Hey there — I’m Samantha , the baby whisperer and the heart behind Samantha Nickole Photography.

I  am Bay Area girl at heart, now based in Manteca, California. I’m a photographer, a proud mama of two amazing girls (13 & 10), and a total sucker for creating beautiful memories. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me snuggled on the couch with my girls watching movies or wiggling my toes in the sand at the beach.

My photography style is simple, clean, and timeless, with a big focus on keeping things calm and cozy—especially for newborns and their parents. I love creating an easy, stress-free experience where you can relax while I capture all those tiny details you never want to forget. This isn’t just what I do—it’s what I love (and yes, I’m a little obsessed).

Can you trust me with your baby? 100% yes.
I     have over 10 years of experience, completed specialized newborn safety training, and safety has always been my number one priority. I work with clean, professional equipment, stay up to date on health checkups and immunizations, and handle every baby with the utmost care.

When you work with me, you’re not just booking a photographer—you’re getting someone who truly cares. I’m here to answer your questions, calm your nerves, and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way while I create timeless images for your family 🤍
