About Me:
My name is Samantha Elam. I was born and raised in Greensboro, North Carolina and I'm also attending college at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. Although I have this photography business I'm not going to college for art at all. I'm currently getting a degree in Human Development and Family Studies and I have a concentration with Child and Adolescent Development. With this degree I intend to become a child and family counselor, family crisis interventionist, and work with child advocacy institutes. Eventually after a few years of family counseling I'd like to get my PhD and become a psychiatrist, however, that's many years ahead of me. My passion for counseling comes from a history of mental illness in my family and the death of a close friend who took his own life while I was in high school.
My interest in photography began at an early age, and by early I mean very early. I picked up a camera when I was 4 years old and haven't put it down since. Now I provide photographic services for many events and organizations on campus and I also do private photography sessions for individuals who need my services for personal or professional reasons.
Not only do I have an interest in photography but I also make and sell original works of art, mostly done with pen/pencil/watercolour. I have an etsy shop that I have provided a link to at the top of this webpage. The etsy shop that I have right now has not only original works of art but I also have photography on there that I sell at very reasonable prices in a variety of sizes. Take a look if you're interested!
My life has been an amazing journey so far and I plan to continue to help others by trying to bring a little more beauty into this world with my art, as cheesy as that sounds. If you have any questions or comments feel free to fill it out below and that little submit button will shoot me an email.
