"Sammy amazed me with his ability to creatively capture photographs of my then 11 month old. Not only was he patient, he was flexible, entertaining and engaging - which is often required of anyone trying to keep the attention of a little one.Within two weeks I was able to bask in his work with plenty of time to send photos off to family and friends before Maxwell’s 1st birthday. I will forever cherish the moments he was able to capture. I highly recommend him for any of your photography needs."
