Ok, I realized after years of posting photos and making silly little posts I haven’t formally introduced myself😬
Long overdue however thank you for having patience with me and also thank you for letting me express myself creatively and for your support. I really enjoy creating spaces for others to express themselves and feel confident. I realize that takes a lot of vulnerability and trust in your photographer. So seriously thank you.
I’m sure you also noticed the little switch up I made. I am no longer Samoleonn. Honestly, the name didn’t really leave a lot of room for letting everyone know what I’m about as a photographer. I’m hoping snappedbysam can be not only my introduction but also a new chapter.
I look forward to sharing more with everyone! Both new and archival work. Hopefully we’ll be creating something together?
With the help of friends, family, my favorite small business owners and fellow artists last month we were all able to come together to celebrate the first weekend of spring in the most whimsical and floral way possible. I feel like a broken record at this point but seriously I could not be more grateful for everyone who was apart of this day. Thank you to everyone for all their hard work and for everyone’s support. You all showed me how possible an event like this is and I fear a new passion has been unlocked🥹💖🌸✨

Happy Native American Heritage month✨I can’t wait to share all my favorite things about being indigenous and to start I want to throw it back to last month seeing my people share our powwow culture with patrons of the @gettymuseum for indigenous people’s day🪶

In Full Bloom was my favorite day. Thank you again to everyone who showed their art, was a vendors and came out to support the very special pop up. It was a lot of hard work from everyone who was involved and I couldn’t be more proud of how it turned out. A core memory has genuinely been unlocked and now I’m excited to get to working on the next event. Stay tuned!!✨💖
LOVE KILLS.
