Right off the bat, you have to understand that Samira is not just a photographer, she truly is an artist. She has a gift at documenting special moments from unique perspectives; using light, shadows, reflections and other elements to breathe life into every picture. We were fortunate to work with Samira for my school website and Facebook picture she is so easy to work with, even when you might feel awkward, not know how to stand or what exactly you should do with your hands, Trust her! Her guidance and creativity always pay off. What define the most Samira is that she is caring and passionate about photography and really want to make sure that she understand what you are looking for. She also does it in such a nice way, with a sense of humor that makes you want to keep going. I cannot imagine working with anyone else!

Sam met us in Redmond to take some family photos while the Fall leaves were in full color. She was super easy to work with in advance as we planned the day, did a great job researching and checking out the perfect shoot locations and, on the day of, was professional and immediately had us feeling at ease. She expertly wrangled all of us, including our 22-month-old son (which is easier said than done!). The resulting pictures are fabulous! She excels at capturing authentic in-the-moment shots, while also seamlessly weaving in a few specific poses we had in mind. And her turn around time on the finalized photos was seriously impressive. I would recommend her to everyone in the area and we hope we can work with her again next year!

We asked Samira to do some family pictures. We had nothing special in mind. We just knew we wanted picture of the 4 of us together. She was perfect, she had some ideas, propositions for us. Our son has severe autism and severe ADHD so it is very difficult to keep him calm and not moving but Samira was very patient and was fast enough to catch some beautiful moments of the 4 of us. We have now some wonderful pictures. I strongly recommend her!

Samira is a very talented and professional photographer. I had so much fun and joy during our session that I would really like to experience this process one more time! I like the fact that she is enjoying the process of photographing and this makes the process so easy and pleasant. I've got very nice photos, probably these photos are the best in my collection :) I highly recommend Samira to anyone who wants to have a positive and unforgettable experience of taking photos!

Samira did fantastic photos of us with our six kids at sunset with an expansive view behind us. They were personal loving pictures that caught the personality of our kids. Our family loves these photos and have one blown up on the wall of our living room. She did family pictures for us, and graduation pictures. Versatile and fun. Good personality for the teens and any age, too. Highly recommended.

We worked with Samira to get some family photos and professional headshots. She worked with my girls' personalities (both very different) to get some great shots. She has an excellent eye and is fun and easy to work with. We now have fabulous priceless photos from our time together. I highly recommend!

Samira did a fabulous job taking pictures of the cabin that we are setting up as an airbnb! She was clearly thoughtful about getting the lighting and the angles on every shot just right. We really appreciated the creative photos that she took to show off unique features of our space. Overall we are so pleased with the way the photos make our listing really pop! Thanks Samira!
