Klose Up Photography

Hi there, I'm Samantha Klose a Santa Monica Wedding Photographer and I’m so excited you’re here!! I would love to share some fun facts about me! Most days you can find me in comfy yoga pants with a mug of coffee, sitting in front of my computer, hanging with my two ADORABLE dogs, while editing photos. People often refer to me as fun and silly, with a big heart! The things I am most passionate about in life are my beautiful daughter Victoria and my very talented husband Jay (you can find his work under Cinematography). My family is my world, without them, I wouldn’t be the human I am today. They keep me grounded (and on my toes - always)!

My other passions are my two sweet doggies, country music, my friends, coffee, wine, pizza, fries, and of course taking PHOTOS! On a more in-depth level about me, I grew up pretty fast after having my daughter at age 19 and had to raise her on my own. Being a single mom was pretty hard and had me working full time as a Bartender until I could afford to follow my passion in photography. I met some of the best people while working as a Bartender, but was incredibly happy to be able to follow my dream of becoming a Photographer and owning my own business!
