Photography & Video for Tribal Communities, Schools, and Real Work That Matters
I’m Sam. Based in Wisconsin. Shooting pow wows, schools, sports, and community stories through photo, video, and drone.
Worked with tribal communities, schools, and organizations across Wisconsin and the Midwest.
I’m not here to just take pictures.
I’m here because this matters.
I’ve shot pow wows, games, and community events where moments don’t get redone. I don’t stage things or interrupt what’s happening—I document it as it is.
what i shoot
Tribal & Pow Wows
Real coverage of grand entries, dancers, drum groups, and everything in between—shot with respect, not from the outside looking in.
Schools & Sports
From youth programs to full game coverage. Action, emotion, and the moments players actually care about.
Community Events
Feasts, gatherings, celebrations—documenting what brings people together.
Construction & real Estate Media
Content that actually feels like you—not stiff, not forced.
Business & Branding
Content that actually feels like you—not stiff, not forced.
Portraits & Individuals
Simple, real portraits for seniors and individuals—no awkward posing, just you.
Some moments hit harder in motion.
I shoot highlight videos, recaps, and drone footage that bring everything together.

Why This Matters
Anyone can take a photo. Not everyone understands what they’re looking at.
I’m not showing up to stage moments or turn things into something they’re not.
I document what’s actually happening—how it feels, not just how it looks.
A lot of this work doesn’t get a second chance.
Grand entries, games, community moments—once it’s gone, it’s gone.
That’s why I shoot the way I do.
Real, respectful, and without getting in the way.
Because years from now, this is what people come back to.
Let’s get it documented the right way.
If you’ve got something coming up—pow wow, game, event, project—reach out.
We’ll figure out what you need and make it happen.
