My name is Samantha Barnea, better known as Sammy Nicole. I am the mother of a photogenic little boy and I am married to the love of my life. I am also a full time 5th grade teacher for LAUSD, photography is currently my side business.

I received my first Nikon as a gift when I was in ninth grade and I would always take my friends to the park or the backyard to take pictures of them. I didn't know this was something I loved doing until I really started to venture more into it. At age 22 I moved to Israel and decided I wanted to start taking more photos so I offered families sessions, and I always loved hearing how much they loved them!! I love candid photos and capturing moments. I love silly prompts and laughing along with you. I love telling stories and making friends. I would love to capture your moments and memories so you can keep them forever.
