My name is Samantha Grace Richardson. I’m a college student and my major is undeclared at the moment; however, I believe I will either end up majoring in elementary education.
I live in the sunshine state a.k.a Florida. However, I was born in Southern New Jersey and moved to Florida when I was four years old with my mom, dad, and grandma on my dad’s side.
I also have two side businesses; SammiSweetBowtique on Etsy and SR Photography.
I believe my passion for writing and photography really began when I was in 7th grade and joined my middle school’s yearbook. I did yearbook for five years (2 in middle school and 3 in high school). During those years, I went from using a Nikon Coolpix to a Canon t3i, and while the camera helped improved the images; experience was really how my photographs developed from fuzzy shots of portraits to crisp action photos. I absolutely love photography. My passion for photography is why I started SR Photography (@sr.photography97 on Instagram).
As for the writing element, I loved writing like stories and jotting down life experiences. I can say as I got older and took more English classes, my writing improved. I will say like everything it gets better over time and it goes from basic and vague to in depth and unique. Yearbook really helped with writing interviews and informative journalism stories, plus with being Editor-in-Chief I learned to catch common mistakes that others made which helped me stop my own. I love writing and journalism, but after I graduated in May of 2016, that disappeared. It took me a bit, but I soon realized blogging combines both photography and writing. While blogging has been something I’ve considered for the past couple of years, it was not until recently I realized I should do it.
I hope this gives everyone a little more in-depth into my personal life.
Hi! I'm Samantha, but you can call me Sam.
