Hello! My name is Samantha Parks and as a traveling photographer, I specialize in; Wedding, Portrait, landscape and Wildlife. My love for the arts developed as a young girl, taking a few classes in middle school and high school, only to grow a deeper passion as I grew older. On my 21st birthday, I was gifted my first DSLR camera, with that it opened a new gateway for my creativity. Shortly after this, I enrolled in classes, earning multiple certificates in the industry- including my Photography Diploma. As of March 2023, I have graduated from Full Sail Universities certificate program and am continuing towards my Associates Degree to expand my artistic abilities in the Graphic Design industry. With Graphic design under my belt I will take my photography to the next level with publication. My dream is to be a Photojournalist for National Geographic. Thanks to my family and friends that have supported me on my journey. Huge thanks to my best friend and photography mentor, April, who has encouraged me to keep pushing forward with my art. |
