About me
Samantha - more commonly known as sammy
I’m a born-and-raised Aucklander with my story written across mountains, coastlines, and trails all over Aotearoa. From the moment I picked up a camera, I knew I wanted to capture more than just images, I wanted to tell stories full of life, connection, and adventure.
After studying Communication Art and Design in the mountains of North Carolina, USA, I found my way back home, splitting my time between Auckland, Queenstown, and the Coromandel, always chasing light, waves, and the next mish with friends.
Now based in Queenstown, you’ll find me snowboarding in winter, mountain biking in summer, and escaping to the ocean whenever I can.
Photography, for me, is about the real stuff, laughter, movement, love, and all the moments that feel like home. If you’re after natural, adventure-filled imagery with heart and soul, you’re in the right place. Let’s create something epic together.
