Hi guys! I'm Samantha with Samantha Ayers Lifestyle. Like most photographers, I am the one behind the camera, but I do tend to jump on the other side for family pictures every year! I was born and raised in a small town in Alabama and after high school I moved off to college. A year into college I dropped everything and moved to Alaska to marry my husband. Talk about a chase!! 10 years later, we now have three beautiful little girls who rule our world.
For me, spending days with my family at the pool, lake, or just somewhere together is my favorite kind of day. I enjoy hiking, fishing, camping, and anything that involves the outdoors! I am always down for a cold craft beer and enjoy exploring all the breweries as we travel across the US. With my husband in the military, traveling every few years is quite common. Although it can be hard, especially since we have children now, I am thankful for the opportunity of being able to travel while also documenting our lives throughout different places. Honestly, that has been my reason as to why I picked up my camera in the first place. I live for those small moments of capturing our girls in the valleys of Colorado, on the farm land throughout Southern Georgia, and the rolling hills in the Ozarks. These are the moments I have hanging on my walls.
As for capturing my favorite kind of storytelling, I adore big families. Having three girls myself, chaos is something I am used to and love finding the little moments siblings share with one another during a session. The best part about my job is being able to connect with such a diverse population every session and see the love each family has for one another.

"Samantha has got to be one of my favorites because she made me feel so natural and comfortable like it was another day hanging out with a good friend and my baby. There were no awkward moments and forced smiles but rather genuine, fun times. The quality of the photos are also amazing and I got them back faster than any other photographer. I highly recommend Samantha because she has the eye for photography and capturing those special moments"

"I would recommend Sam to anyone, from two years ago when she took a few pics for my kids first day of school, I knew she was going to be a great photographer. Sam took her time and ensured we received quality pics because of her preparation she did prior to my arrival. I felt very comfortable throughout the photoshoot session. We received extremely high quality pictures in a timely manner as well. I would recommend her to anyone considering getting pictures taken anytime soon! Thank you Sam!"

"Sam is a magic worker! She somehow managed to turn my crazy, awkward, crying crew into something beautiful. We will treasure these pictures for years to come!"

"We did a couples shoot with Samantha and it was a great experience. She was very communicative and asked great questions about what we wanted out of the shoot. We asked for some extra guidance during the session and she was very patient with us. The photos turned out exactly as I was hoping""
