Hey, friend! I’m Samantha Clarke

Founder of SCP & cO. Photography | photography business coach and mentor | mom | Travel aficionado

I’m a lawyer turned award-winning international photographer. (Yes, you read that right!) I started growing my business,  SCP, while in law school about 17 years ago.

Even after I graduated, passed the bar, and began practicing law, I found myself being drawn more and more to creating lasting memories for my clients through photography. I couldn’t put my camera down, so after five years of juggling multiple passions, I decided to take a leap of faith and continue working as a lawyer but also turn my photography hobby into a real business alongside my fabulous team so I could continue doing what I love the most.

Since starting in 2009, I’ve been blessed to be recognized as one of the best photographers in America by BRIDES Magazine in 2020 and 2021, and I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings and portrait commissions across North America, Europe, and the Caribbean! My Canadian roots always bring me back to Toronto in the spring and summer, while I get to enjoy all that Southern life has to offer.

More than awards and accolades, I’m also a photography business coach, mentor, and educator for creatives who want to enjoy running their photography business while earning a full-time income.

But my biggest life accomplishment of all? Becoming a mother to my son and daughter. My husband Andre of 13 years is my best friend, my number one cheerleader, and helps me appreciate true love. And our son and daughter motivate me every day to pursue this career so I can be a positive role model for them.
