^{“Samantha Hearn cut her teeth in the news world, telling stories as both a writer and a photographer, but she became restless with the stark style she’d developed. Now her work bursts with life and emotion, retaining a storytelling quality but enhancing it with a more illustrative visual style. Most of her work takes place outside the studio, where she finds lively backdrops dripping with atmosphere, then allows models to push the limits, to avoid playing it safe. The result is fashion sessions that are creative enough to firmly position her among the best Nashville fashion photographers.”}
