Sam Stenson is she is water

Hi my name is Sam, I am a poet and lover of the written word, a scent aficionado, a world traveler, lover of all bodies of water, an Aquarius sun and driven by curiosity and my love of learning. I created she is water as a pseudonym for myself and my artwork in the dawn of instagram, over 10 years ago. Words stewn together on a fridge in poetic verse. I tailored the words and adopted them as my chosen name, the title that would encompass and paraphrase my entirety. She is water, felt like my given name. And so it goes.

I am a photographer creating with art- lovers in mind. I see photography as an opportunity to tell a story, to draw the onlooker near. I make images with intentional intimacy. This is a resting place for those who cherish photography with a balance of the candid and carefully created.

Selling something? Sit back and allow me to weave the myth, the story your brand tells, into each image. I refer to this process as visual storytelling and I know that your unique story is the tipping point between you and another brand, it is the very thing that your audience covets.

Do you crave images capture the current age of your growing children, your present life at this particular moment in time? When I capture family portraits I imagine them in a phyical context, as framed prints in the hands of your children, grown. I envision them as beloved heirlooms.

I have a wide variety of creative offerings, and no matter which package best suits your needs, I am here to hold you the entire length of the process that will be steeped in co-creation, laughter, and many many rolls of film. Thank you for being here.
