Samantha Rafferty

Samantha is truly amazing at what she does! We did our maternity and newborn shoot with her and our photos were even better than we could have hoped.

Samantha was extremely flexible about both shoots. Being from So Cal, we wanted an outdoor beach vibe for our maternity shoot but were obviously far from the beach in Charlotte so Samantha made recommendations for lake beach locations and made sure our shoot still had that beachy feel! She also had gorgeous loaner dresses she made available for our shoot (including the golden sparkle one pictured) and made both my husband and I feel so comfortable and at ease (even with me walking around half naked with my belly hanging out at a public beach lol).

For our newborn shoot, we had props we wanted to incorporate to also give it that beachy feel and Samantha not only incorporated the props but she ensured we got multiple poses with them and felt good about all of the poses we got before we ever left the studio. Speaking of her studio, it is awesome! She has so many props, fabrics and backdrops in addition to heaters and shushers for baby. Samantha was also phenomenal with our baby! She was gentle, soothing and got him to pose so easily. I was impressed to say the least! I highly recommend Samantha to capture your milestone moments, you won’t regret it .

We had an incredible experience with Samantha! Capturing precious moments with a baby can be challenging, but she made it feel effortless. She is so patient, gentle, and attentive to every little detail, making sure our baby was comfortable and happy throughout the session. The results were nothing short of magical—each photo beautifully captured our baby’s personality and precious expressions. The lighting, angles, and even the little props all came together perfectly. We’ll cherish these photos forever. Highly recommend Two Little Monkeys for anyone looking for beautiful, timeless memories of their little one!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Samantha from Two Little Monkeys Photography for our second family portrait session, and once again, she absolutely exceeded our expectations! Our first session with her was back in 2021, and we were so thrilled with those photos that we couldn’t wait to work with her again. Samantha has such a friendly, warm personality that puts everyone at ease, and it really shows in her work. She has this incredible ability to capture the true essence of our family.

Samantha is not only professional but also efficient, balancing her warm demeanor with an impressive attention to detail. She scoped out a beautiful spot on a local greenway for our shoot, making the most of natural lighting and scenery to bring out the best in each shot. Her demeanor is one of the things we truly appreciate which made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable.

Most importantly, her photos are just stunning! Samantha’s eye for composition, color, and timing is spot on, and she has a knack for making everyone look their best—even our little ones, who are often on the move. Her photos feel like more than just pictures; they’re cherished memories that we’ll look back on for years.

If you’re looking for someone who combines skill, professionalism, and a warm, friendly approach, we highly recommend Samantha at Two Little Monkeys Photography for all your photography needs. She has become our go-to photographer, and we’re already looking forward to our next session with her!

Samantha did a wonderful job at capturing one of the most special times in our life! She was so easy to work with and definitely made me feel at ease and beautiful during our shoot! We received our photos back today and we are absolutely obsessed. With that being said, we are beyond happy we bundled our maternity and newborn session- without a doubt I know our next session will be just as amazing! I cannot stop staring at our current pictures?.

We had the best experience with Samantha! This was our first sessions in a studio as a family and she over delivered on the quality and shots. She was able to capture every bit of our families personality and so many moments that we can relive every time we look at the images. She was extremely easy to work with, always made sure she got the shot and got it timely, especially working with our two year old and newborn. Every image I had in mind she made sure to bring it to life and make it better than my example. Great variety of gowns and props to capture all the best moments. Can’t recommend her enough for maternity and newborn photos in studio.

We have used Samantha for milestone, maternity, and newborn photos for the past 2 years. I cannot express how amazing she is as a person and as a professional. She is so patient and truly enjoys what she does. She is great at getting all the right poses and editing the pictures to perfection producing a one of a kind product. For our 1 year old milestone photoshoot we walked out saying the best part was that our little one had a blast and Samantha brought out the best in them. From that day, she's become our go to photographer. My dream maternity photoshoot became a reality recently. Samantha turned me into an Angel! She isn't just taking pictures she is helping to preserve a memory in time and you can see that she takes that job seriously. Highly, highly recommend!
