Samantha Nicole 
My name is Samantha Nicole and I like to look at the world through a colorful lens. 
    It's a lens that reveals a glimmer of a secret that introduces to the world a complete story. It's true, you know, every story did come from a speck of something. My job is to take that speck and tell its story. 
To introduce to the world  the story of a mother who has lost her child, or the tale of two lovers. It's to show the liveliness of a shy writer or the smile of  a survivor. 
I started portrait photography in 2006 at San Francisco State University. Photography was an alternative creative outlet that allowed me to connect with people on a different scale than conversation. Photography allowed me to see a much bigger picture of the world that I shared with millions of people, and through photography, I saw beauty and pain, and most importantly, I captured  the moments where people let their guards down, and showed me who they really were. They were powerful, beautiful, complicated and fascinating. 
I specialize in portraits that allow me to get to know my subjects so  I can give them a product that they are proud and fascinated with. I work with authors, poets, musicians and models, but I also work with anyone who wants to  share their story through a beautiful image.  

Thank you for taking the time to read my "About Me." 
If you would like to work with me please leave your contact information in the 'Let's Talk' section. I live in San Francisco, California but I am able to travel. If you are not located in California that's OK too. Please leave the details of your project in the body of your message and we can discuss travel arrangements. 
Thank you for your time and talk with you soon.
