Angel Samples is a nationally and internationally award winning photographer, makeup artist, and business owner in Greenville, South Carolina.  At the age of 18 Angel was a model working independently as well as a contracted model with About Face Models modeling agency where she worked various jobs throughout the United States.  It was through her experience with modeling where she found her passion for hair and makeup.  In 2011, she attended cosmetology school.  After attending school, she fell in love with photography, perhaps by happenstance, while helping a friend.  There, finding one of her greatest passions and chosen career, photography. In 2013, she opened a 1500 sq ft photography studio that provided hair, makeup and photography in downtown Greenville, S.C.  But Angel's career aspirations did not stop there.  In November of 2014, Angel expanded her photography business moving into a 3500sq ft building in beautiful downtown Easley.  With her expansion another dream of Angels was created, Angel Studios Boutique.  Through Angel Studios Boutique Angel was able to share her passion for style by offering some of the latest and greatest fashion trends for pageant girls. After the birth of her daughter in 2017, she made the decision to close her boutique and focus on creating her own full line of costmetics. She finished her makeup line in December of 2019 and now offers it in studio and online on AngelSamples.com

 During the 2020 pandemic, Angel started a complete build of a new studio that she designed. She accomplished a big dream of hers when she finished that build in the summer of 2021. She looks forward to sharing her personal space with all of her clients to come.
