www.SHPstudio.com Hi everyone and thank you for checking out my page! I wear all the hats here at SHP Studio.
(626)

I am Samantha, owner, and operator of SHP Studio/Samantha Harter Photography. I love being a professional photographer and trying to make every photo shoot a personal experience, not just another photoshoot. I typically have an assistant to help me set up/take down photoshoots but the rest is on me. I am the web designer, accountant, innovator, planner, secretary, janitor, and oh yeah I do take photos, edit and upload all the amazing photoshoots I get to do for everyone. I look forward to meeting all of my new clients and continuing to see all of my amazing existing clients! Please keep in mind to actually read our disclaimers and forums we have you fill out at checkout or after you book your photoshoot. They state all of the important information about your shoot. Which makes my job a lot easier and helps both you and I prepare for your shoot. We also ask you to be kind and patient with us with any questions or concerns you may have. I try to be as timely as possible to get back with calls, texts, and messages but I am only one person. I can't wait to see everyone at SHP Studio in the future! Schedule Appointment & Pricing

๐ŸŽ… Christmas Magic Is Coming to SHPstudio! ๐ŸŽ„

Christmas is almost here, and SHPstudioโ€™s Christmas season officially begins November 1st! ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ…โœจ

I want to give everyone a heads-up about scheduling this year because ALL Santa Sessions and regular Christmas Minis will be photographed during the month of NOVEMBER ONLY.

If you want Christmas photos at our regular mini-session pricing, November is the time to book!

๐ŸŽ… SANTA SESSIONS

Santa will be visiting SHPstudio throughout November! We have several different Santa experiences and setups available, with options for different budgets.

Some dates already have waitlists, and weekend availability is VERY limited.

If you donโ€™t see the time or date you need, CHECK BACK DAILY! Cancellations, reschedules, and additional openings may become available as we get closer.

๐ŸŽ„ REGULAR CHRISTMAS MINIS โ€” NO SANTA

Not looking for Santa? No problem!

Our regular Christmas Minis are perfect for kids, siblings, families, couples, Christmas cards, and anyone who simply wants updated holiday photos.

These sessions will also be photographed during November only at the advertised Christmas Mini pricing.

โš ๏ธ IMPORTANT DECEMBER INFORMATION

I will NOT be offering regular Christmas Mini Sessions in December.

If you wait until December and would still like Christmas photos, they will be booked as a regular studio session and priced PER BACKDROP.

December pricing will be higher than the November Christmas Mini pricing.

If you know you want Christmas photos this year, please donโ€™t wait until December to schedule!

โค๏ธ A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER

โ€ข Santa & Christmas Mini pricing is for NOVEMBER
โ€ข December Christmas sessions will have increased pricing
โ€ข December sessions will be priced PER BACKDROP
โ€ข Weekend availability is extremely limited
โ€ข Dates and times can open up from cancellations or reschedules
โ€ข CHECK THE BOOKING SITE DAILY if the spot you want is currently unavailable!

Christmas season is one of my absolute favorite times at SHPstudio, and I cannot wait to see all of my returning families and meet some new ones this year! ๐ŸŽ„โค๏ธ

Thank you for continuing to support my small business and trusting me with your familyโ€™s Christmas memories year after year.

DONโ€™T WAIT โ€” BOOK YOUR NOVEMBER CHRISTMAS SESSION! ๐ŸŽ…๐ŸŽ„

Do you have $5.00 to spare?

Hi! Iโ€™m reaching out to a few local businesses and people in hopes of getting our Cecil County community behind a cause that means so much to our family. ๐Ÿ’™

Our daughter, Luci, is a Cecil County resident who suffered a severe brain injury at birth. Since then, Nemours Childrenโ€™s Hospital has become a huge part of our lives. Luci has been going to Nemours as often as three days a week since birth, and we have spent countless hours in their therapy department working toward milestones many families never have to think twice about.

This Sunday, our family is participating in the Run for Nemours, and our team has set a goal of raising $5,000, with the proceeds from our team going directly to the therapy department that has played such an important role in Luciโ€™s life.

We would be incredibly grateful if your business would consider making a tax-deductible donation toward our team goal. Any amount helps us give back to the department that has given so much to Luci and other children like her. ๐Ÿ’™

Donate here:
secure.qgiv.com/event/2nchwrdv/team/1044567 (https://secure.qgiv.com/event/2nchwrdv/team/1044567/)

Thank you for supporting a local Cecil County family and the amazing children and therapists at Nemours! ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ’™ Would you or your company like to support a tax-deductible charity while making a difference for children and families?

This Sunday, our family will be Running for Nemours Childrenโ€™s Hospital! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

Nemours is so much more than a hospital to families like ours. Itโ€™s a place filled with incredible doctors, therapists, nurses, specialists, and staff who care for children through some of the biggest challenges of their lives.

We would LOVE to have our friends, family, local businesses, and companies help support our team! Whether itโ€™s $5, $25, $100, or a company donation โ€” every contribution helps support the children and families who rely on Nemours.

If your business is looking for a wonderful cause to give back to, please consider donating to our team. ๐Ÿ’™
