Gathered Moments.
Honest Stories.

Sam was very helpful from the beginning and accommodating to our baby’s needs on the day! We were so comfortable around Sam and we loved how she interacted with our baby, even giving her cuddles to help our little one settle. It was like we had known her for years- a very good friend, part of the family and we’d only met her in person for a few hours. I’m was honestly blown away with the photos. They are just perfect and exactly what I knew Sam would do for us! Thank you so very much Sam for capturing these precious moments for us! These photos are truly priceless for us! I’m filling up just looking at them! If you would like someone that is friendly, funny and understands a family’s bond- then Sam is the one- you won’t be disappointed! She’s a gem!

We had a great family/pregnancy photoshoot with Sam. I am usually not very comfortable being photographed and this pregnancy has not made that easier. Sam understood what I was looking for: shots to remember the love and tenderness we have for this baby to come and our toddler, despite how challenging it could be at times, so we can tell our children the story in the perfect way possible! We are really grateful for what she managed to do and I am happy our kids will get to have these amazing memories. And, in addition to all that, we had fun, even my very active toddler! I highly recommend her!

Totally loved the experience with Sam! She's authentic and warm, it's not easy to find a photographer who puts you first. She's been very patient and personable, always open to discuss what's best for the shoot we want. She puts us at ease throughout so we had fun! The photos have a soft and warm touch that we were looking for to capture the previous moments before our little baby arrives. Nestology's great!

My family and I had our photo shoot with Sam and it was such a wonderful experience. She went out of her way to make us all feel comfortable and relaxed. My children are teens and Sam knew exactly how to find the right time to capture our family dynamic. The pictures came out so beautiful and she was able to put all our love and feelings into the photos. I could not recommend Sam enough, very easy to work with and such a unique eye for catching those special and intimate moments between families. Thank you Sam for helping us create memories to treasure for years to come.

It was our first time meeting Sam for a newborn session and it was truly the best experience ever. Sam is such a lovely, warm and patient person, she made the shoot super fun and relaxing. She was amazing with our toddler (who can be a handful), making him laugh at the camera and even gave him snacks and stickers. We didn't have to wait long for our gallery to be ready and I was completely blown away and so emotional at the same time when we viewed our pictures - they are absolutely gorgeous and captured our raw emotions so perfectly. I love that the pictures take us back to those precious moments whenever we look at them. Thank you Sam for creating beautiful memories for us that will last a lifetime!

Sam is the absolute best. She is incredibly warm and makes you feel immediately at ease. During the shoot, we had so much fun and it felt just like hanging out with old friends! You could definitely tell in the photos - they were all just happy, natural and felt like ourselves (but in the best light haha!) I've recommended Sam to all my family and friends who have looked for recommendations and everyone who has booked with her has always been impressed. She truly goes above and beyond for all her clients!

Samantha is amazing! She is super responsive and flexible given it is a newborn shoot. I love her creative style and natural/relaxed approach. She is gentle and kind with baby and is so easy to work with. I would use her again for our next family photoshoot and highly recommend her to anyone looking to create beautiful natural memories with their loved ones.

Sam has been absolutely wonderful before, during and after our family photoshoot. We can’t recommend her enough! Sam has a bright and relaxed demeanor that set our kids immediately at ease around her, which made the photoshoot so smooth and fun! Our kids were giggling and having a great time, so did the grownups. My daughter declared at the end of the shoot, this is the best photoshoot ever! (And she’s done a few. Haha)

I don't get photos taken often because I feel super awkward, so I was kind of hesitant to do a maternity photoshoot, but I'm so glad I did! Sam made it super fun and relaxed, and I LOVE the results. She got so many good shots of me, my bump, and our little dog -- never work with animals, they said, but Sam had it all under control. She also provided beautifully edited pictures super speedily and her admin system is very easy to handle. So happy to have these memories captured for when I'm old and wrinkly and happy with (hopefully) grandkids weaseling about.

Sam has an amazing eye for capturing milestones and such great talent when it comes to working with babies and young children, that I’m blown away each time I see the work she produces, squirmy babies notwithstanding. We got our pics taken for my dad’s 60th when my son was a wee 8-week-old and again when he turned one, and both times, Sam delivered pictures that got our entire family laughing, tearing up and truly appreciating these moments that she managed to get on camera.

We had a wonderful newborn family shoot with Sam. It's not easy to take photos with an active 3 year old plus a newborn but it was a very relaxing shoot and Sam did a great job of capturing all of the shots we wanted and more. We love the photos and are very thankful that Sam went above and beyond to edit so many extra photos for us too. I highly recommend Nestology Studio for anyone looking for beautiful lifestyle photography.
