investment GUIDE About Me Hello! I’m Samantha. I can't live without my CANON R5 & R6! Favorite lenses: 28-70 mm f/2 & 70-200 f/2.8 My passion for photography began when I was just a little girl. I started taking photos on family trips and loved to show my work to anyone who took interest (back then I shot on slide film and gave presentations at my church)! I even sold note cards and won a few contests! Fast forward several years, and I was honored to attend a nationally ranked magnet school for visual and graphic communications where I learned about the principles of design and took many courses in photography. Even while I attended Cornell University where I studied Health Policy, I kept my photography dream alive and bought my first DSLR camera after winning a $2,000 essay contest. My mom passed away from brain cancer while I was in college, and it was this experience that made me realize the importance of photos in keeping special memories and loved ones alive long after they are gone. My first wedding was in 2011 for college friends right after graduation. The rest is history! I lived in the DC and NYC areas for years and got to shoot at many unique locations before coming to North Carolina, where I live with my wonderful husband and 3 dogs in Apex. Combined, my background in art, 10+ years of photography experience, and a natural love of planning and order has made me passionate about not only capturing beautiful moments, but creating an experience that is organized and stress-free for my clients. I'm so excited to tell your story! I'm a mom to three Polish Sheepdogs: Beasley, Duke and Dash. Lover of all things vintage and art deco, you'll find it influencing my timeless warm and moody photography style! In my free time you'll find me at church, exploring antique malls, scouting out new coffee shops and breweries to try, and traveling to new destinations! A foodie at heart, I love exploring the food scene wherever I am. My favorite restaurants in he Raleigh area are Second Empire and Brewery Bhavana. WHO YOU ARE Working with Sam was an absolute treat! She was so encouraging and fun during our whole session. We love our photos and will treasure them always. OBSESSED with Samantha Holloway Photography’s work! Love to plan, or at least, wouldn’t mind having someone who will plan out your session for you in advance! Want to feel beautiful in your photos and have a photographer who will be mindful of any body image concerns and pose you to look your best. Want a photographer who will take the time to understand who you are and the details that are important in your photos. You appreciate tips and suggestions before and during your session to ensure you have the best photos possible. Aren’t afraid to get some dirt on your shoes to get incredible outdoor golden hour photos Want stunning, unique couple or family photos to enjoy and look back on your special day for years to come. Love a variety of photos taken leisurely, rather than a few quick shots squeezed into a rushed mini session. -Peri Timeless warm and moody editing with realistic skin tones. Some photographers have editing styles that leave you looking like an oompa loompa or a pale ghost. I edit with the artsy vibe you love, while keeping it timeless and making sure skin tones look realistic. Sophisticated, dynamic posing to make you look amazing. Most of my couples and families tell me they have never taken professional photos before or feel self-conscious about how they look. Then they see their photos and are amazed. My goal is to guide you through posing and capture a range of emotions in your images. I love laughing poses, candid poses, and poses with movement, but also emotional and classy editorial-style poses that will make you look and feel like a model (think Vogue magazine)! My approach to posing is sophisticated and timeless, not cheesy and fake. In addition, I always take into account any body image concerns expressed by clients and aim to pose in the most flattering way. MY STYLE SAM IS AWESOME TO WORK WITH! SHE HAS SHOT MATERNITY, NEWBORN, AND FAMILY SESSIONS FOR US AND WE ARE ALWAYS IN LOVE WITH THE RESULTS. SHE IS VERY FLEXIBLE, WHICH IS A MUST WITH KIDS, AND TURNS HER PHOTOS AROUND VERY QUICKLY.
