Wondering what it's like to work with me???

My clients were kind enough to let you in on the secret...

I was inspired to book with Samantha because of her philosophy, "You're not awkward in front of the camera; you just haven't met the right photographer yet." And let me be honest: I showed up to my headshot session with every awkward cylinder firing. Samantha was so patient, kind, funny, and supportive throughout the session, helping me look and feel good on a day where my confidence was down. She doesn't just tell you something looks good if it doesn't; she walks you through what to do, how to do it, and why to do it to get the best photos -- all while playing your favorite songs. I'm really pleased by the end results (which I got super fast!) and so grateful for the time she spent with me. I could not recommend her more!

Samantha recently completed my headshots, and I had a wonderful experience all around. The booking features on her website were easy to use, and she was very responsive. I appreciated that Samantha provided reminders about her service, as well as very detailed email information around what to expect. Her studio location is in a fantastic area, a short distance from the Raleigh/Durham metro area. Samantha’s studio is spacious and warm, and she was stellar to work with. She helped me to shake off my nerves, and provided excellent instruction during the photo shoot. I am grateful that Samantha is incredibly creative, as well. This allowed us to make great use of her space. I look forward to working with Samantha again, and highly recommend booking her for your photography needs. She is professional, warm, and communicative, and has a tremendously bright spirt and great talent!

After reviewing Samantha's portfolio, I knew right away that she was the photographer I wanted for my maternity shoot. She made me feel extremely comfortable during our studio session and she provided me with excellent cues to ensure that we got some stunning shots. She is such a warm-hearted and professional individual...and most importantly, her work is amazing. The photos turned out beautifully and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend her to anyone for any occasion.
