A little about me.....
Photography has been my longest-standing love, having been a passion of mine since my grandfather gave me my first camera in 3rd grade. That camera sparked a lifelong love of bribing my childhood best friends to be models for my creative ideas and class assignments, and later honing my skills wrangling babies and toddlers chasing after my sons. My 12 years in business have given me that magic power to capture that beautiful moment as it happens and give you that WOW photo even when it feels like the littles are running rampant and the wind is doing funny things to your hair.
Whether it’s capturing that brand new ring sparkling after the “Will you?”, that first kiss and celebration after “I Do!”, a growing bump, tiny baby toes, first steps, or the years that fly by after all too fast—getting to capture those lifelong darling memories for families from the very beginning is a true honor!
I am based out of Oviedo, Florida serving most couples and families of Central Florida and the East Coast for Weddings, Engagements, Maternity, Life Style newborns, Family Photography and Senior Sessions. I can’t wait to work with you and capture your family's Darling Memories!

"Such a talent! I loved all the photos she took at our Mommy & Me session! She was so patient and kind (we had to reschedule multiple times due to weather and/or sickness). We booked with her for the mini Christmas photos and I can't wait! Thank you so much for such amazing photos!"

"My family is not exactly the easiest to photograph! I have very active children that have the attention span of squirrels. She is patient and calm and always makes sure she gets THE shot! My “Mommy and Me” photos and my most recent Family photos are absolutely stunning. Some of my favorite pictures I’ve ever had. I will only be using her from here on out. Sami is amazing."

"I decided last minute we needed smash cake and family pictures and I’m so glad I found Darling Memories! Sami worked us into her schedule and I couldn’t be happier with the pictures. She captured all of our personalities and it will be something we look back on and cherish for the rest of our lives!"

"Sami is fantastic. My son is autistic and we worked together as a team to make sure we got all the pictures we wanted, in a timely manner. She is so patient and accommodating and I appreciate it more than I can put into words. Thank you thank you thank you!"

"Sami took our maternity pictures last summer and even though it was a hot muggy morning in June and we were all drenched she kept us laughing, kept my mind off how hot and miserable I was and was able to capture amazing pictures we cherish (she even went above and beyond and helped recreate some of our engagement photos that were taken at the same spot! & even a favorite from our wedding.)"
