Hi and welcome! My name is Sam Abdallah and I am the owner & lead photographer of Bright Light Studios!
I have been a photographer for over 20 years! ( I know! I feel old!). I started off going to college and studying graphic design and photography. After graduating I worked in the corporate world as a graphic designer for 6 years and did photography on the side in my free time. After some time I decided to become a full-time photographer and in 2011 I started “Bright Light Studios” and the rest is history!
I specialize in bringing an artistic flare to my photography in order to create some work that you will never forget!
