Welcome to my website, and let me introduce myself. I am Samantha-Jane and I am a Fine Art Portrait &Creative Wedding Photographer from Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland. I am based between Scotland & France. I have been published in magazines such as “The Unfinished Mag”, “Stellar Exposure”, “The Bold and the Beautiful” , Photography and More”, ENVYD magazine, & Color Shot Magazine. I hold a BA Hons & MA in Photography.
I love telling your story through the photographs I capture during our session, wedding, event or portrait, they all have a story to tell. I tailor each one uniquely & individually to your needs and personalities from shooting to editing.
Photography has always been a passion, long before I decided to do it professionally. I will work with you one to one all the way from preparations for a wedding to the details that you just have to have in a portrait session. I employ three different techniques when I shoot a wedding, I shoot candid to convey those moments when you just forget I am there, Traditional posed, which looks more editorial with a fine art edit, and lastly creativity. That could be smoke bombs, Wedding Day sunglasses, mirrors, double exposures and many more.
My aim is to be accessible to everyone, putting my heart and soul in to every shoot regardless of the budget. During your Wedding shoot, I literally am your wing woman on the day, guiding you through it making your day individual to you!

“The damp Glencoe winter weather conditions didn’t deter Sam either! The final photos really tell the story of our day, capturing every special moment perfectly. Stylistically, her work is stunning and creative, Sam has a genuine talent for photography and an eye for the arts. Our wedding album is unique and reflects my husband and I, we’ll look back on these photos for years to come. Thank you Sam!” Alyssa & Thomas Lees – Feb 2023

“Samantha-Jane is very talented and knows exactly what she is doing. She is totally professional but also very personable and a fun person to work with. She really puts you at ease. She knows how to set up a great shot and works very efficiently. She is very creative, and she gave me a wide selection of finished shots to choose from for my music promotion. I decided to leave it all up to her – I had total faith in her – and I was right to do so!” Ian Murphy Sept 2022
“Sam was recommended to me by my now mother in law. I am so thankful we connected and what an absolute pleasure it has been working together. The best pics are captured in the moments and the moments you’ve captured are the best. You truly captured us a couple and you are truly amazing at what you do, we cant thank you enough Sam”. Sarah & Darren Porter Aug 2023

Experience
Whether it is a commissioned portrait or a beautiful group session, the outcome and methodology is the same. We work together collaboratively and make a great portrait in a setting of your choosing. Maybe a 1920’s style shoot or a work shoot or candid family portraits, I can cover all of this and at a great price, have a look through my images and reviews here and on social media.
I have undertaken 4 commissions, and many styled portraits. I have captured wedding days, engagements, events and baby portraits. I have been running my business for 7 years now and have a full studio set up ready with various backdrops of your choosing and location shoots also. If you would like to get in touch, please do so via the various outlets on social media, website or by phone,
