The big moments,
the loud ones and the quiet ones,
the in-betweens,
the ones you don’t think anyone else is watching.
For the moments that don’t seem like anything,
but mean everything.
heirloom artwork
Real talk. You don’t order a dish at a highly rated restaurant to then have the chef serve you only the ingredients, not the mouth watering finished dish you were dreaming about. In other words, the chef provides a seamless culinary experience for you, from start to finish.
So why would you invest your time and money in having such a special time in your daughter’s life captured by a photographer, only to then have to further spend your time navigating a printing & design process that can be daunting and time consuming all by yourself?
Or worse, you realize years later that you never even printed the photos because it kept getting pushed down on your to-do list?
At the end of the day, you simply want to relax and spend time with your family, not be back on the computer figuring out where to buy quality prints, in which sizes & how to crop for those sizes, what format is best, which images to print, where to hang or display prints, etc. Talk about analysis paralysis!
That’s why you’re investing in a professional photographer.
When you work with me, in addition to an effortless photo session experience and photos even more beautiful than you could’ve imagined, you also receive my white glove printing experience after your session.
My printing expertise helps you easily turn your beautiful photos into heirloom artwork to display in your home, and meant to last to pass down to your next generation.
*You can also always handle printing your selected images included in your package with the photo lab of your choice as your images come with a personal printing rights license.*

How it works:
Your daughter’s senior photo’s deserve to be printed and displayed in your home on your walls and coffee table, and with my white glove printing experience that will happen with ease because I’ll be your print-fairy godmother.
I work with you to make this process smooth, efficient, and fun. After a quick chat about your favorite images in the gallery, your home decor, wall space, as well as potential gift ideas for family members (grandparents LOVE prints and albums!), I’ll suggest the best printing options that works best for your family & home.
From there, all you need to do is approve and/or make minimal changes, and then we can submit your order (including using your gallery store print gift card) to have your daughter’s photos printed.
In other words, there is no need to use your precious time to navigate this printing process yourself, only to delay months (or years) to finally print photos, because I’m here for you to make sure you do!
¡hola hola!
I'm Kristen & it's nice to connect with you!
10+ ago I retired from the hustle and bustle of the NYC corporate banking world, trading in my heels for a surfboard and camera in Costa Rica. My photography work has been featured & published internationally in Harper’s Bazaar, Coastal Living, American Express, and Real Simple, to name a few (eek!).
I love dancing with waves, chasing sunsets, beach strolls with my sassy pants Chihuahua named Gidget, laughing my butt off, and giving you one heck of a fun photo session experience.
I’m a photographer for the adventure loVing suNset dreamers & wild at heaRt.
So if you’re fueled by sandy toes and salt air, down to getting a ‘lil wet playing in the waves and wanna see my little Chihuahua Gidget do tricks for ya, obsessed with breathtaking sunsets, value your experience over perfectly posed photographs, and cherish photography with substance, depth, and story we’re gonna have one heck of a good time!
next steps
To book your daughter’s senior and family photo session I require a $250 non-refundable deposit (as once you book, I’m turning away other clients in order to serve you on your date) and a signed photography agreement, both of which can be easily completed electronically.
If you have any questions, simply reply back to your inquiry email. If you know exactly which package you’d like, let me know via your inquiry email and from there we’ll chat about the best date for your photo session given your available dates to officially get you on my calendar.
If you are unsure about which package is best for you & your daughter, we can schedule time to chat — I promise, no awkward sales pitches, just what is best for your family. There is always the option to add more time to your session after you book and before your session, as well as upgrade to the PLUS package after your gallery is delivered.
I can’t wait to welcome you and your loved ones to the Samba to the Sea familia!
Samba to the Sea Photography is an internationally published photographer for the adventure loving sunset dreamers & wild at heart.
