Hello there!

My name is Samantha Hazelwood (formerly Franklin, hence “SGF”) and I live in Tryon, North Carolina.

I have a photography degree from Oklahoma State University and have been a professional photographer for over fifteen years. In 2008, I completed an internship with Brion Topolski Photography in Los Angeles, California. He taught me the value of a great bloody mary, perseverance, and crisp, clean editing. 

I primarily shoot portraits, events, some commercial work, and fine art, but am wide open to anything. My passion is to provide warm and inviting photographs that tell a story and utilize the natural beauty of Western North Carolina. Particularly, since I am a mom, I love working with families to provide memories you can cherish with Mom front and center IN the pictures (not just taking them!), with flattering angles and posing.

Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss print pricing or photo shoot requests. I am flexible with pricing and needs of clients and am more than happy to tailor a quote just for you and your needs.
