At the intersection of artistry and care, I design spaces that nurture reflection and genuine connection.
Hi! I'm Sam
Creative founder shaping spaces with art + neuroscience
The woman behind the lens
Hi, I'm Sam. I think of myself as a community builder — someone who designs spaces where people can engage, belong, and thrive.
I create experiences that invite presence and connection. Through Jasper Photography, LLC, Meet Me Here Chicago, and my creative voice as @Blvcktealatte, I’m building work that is as much about balance and belonging as it is about beauty. Whether through photography, curated gatherings, or daily reflections, the goal is always the same: to pause, notice, and reimagine how we show up for ourselves and one another.
I weave together art, neuroscience, and integrative practices like sound, breathwork, and aromatherapy to shape environments that feel dynamic yet emotionally safe. Sometimes this looks like portraiture; other times, immersive gatherings and retreats where play, collaboration, and connection are at the forefront.
This site is a snapshot of my world — samples of my photography, links to my socials, and pathways into the projects I’m building. I believe that when people come together with intention, we strengthen communities and expand stories. And I’m always open to creating with others who share that vision.
Each photograph on this site is part of my portfolio.

Testimonials
"...I loved working with Sam and enjoyed her bright energy and caring personality..."
..She brought so much expertise to the planning of the shoot by checking in with me as the main planner, meeting at the venue to do photo checks and help ideate what would be the final vision for the day. She also helped contribute her own ideas and thoughts to help elevate the overall experience that we were providing our guests. The final photos that she delivered were gorgeous, and a true reflection of the hard work and dedication that the entire team brought for the event. I loved working with Sam and enjoyed her bright energy and caring personality... I highly recommend Jasper Photography for your special event needs. Sam will be amazing asset to your team and will work hard to make your event vision come to life through her photography work. Don’t wait! Book Jasper Photography.
