Hey, I’m Samantha!
I started Samantha Kay Media out of my lifelong love for photography and creative work. It all started in 2009 when I got my first point-and-shoot camera and was photographing everything in sight. In 2014, I upgraded to my first DSLR camera and spent my teenage years working as an equestrian event and portrait photographer.
I took my love of photography with me to college in 2019, when I began studying Visual Communications and Marketing. It was during those transformative college years that I discovered my passion for food and product photography. The knowledge and experiences gained in college have taken my passion and skillset to new heights, enabling me to blend my expertise in marketing strategy with my creative talents. This synergy allows me to craft purposeful and tailored content for clients, with a genuine focus on helping them achieve their business goals.
It’s been an absolute pleasure to build Samantha Kay Media and work with incredible people and CPG brands across the globe. Bringing my client’s creative visions to life and hearing the excitement they share for my work—and the results they see because of it— inspires me every day. Here are some fun facts about me:
Almond milk iced lattes are my fuel on shoot days.
I’ve owned and ridden horses since I was 11.
I’m a plant-based eater and avid baker with my own food blog, Savor The Spoonful (savorthespoonful.com).
I love running and I’ve completed two half marathons (13.1 miles)!
