Hi everyone,

Let me tell you how this new service came to be… I have had this happen a few times in the past from other clients but this Christmas when a good friend/client from NC asked if I could help edit her Christmas photos for her, the idea came to me! I wasn’t able to be in NC since I now live in Arizona and so she took the photos and emailed them to me. I jazzed them up in Photoshop and she printed the photos of her daughter to give to grandparents for Christmas. Because of the Army life I live I am not able to be everywhere I would like to be taking photos. We have to move every couple of years sometimes less in the case of Arizona (we won’t even be here a year). This makes it difficult to build a client base when you can’t stay for too long.

I have a lot of great clients in Minnesota (where I’m originally from) but now with Baby # 2 on the way travel is becoming more…let’s just say…interesting. Anyways, this is how the idea of the Samantha H. photo editing service was born in attempt at making your home photos look professional. One, I can do this from anywhere in the country and two, this could save time and money as you don’t need to pay for a photo session. Clearly, if I’m your area and you would like to schedule a photo session I would love to hear from you. Unfortunately, I am most likely not in your area. So please pass this information on to anyone you think may be interested. Scroll down to see more information/pricing for these services and also some examples from other clients. If you have any questions, please email me at samanthahphotos@yahoo.com.

I will be in Minnesota in June to photograph a wedding and I am available for family sessions as well. I have already talked with some of you and I will be in contact soon to schedule specific dates & times.

Also, check out my Etsy photo editing service page at  http://www.etsy.com/shop/samanthahphotos09?ref=seller_info to purchase or scroll down on this main page to find my Paypal link for the editing service. Checks can also be sent in the mail for larger orders. Paypal is the preferred method of payment.

Thanks so much!

Samantha

Good morning all!!

May 5th 2009: I decided to go ahead with my dream of owning a photography business and I just dove right in with the help of supportive family and friends! I can’t believe it’s been 2 years already! In honor of this 2 year celebration I am introducing my new logos, that my lovely friend, Kate, an amazing graphic designer crafted up for me. Although I love the original butterfly logo she made for me in May 2009, it doesn’t fit the feel that Samantha H. as a company has grown into.

I wanted to have something simple/understated basically sticking with the same type of look as the butterfly.I love the green heart as the period and also the logos with my tagline “telling your story as your family grows” because it ties in the “tell your story” approach to my photography. To see the original, “tell your story” post, please click here. Also look above on my menu and click the “tell your story” tab to learn more about my thoughts on life and photography. So there you have it! My new logos are below. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next couple of years!

Thank you to all my old and new clients. I have met SO many amazing people that I wouldn’t have ever known if it wasn’t for photography. And a BIG thank you to everyone that has supported me in this new journey especially to you Kate with all of your design help–what a great friend! Thank you all more than you know!

Happy Cinco de Mayo and have a margarita for me!

What a good day! As always enjoy the day,

Samantha

my new logo!

I love this one because it ties in the "tell your story" approach of my photography.
