Samuel J. Layendecker Photography

Hello everyone, my name is Sam Layendecker. I am a 23 year old from Champaign, Illinois and currently a transfer student in the Recreation and Parks Administration at Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois. 

​

I am an avid sports fan and love numerous sports such as basketball, football, baseball, and soccer. When I am not watching sports, you can always find me fishing with my dad or hanging out with some of my friends. I am also an amateur photographer and like what one of my friends said, I love trying to find the right picture for every moment. I spent 3 years as a basketball manager for Parkland College in Champaign, IL while playing basketball at my high school for 3 years as well.

I started to get interested in photography from one of my friends who created his own photography business. I did not get to do my first photography session till I was able to do my 2nd cousin wedding down in Athens.

​

Now I am hoping to capture the lasting moments of when I am in college or when I'm hanging out with friends. With these pictures, I share them with you so that you can cherish and enjoy them as well.
