I have been capturing photos with a DSLR since 2014, starting as a hobby in my early teens and now have refined and developed my skills into a professional freelancing career. I have worked in hospitality for 6 years, during that I have developed a skillset for capturing food, drink, venue and lifestlye content for small businesses, digital publicaitons and social media campaigns. I also photograph landscapes, travel, nature, events and portraiture for clients and personal projects.

My unique perspective— the artistry of cooking, and the eye of a photographer—allows me to capture these scenes of food and hospitality in a way few can replicate. Since launching "Nut’s Photography" during the COVID-19 lockdown, I've transformed the presence of numerous brands, restaurants, and cafes across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast. WHY WORK WITH ME? Unique Perspective: As a former chef, I see details others might miss. With me, you're not just getting photos; you're investing in a vision. Proven Track Record: I've elevated countless businesses with my lens, helping them grow and connect with their audience in impactful ways. Forward-Thinking: Always innovating, always pushing boundaries. My slogan says it all: 'Beauty Can Be Seen Through My Lens.'

Hey party ppl! My name’s Samantha, but most people call me Sam // Sami. I’m a Brisbane-based food + bev photographer and freelance creative, working across SEQ (and beyond) to bring fun, character-filled content &strategy to businesses of all shapes and sizes. After a long stint in Brisbane hospo, I swapped FOH for a camera and now capture the chaos from behind the lens. My experience spans everything from dental studios and electricians to music schools, weddings, and events... basically, if it needs content, I’m there (sue me). That said, my heart truly belongs to hospo ❤️ I hold a Bachelor’s in Marketing & Comms, a Master’s in Advertising, and an overly excitable attitude that’s done far more for my career than any piece of paper ever could (sozzy QUT).
