Bio

Blue Hearts Photography consists of a husband and wife team. Samantha does most of the photography and editing, while Collin is an excellent assistant and occasional photographer.

​

Samantha and Collin are high school sweethearts who love bouncing creativity off each other.

 

Samantha grew up a competitive figure skater. Eventually she turned professional and was a successful coach and featured in professional ice shows. Sam's life took a sudden turn when her health started rapidly declining. She was forced into early retirement and went through nearly 6 years of research before she was diagnosed with a very rare mitochondrial disease. She had always enjoyed photography and when Collin surprised her with a camera for her birthday, she quickly took to it and realized it helped fill the void of a creative outlet that skating used to be for her. With the guidance of some friends that are also into photography she found a new passion for creating fine art through photography. Since Sam's rare disease causes extreme muscle weakness and fatigue she isn't able to travel far alone. Collin comes in clutch with assisting Sam's every need, and when he takes his turn behind the lens, he always gets the best shot of the day.

​

Together, Blue Hearts look for unique angles, artistic focal points, and above all spreading the joy of artistic photography. We have been internationally published in multiple fashion editorial and most notably we've been published nineteen times in Vogue.

We enjoy all facets of photography; senior, family, engagements, boudoir, live concert and sporting events, and much more! We thank you for trusting us to capture your sacred memories.
