Client testimony: Jenny


"Samone is an amazing photographer! Her engagement and patience with our kids is outstanding, which leads to low-stress sessions for us. She is timely with her editing and we proudly (and largely) display her photos throughout our house. Our kids absolutely love her and are excited to go see her. We’ve used Samone twice and can’t wait for the next session!"

"We are a large blended family, and with our children’s age range, family photos tend to be a nightmare! Samone did a phenomenal job getting all five kids to look at her at the same time! That’s a huge feat for us! She has even convinced my stubborn almost 5 year old daughter that pictures are fun! I would recommend Samone to anyone, any day! Thanks for the beautiful memories!"

"Let’s face it when I say “we are getting pictures taken today” my whole family lets out a huge sigh! But Samone makes it fun and relaxed for the whole family! We recently had newborn photos taken with To Have & To Hold Photography. As a mom of a newborn (during Covid) I was impressed with Samone’s patience and precautions she took around our young daughter. Can’t wait to book our next session!"

Client Testimony: Kate


"Words can't describe how amazing our photos turned out! Samone was so patient with our 2 year old, he was all over the place and she got awesome photos of us. We have 4 kids and she captured breathtaking photos of them and our family! To Have & To Hold will be taking our photos for years to come!"

"To Have & To Hold is my go to for photos! Her ability to capture my kids (who hardly ever want to cooperate), and my family is a beautiful thing! The editing that is done elevates the photos to a whole new level. I look forward to photos every time I schedule a session! I recommend them to everyone!"

"If you are in or near the Pingree/Hampshire area (or willing to come out this way) you should definitely book a shoot with Samone. Her ability to instantly connect with kids, and adults alike, makes for a really great time!"
