Hello!

I'm Sam!

Owner and Lead Photographer at

Gibson Photography.​

Based in Martinsburg, WV and serving the surrounding tri-state and DMV areas, I’m a full-time photographer who’s been capturing life’s most meaningful moments professionally for over a decade. I’ve proudly run Gibson Photography full-time for the past five years — and whether I’m photographing families, weddings, seniors, boudoir, sports teams, or corporate events, I bring the same passion and energy to every single session.

Photography isn’t just my job — it’s what I love to do. I believe that everyone deserves beautiful, professional images that tell their story, and that family photos shouldn’t be a luxury item. That’s why I work hard to keep my pricing reasonable and my sessions as stress-free and fun as possible. I treat every session like it’s for my own family — and I put my whole heart into every shot.

I’m proudly known as The Tattooed Photographer, and I wear that name like a badge of honor. I’ll roll on the ground, climb a chair, chase a toddler, or act like a total goof if it gets the shot. Your session should feel like you — and I’m here to help capture the chaos, the connection, and the beauty of it all in a way that feels perfectly, authentically you.

Outside of client work, I donate time and photography services to local organizations like the Berkeley County Humane Society & EPEC while also working closely with organizations such as NAWIC, Stars That Shine, & Explore Manufacturing. In 2024, I was honored to win The Journal’s Best of the Best Photographer award — and to be nominated again in 2025.

Looking for someone who’s professional but not stiff, creative but grounded, and 100% dedicated to capturing what matters most to you?

You’re in the right place.
