Samantha here, and I'm so glad you're considering me as your photographer!
I've been enamored by the art of photography since, like, the dawn of time (and by that, I mean before Instagram existed). As a child, I was amazed by the concept of clicking a button and capturing a moment forever - so much so that I would "steal" my dad's camera on a regular basis!
On almost any given weekend, you can find me photographing weddings and portraits around central Minnesota. I'm obsessed with my "job", and even more so with my clients! I love getting to know each and every one of them throughout our time together. Serving my clients beyond my photography is one of my love languages, so buckle up, Buttercup, because we're about to be best buddies.
On any given night, you can catch me soaking up some major cuddle time with my kiddos, baking countless loaves of sourdough bread (because who doesn't love sourdough?), gettin' my hands dirty out in my garden. My husband and I have two German Sheperd rescues who we love like crazy, and we spend as much time as possible exploring the great outdoors and daydreaming about travel plans.

"Choosing Samantha as my wedding videographer was the best decision. Not only does she have an eye for detail, but she makes you feel like the most beautiful person on the planet for the day. She is beyond personable and easy to talk to. It felt like we’d known each other for years, even though we had just met that day. After the wedding day, she will continue to make you feel special by posting about your day on her social media pages. She is incredibly timely with getting your film back to you and even included a beautiful highlight to tide us over until the full film was finished. I am confident she is the BEST photographer/videographer in Central Minnesota, and I will continue to choose her to capture my family in the future."

Samantha was absolutely amazing to work with! We picked Rule Creative Co. to shoot our wedding and engagement photos because they totally fit the style we envisioned our pictures in! We were a little worried we'd be awkward in photos but taking pics with Samantha was so easy and she made posing for pictures so simple and super fun! We absolutely adore our photos and we get so many compliments from our friends and family on how amazing they all turned out! Samantha was also more than a photographer on our wedding day, she even was kind enough to do random things that we totally forgot to have someone do! She almost acted like a personal assistant at times and made our whole day so much easier! We would totally recommend Rule Creative Co to anyone considering getting photos done for any occasion!!!
