About Me

HELLO FRIENDS! IM SAMANTHA, IM 21 YEARS OLD IM MARRIED TO MY HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEART, WE HAVE TWO AMAZING KIDS, XAVIER AND XIOMARA MAE. MY HUSBAND, CHRISTOPHER, IS IN THE MARINE CORPS SO WE ARE ALWAYS TRAVELING AND MEETING NEW AND WONDERFUL PEOPLE. WITHOUT MY HUSBAND, I WOULD NOT BE WHERE I AM TODAY. HE IS MY BEST FRIEND AND MY BIGGEST SUPPORTER. HE ENCOURAGES ME AND PUSHES ME TO ALWAYS DO MY BEST. MY INTEREST IN PHOTOGRAPHY STARTED WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL. MY PAPA WAS A NATURE PHOTOGRAPHER AND HE JUST CAPTURED THE PERFECT MOMENTS IN HIS PHOTOS AND WOULD ALWAYS TELL ME, "NATURE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING THERE IS AND WE ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO CAPTURE IT." LAST YEAR, MY HUSBAND AND I WERE LIVING IN NORTH CAROLINA AT HIS FIRST DUTY STATIONED WHEN I MET MY CHILDREN'S NOW GOD MOTHER, ALLYSON, AND SHE LOVED PHOTOGRAPHY AS MUCH AS I DID. MY HUSBAND WENT OUT AND BOUGHT ME MY FIRST CAMERA FOR CHRISTMAS. ALLYSON AND I WENT OUT AND STARTED SHOOTING EVERYTHING WE COULD TOGETHER. SHE HELPED ME GET OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE, GAVE ME TIPS AND SO MUCH ADVICE AND I BEGAN PRACTICING TAKING PICTURES OF HER.

AFTER 4 MONTHS MY HUSBAND GOT ORDERS TO OKINAWA JAPAN AND WE MOVED HERE IN JANUARY OF 2020. I WAS DETERMINED TO GROW AS A PHOTOGRAPHER, NOW HERE WE ARE! I AM SO BLESSED TO BE ON THIS PATH, PHOTOGRAPHY HAS BECOME SUCH A HUGE PASSION OF MINE! I CANNOT WAIT TO MEET YOU GUYS AND CAPTURE SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS IN YOUR LIFE.
