Samantha Talarico

I have traveled a rather exciting road to get where I am today. I have a background in Forensic Pathology and Cultural Anthropology with a distinct focus on Human Rights. I went on to earn a Master's in Child and Human Development. I have worked with children and adult survivors of human trafficking, secured grant funds for incredible non-profits, was a Family Intervention Specialist in the Child Welfare System, was a Trainer and Recruiter for Foster Parents, and was a frequent volunteer for local Memphis and Chattanooga Urban Development and Projects. As of 2024, I became the Communications Manager for a National Non-Profit, SADD.

What can I say? I like to dabble! All of that to say, photography is a soft place to land to create, inspire, and create lasting memories that celebrate the most beautiful parts of living. So often, we limit ourselves to new experiences and celebrating the beauty we offer the world, every one of us, and I am here to bring that to life.

I will be your professional hype woman, passionate conversationalist, and active listener. I will make sure your most significant of days go smoothly. I will diffuse tensions, promote peace, and create a sense of ease that lets you get lost in a moment with your most treasured people.

I will tell your story through the power of a lens. I am a travel and destination photographer based in Tennessee. I live in Chattanooga, Tennessee, but I travel all over!

All love is affirmed and cherished here.
