Blended families are always near and dear to my heart, being a stepmom to one crazy teenager right now! This sweet family was such a joy to have in front of the camera. You could tell they were just crazy about each other! This year’s fall mini portrait sessions were such a blast for me. […]

Amanda was the first person to book a vintage truck fall mini session, and I couldn’t have been more excited! She warned me her daughter could be a bit shy in front of the camera, but y’all, she was a total natural-and absolutely gorgeous to boot! These two are transplants from Hawaii and now call […]

This sweet family was full of smiles for our vintage truck fall mini session! Amy’s two kiddos were so sweet together, you could tell her daughter was smitten with being a big sister. And seriously y’all, can we talk about how adorable her son’s smile is?! He held back for a minute, but when he […]

It’s funny how small a world truly can be, especially around a military community like the Fort Campbell, KY area. This sweet family booked a vintage Chevy truck fall mini session and I had no idea initially, that we boarded our horses together! I’m super terrible with names, so I totally blame that, but their […]

This fall, I had the opportunity to travel to Hope Mills, North Carolina and spend the weekend with another horse friend. The Harper family invited me into their home, while I spent a few days capturing their beautiful farm and family. Melanie and her husband, Keith, run MP Sporthorses, a sport horse breeding, training and sales […]

I asked Rachel if she and her kids would be my models for the vintage truck fall mini sessions because she’s always posting the cutest photos of them online and I knew I had to get them in front of my camera. Rachel has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know, and I’m […]

I have the cutest friends y’all. I can’t even over exaggerate that one! Kelsey is another friend I met when I moved my horse to Harmony Horse Farm LLC. in Adams, TN. She was out there baby wearing and cleaning stalls like a total bad a** and she was super sweet from the jump! We […]

I remember talking with friends last year about how I had been itching to do a snow shoot with a couple. I wanted warm cuddles and cute smiles, lots of laughter and every shot to scream ‘hopelessly in love’. So when Clarksville, TN finally got a good amount of snow, and roads were actually passable, […]

Did you hear?! It’s time to celebrate in 2018! I am so excited to announce that with the new year, Sammie D Photography will be offering full wedding photography services for Clarksville, TN and the greater area! It has been a long time coming and, now that we will be settled in the area for […]

To the outside world, it may seem like once you’ve attended one military homecoming, you’ve attended them all, but for me, that’s never the case. Each one is so special, not just because a family is once again whole, but because our Soldiers are home safely. At Fort Campbell, KY, I’ve had the pleasure of […]
