Client Testimonals
“Samanta is a rare gem. She brings her own creativity and voice to every shoot we do together, while at the same time being so adept at capturing my ideas and helping me to ensure that the objectives of the shoot are met. Collaborating with Sam always makes whatever I started with so much better than I had first imagined. If we run into a challenge, she tackles it head-on with me. If inspiration hits, she rolls with it. Sam understands brand and respects client input and requests, while always placing a high priority on the integrity and beauty of the end result.
On top of her expertise, her talent, and her professionalism, Sam has always been an honest delight to work with over the many long shoot days we’ve spent together. Not only is she a partner and collaborator, I’m so fortunate that over the years, she’s become someone I look forward to seeing and consider to be a friend as well. I highly recommend hiring Samanta – you won’t be disappointed.”

“I loved working with Sam because although it was my very first video production, she made me feel extremely comfortable and fully guided even during pre and post production.
She is fully versed on all the equipment that it will usually take a whole crew to operate. She was able to switch from her camera, video, audio and even drone swiftly without hindering the process.
With her insight and expertise on how to create a cohesive brand, I was able to produce a short but powerful video that delivers my message efficiently.
I hope to work with her in the future again. Besides her cinematographic taste and professional manner, she was also a delightfully fun and easy-going team member.
I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great final product. Save yourself the hassle of dealing with an amateur. She is the real deal and I am looking forward to creating more videos with her”

“I can only recommend Samanta Katz to anyone who is looking for a highly motivated photographer and film maker. Sam is on top of her game. She feels you, understands what you want and need, couples it with her experience and expertise, and even when you feel tired after a long shoot, Sam is the double espresso that you need. So motivated, so good, so creative, so everything!”

“We enjoyed working with Sam, she is so active with coming up with a creative vision and ideas to be able to make photos and videos which really capture our brand and overall feelings. She was very professional and as soon as we met it felt like we’d known each other for years. She’s a balance of friend and professional so you know she has a he project in control in the background so you can relax and just enjoy the time. She was so prompt with getting the products back to us and finishing up the videos in a super timely manner as well as respecting the notes we made along the way. We would highly recommend working with her and look forward to doing more projects with her ourselves!”

“Working with Sam is the BEST decision you can make!
Sam is an absolute joy to work with. A consummate professional, she not only knows how to get the exact right shot, but she immerses herself in the project to help guide, direct and bring your vision to life. Sam’s experience speaks for itself and if you’re at all nervous in front of a camera, she has you covered there too and will help you relax into the entire process. A true visionary and incredible at her craft.”
— Emily Gough coach, podcast speaker, and entrepreneur
“Working with Sam was a dream! I am always hesitant when creators or influencers approach me on social media to create content, I feel like my brand identity is never fully captured. But Sam was able to create multiple videos for me that were completely on brand. She listened to my ideas and also added in her own creativity to projects. Everything just worked so nicely! I would totally recommend working with her. Our ideas worked well together, I feel like she listened to what I was wanting to create but still added your own thoughts into it. Everything just flowed so well. At the time I was looking for content that I personally was unable to create and she were able to provide me with that. She was very easy to work with, and listened to what I wanted. I feel like that’s really hard to come by, especially when you’re connecting through social media. People have their own ways of creating and try to push that aesthetic or idea onto the brand & it doesn’t always resonate.”

“Sam is an incredible photographer and videographer. I loved working with her because she made me feel so comfortable. I was super self conscious initially, but i felt like i was in a safe, creative space with her. She is also very collaborative. She wanted the best for me but was also easily able to voice her opinions when she thought it could be done differently to create a better outcome. Each time I work with Sam, she really helps me to achieve my brand goals by working with me to try different things, locations, angles etc. She listens to what I want and then adds her touch and expertise on top. I would absolutely recommend Sam. Apart from everything I have said above, she is trustworthy, she works really hard to get the best result and I know that when I work with her we will create something magic together.”
