About
Hi there! I’m Sam, a storyteller, memory keeper and photography expert.
And beyond that... I'm a mom and wife who loves to sew, cook and travel!
ONCE UPON A TIME
I was working 9-5 in an corporate world, spending my weekends pursuing my passion of photography. Most thought it was just a hobby. Until it... wasn't.
Today my business is in it's 10th year and has become a career that I am beyond grateful for. Being born and raised in Reno, I now get to spend my days capturing our community in every way, shape and form!
Oh, yeah, and if you're wondering.... where does "AB Photo" come from? What does it mean? I started this journey with my boyfriend (now husband) whose last name started with B and mine started with A --- real creative right?
I'm kind of plain and simple.
I absolutely love to watch outfit videos and shopping hauls. I am obsessed with beautiful wedding jewelry and details. If I could go to every dress appointment for my brides, I would!
Me though? I'm mild. I'm a t-shirt kind of girl. I've never had my ears pierced and I often wear my hair in a pony tail. I love getting to be authentically me while getting to capture the uniqueness of you.
As I have gotten older, I have found that my passions, my career and my family get the best version of me when I am my simple self!
I can't wait to get to know you.
Top: My sweet boy. Left, my better half. Right: Little me.
