The story of Fotovansam and becoming a fulltime photographer

Sam's photography adventure began on her wedding. Sam booked a photographer she knew through mutual friends. "She got me really excited about creating beautiful images," says Sam. The ambition for taking pictures had been there for some time. She loved taking lots of photos on vacations, but this experience made her want to photograph people too.

Where it all began for Fotovansam

When Sam was expecting her oldest son, she decided to buy her first DSLR camera. This was the moment she decided to do more with photography. She could practice a lot and at the same time take many beautiful photos of her son. With her new camera in hand, she felt ready to delve deeper into her passion for photography.

Capturing moments

Sam focuses on capturing everything related to children. Families, portraits, newborns, births, and pregnancies. Her genuine love for children, along with her ability to connect with babies, allows her to create a warm and relaxed atmosphere during her photoshoots. “I find this period so fragile and beautiful that I love to document it!” she said. Children often bring spontaneity to her sessions, resulting in candid and heartwarming images that reflect genuine emotions.

A new path: fulltime photographer

Sam started her photography career while also working at a school. She loved her job, but due to personal circumstances, she could no longer balance it with her personal life, leading her to decide to pursue photography fulltime.

Although she felt a sense of loss leaving her teaching position, this choice allowed her to make her dream of a photography career a reality. With this decision, she now has the freedom to set her own schedule and fully focus on capturing precious moments with expectant mothers, newborns, and families.

The importance of delivery

For Sam, delivering her photos is just as important as the photoshoot itself. A smooth process not only keeps her clients happy but also improves her professional image. With Shootstack, she ensures her clients can select their favorite photos and receive all the images beautifully.

Sam’s journey from a hobby photographer to fulltime professional shows her dedication and passion for capturing life’s most special moments. With each shoot, she creates lasting memories, combining her love for photography with the joy of delivering beautiful images that families will treasure for years to come.
