Marina Family Photographer

Monterey County’s coastline is effortlessly timeless. There are few, if any, coastlines that rival the seascape beauty between Monterey and Big Sur. I am a Marina family photographer focused on photographing you, and those you love, against the captivating backdrop of Monterey County. 

Sterling Reverie Photography was established with the purpose of capturing the reverie aura of life. My photographic art is an extension of my core being. Visually embodying romance and nostalgia held in every event and season in life. 

Many moment in our lives have hidden beads of romance. Whether it be the obviously romantic coastal hike on the cliffs of Big Sur or the pure innocence of your baby’s hand grasping your finger for the first time, these intricacies of connection in the moments of our lives weave layers of intense romance. As your photographer It is that sentiment that draws me in. It is that aura that I seek to capture. The connection between you and those makes your heart sing.

"Sam was the single best choice we made at our wedding. She is the type of person and photographer who can't help giving her all to anything or anyone she touches. Our wedding fell in love with her and her sister by the end of the night and I had maybe 10 guests ask for her contact details. She is professional, personable, and has such a good eye. We couldn't have done it without her and we are so appreciate of her!"

"I would give 100 star review if it was a option. Samantha responded to my inquiry immediately, she was so thoughtful and professional. She dealt with a family of rambunctious children and I thought it would be impossible to get a good picture with the kids but she nailed it and gave me a couple of wonderful photos!!! I’m so happy and would highly recommend her if anyone needs family photos."
