His photography spans from landscapes and brand work, to stylized portraiture. Sam is self taught in terms of the technical elements of shooting - lighting, exposure, and composition. Over the years, he has gathered many of his own shooting and editing techniques, and is ready to pass that knowledge on to you!
Sam is incredibly passionate about teaching and sharing his knowledge with whoever is curious and desires to learn.
Dallas Stephens

Dallas began her career at 20 years old in Chicago, working brands as big as Coca Cola to smaller clients like Scrubs and Beyond. She soon discovered her niche in the fitness industry and has continued to grow her client base to brands such as Adidas, ASICS, Reebok, Columbia, and more.
Along with her knowledge of the industry, she has gained knowledge in how to take care of yourself and balance life in a career that can be so exhausting.
