Heirloom family portraits · Greater Sacramento

 

Heirloom portraits of the people you love most.

 

A man in a light blue sweater stands on a red rock with arms outstretched in Sedona, Arizona.

I’m Sam — a family portrait artist based in Roseville, photographing families across greater Sacramento, from Folsom and El Dorado Hills to Elk Grove and Davis. I photograph a limited number of families each season, so every family receives my full attention, from the first conversation to the finished heirloom.
