After 15 plus years of documenting families and weddings, we’ve had the frequent pleasure of practicing what we preach over the last 2 years with our own growing family. With that we’ve slowed down a little and had the opportunity to observe the ever growing photography industry from the other side as the clients. What we’ve realized is that our values have evolved. We want to make good quality photography available to young couples and families who are looking for ways to capture not only life’s big events, but the small ones too. With that Samara will be taking the reigns and offering simple sessions and accessible wedding photography through her new project as a solo shooter here at samarathephotographer.com.

Don’t worry though, Chris is still here! We will still be shooting as a team a select number of fullday weddings & documentary style family sessions at chrisandsamara.com, formerly known as Sarelle Photos. With the evolution of our core values, we felt the need to retire the formality of Sarelle Photos to make room for the down to earth simplicity of working with us.
