If you are thinking about starting photography or have just been lacking the motivation, her stories will inspire you to pick up that camera again. Even if it's just your phone.

We could all use some positivity right now, and my guest Sam brings the positivity in full force! She is originally from New York and moved to Florida after falling in love with the beaches here. She is a great all around photographer but loves to focus on the beach. It is her happy place and where you will see most of her pictures from.
