Many families don’t get portraits done because it feels so overwhelming.
Which is why I get to know each family to create a tailored, simple, fun experience.
So that you can have artwork you are proud to hang on your walls and tell stories from.
Come enjoy a low stress portrait experience with your family.

Real Families. Cherished Memories.
Featured Family Galleries
These two love birds were a joy to work with. They wanted to get portraits of the start of their family. We were able to spend some wonderful time in nature out in Rye, Colorado and capture some beautiful moments between them.
Outdoor Family
With kids that just keep growing, now was a great time to go out with the Billings family. Even Grandma came along to the session. This was a chance to laugh and joke as we wandered around City Park. It ended with the creation of some beautiful wall art.

The billings
Even when your kids have grown, you can and still should do family portraits. This family was fun loving and just a joy to be around.
Larry and his sons all play guitar so, of course, we brought them along to include in a few images.

The Family Experience
As a mom myself, I know we all have huge to do lists, and time only feels like it keeps going faster. You want to stop time, remember who they are right now at this very moment. Let me capture you and your family so that you remember every precious moment.
So that you can have artwork you are proud to hang on your walls. Artwork that will serve a springboard for storytelling. Artwork that will help deepen your family's sense of belonging and connection.

Sam went more than the extra mile to make everything work for our family, she took the time to get to know us, and she made the shoot fun and personal to us. We now have gorgeous artwork and so many memories spread throughout our house.
Samantha is one of the most talented people I have ever had the pleasure to be around!!! She has done my family portraits, my spouses headshots, and my own headshots for my business!! I would recommend Samantha to anyone at any time of day!!!
Samantha Hardcastle is a family photographer that demonstrates the highest level of quality, professionalism, dedication, and energetic passion to her work. . . . !! It was a pleasure to do a session with her. The results were more than I could have asked for!!
Here's why you choose Sam Hardcastle as a photographer...she will capture your family authentically. She did such a great job at letting us be who we are and followed along to catch us just as we are. The pictures she took are going to take me right back to this age for my children, to this place in their life, to these moments that make me smile and laugh and cry. Her ability to take who we are and put them in stills is inspiring. She will take your vision that you didn't you had and put it into pictures. I am so happy with the images that she took for us!
