Meet The Photographers

The Owner and Lead Photographer

Hi there and welcome!
My name is Samantha Crawford and I opened AOP in 2011.
  
My love for capturing memories began in 2000. I started taking pictures while camping in the Adirondacks, then at family gatherings such as parties and weddings. My aunt believed in me so much that in 2006, she told me I should start my own business, but with college and a few part time jobs already, starting a business was too daunting at the time.

However, after my own wedding in 2010, having trouble finding an affordable., professional photographer and after god closed one chapter in my life(teaching), I started AOP to offer high quality, affordable photography while doing something I am deeply passionate about. I have taken many business and photography courses since then, perfecting my skills and knowledge. I have captured memories at over 170 weddings since opening AOP in 2011 and photographed over 75 couples and families as well. I hope to chat with you!

Some fun facts about me:
 *I'm an only child and I am left handed.
*I love listening to music and dancing; and I love all genres.
*I graduated from OCC in 2008 with a Concentration in Music for voice and piano.
*I enjoy reading, relaxing on a beach, a medium rare steak and roller coasters.
*I love binge watching netflix, drinking hot cocoa, camping and snuggling with my babies.
