Here at Gordon Design Co., all are invited.
I strive to encourage, uplift, and welcome every individual who is in front of my lens.

I specialize in naturally lit lifestyle sessions. During our time together, I will guide you and/or your group through naturally posed and candid positions.
​
To me, these are not just photographs - they are captured moments filled with emotion and memories.
​
I have had the honor of capturing over 500 families and over 60 weddings. My work has been featured on the HGTV website, local magazines, and more.
Hi! I'm Sam, owner and operator of Gordon Design Co.
​
When I'm not behind the lens, you can find me sipping on a coffee (caramel lattes anyone?!), renovating our home with my husband, cooking up something yummy, or playing with my four kiddos.
​
Born in Michigan, I have always had a love for the arts. Music, photography, crafting, and more. My senior year of high school I met my husband, Keith, online. After years of long distance dating, I moved to Minnesota, we had our firstborn, got married, and started my business.
​
Fast forward to now, my business has grown beyond what I could have imagined and I am so blessed to be able to say I truly love what I do.
