My name is Samantha and I am a 27 year old plant lovin’ dog owner, living in a 1940’s cape cod house in the heart of Columbus, Ohio. Walter is my 4 year old Bernese Mountain Dog and he makes my heart so happy. I spend most of my weekends decorating and redecorating my house. But, when I am not playing interior designer, I am most likely shopping or taking care of my plants.
My first camera was given to me by my grandfather at a very young age, because I wanted to be like him. I wanted to travel the world and filling tons of photo albums full of special memories.
This camera was a disposable camera, because he was over 6 ft tall and he wanted me to learn how to “not cut off the top of his head” before he bought me a proper camera. After many years of growing taller, I finally could get the right angle of my grandfather and I was gifted a film camera. From there my love for art and photography took over my life.
The moment I realized that I wanted to be a photographer was when my high school art teacher brought in a recruiter from Ringling College of Art and Design. I learned two things that day: 1. That I could do what I love for a career and 2. I was going to attend Ringling College and no one was going to stop me! (I mean who would say no to Sarasota, Florida!)
At Ringling, I learned about lighting, camera, photoshop, art history, etc… But, very quickly I found what really mattered to me, PEOPLE. Out of everything I learned, I just wanted to learn about my clients and capture precious moments in their lives.
I am so thankful for your consideration in me and I can not wait for you to fill walls and photo albums full of special moments of special people in your lives .
