About Sam

Sonya 'Sam' Mitchell has been capturing photos for over 40 years. She prides herself on seeing and visualizing what's missed by "common vision." For over 10 years, Sam has enjoyed capturing natural expressions and overlooked beauty, as she has photographed some of the most unique expressions that meet the eye. With educational training from Samford University (Certificate), the University of Alabama-Birmingham (UAB), Lawson State Community College and private teachings, "photography is a God-given talent; therefore the love for capturing special moments simply comes natural for me.” - Sonya 'Sam' Mitchell

SOOTSME offers what photographer Sam refers to as "you-niq" photos. Her photos reveal both the outer and inner beauty of those she captures. See more from her first self-published table book titled "Picture the Picture."

Freelance Photographer Sam believes in having fun especially when she's photographing people, places or things. She also encourages others to have fun during their photo shoots; therefore once they've viewed their finished products they can truly say that this "SOOTSME!"
