Nice to meet you!
I'm Samie
The heart behind The Meraki Studio & Hype: The Collective.
I love the little things that feel big later: real laughs, soft moments, and the chaos in between. With a camera in my hand, I keep things relaxed and real, whether it is a family session, a wedding day, or a volleyball match.
Based in California, I travel wherever the story takes me. Working with people who want photos that feel like their actual life, not a stiff, staged version of it. I’m endlessly inspired by people and their stories, and would be honored to tell yours.

Hype: The Collective
This is where volleyball meets culture. I film the energy, grit, and connection that make this community feel like home from packed hometown gyms to all-day tournaments. It is more than highlights; it is rallies, chaos, and clutch plays that remind you why you play.
