Samantha Ozment is a wife and devoted mother of two energetic boys whose roots trace back to Oregon. When new business horizons beckoned, Samantha and her extended family packed up and made the move to Ohio—ready to grow together and seize opportunities for everyone.
Samantha’s heart has always belonged to creative expression, especially photography. For years, she lovingly set her camera aside to embrace the bustling life of a stay-at-home mom—savoring every moment of her sons’ early years. Now, as the boys begin school, Samantha has happily returned to her artistic calling.
With a keen eye for detail and a natural flair for storytelling through images and video, she’s stepped back into photography and social media production with enthusiasm and purpose. Samantha is a powerhouse of creativity. She honed her sense of aesthetics and event production growing up in a family of entrepreneurs on her mother’s side—part of a vibrant network of imaginative, go-getting relatives. Early on, she learned to bring ideas to life, helping to plan and run events from inception right through to closing.
Today, Samantha blends her passion with her family-first values, channeling her creativity into capturing life’s moments and shaping engaging stories across digital platforms. She thrives at the intersection of artistry, family, and community—celebrating life, creativity, and connection one photograph and social media post at a time.
