Hello,
I'm Sammy, the photographer behind the lens of Sage Imagery LLC. These "about me" pages are pretty intimidating to write; teetering between spilling out what you'll read on every other photographer page and making sure you don't overshare needless information. So alas.. here it goes!
I've always been obsessed with light, color theory, and composition, so I find absolute beauty in the unassuming places overlooked on a daily basis. Trust me and my vision, and we'll capture a unique story of you and yours, preserving it for years to come. My mission is to bring your vision to life, and keep it fun.
Don't have a fully-formed idea? I know the right questions to ask to form a vision together! Between location, style, and overall theme guidance, I've got you!
What people are saying about their experience with Sage Imagery
Amber
What am I like to work with?
PATIENT & GENTLE
I do not put harsh time limits on my packages because good things take time. And let's be real, no one likes to feel rushed. Sometimes we all need a little time to collect ourselves; I'll be there to encourage with both a gentle voice and patient stance.
Encouraging
You'll learn real fast that I'm pretty excitable about photography, especially when it impacts a person's confidence. When I click that perfect shot, I'll bounce up and down before running to show you the back of my camera. My hope in doing that is to boost your morale about what we're working toward at the photoshoot.
Model Experience
Before I was a photographer, I worked as a model. And watched twenty seasons of America's Next Top Model. I learned how to pose my body in a flattering way, find the light with my face, and add movement to shots photogenically. Now I use that knowledge to position and teach my clients! This comes in handy for boudoir, senior, and maternity photoshoots every time.
The Studio & Venue
Sage Imagery LLC offers a unique opportunity to use our private venue on 10 acres, as well as our newly remodeled studio. This brings the option to have a photoshoot both indoor and outdoor all in one session.
Studio usage is most commonly used for, but not limited to Boudoir, Maternity, Seniors, and Newborn photoshoots. It has a dual tone paint theme with 3 walls that are cream for a dreamy natural boho feel and one that is black for a more moody look. The second room is still in need of remodel (currently a rustic cabin feel to it) and is used for getting ready and final image selection for my IPS clients. The studio sets change one month ahead of the season to allow photo turnaround time, so you can expect Christmas décor to be up in late October, Spring blossoms to go up in February, etc.
The venue is the most common outdoor location for our 2022 and 2023 sessions, offering prairie, wild flowers, river's edge, country road, spring blossoms, and a small forest. So if you'd like examples of what it looks like, please check out our client galleries.
