full of joy. If you’re looking for a photographer that’s deeply connected to your story and freezing it in time, then I’m your girl here + now.
I’ve met some of the greatest people I now call friends through this journey and I hope you join the club!
This is about YOU! I want to create experiences that you’ll remember every single day. That time you laughed until it hurt or when you cried reading your vows on how much you loved each other. It's all about the moments that matter in your relationship and your day. I’m here to cheer you on at every single step.
