Our Story

More Than Photos — A Lifelong Memory

Sam Orlanes Creative Studio began in 2016 from a simple but profound belief: the earliest moments of a child's life deserve to be preserved with artistry, care, and deep intentionality. What started as a passion project has grown into Cebu's most trusted name in newborn and family photography.

We are Sam and Marge — a husband-and-wife creative team who have photographed thousands of families across Cebu. Sam leads every session behind the lens, while Marge brings each image to its finished form through thoughtful, warm editing. Together, we create a complete artistic vision.

Our sessions are never rushed, never forced. We follow the baby's lead, work with natural light whenever possible, and create an experience that feels as beautiful as the photographs it produces. Every family deserves images they will return to for a lifetime.

Newborn Session

I was so hesitant about a maternity session — I felt too tired and unsure. Sam and Marge made me feel completely at ease. The images are the most beautiful photos I have ever had taken. Don't wait like I almost did.

The dimsum-themed session was beyond our expectations! They brought our creative concept to life perfectly. Sam is incredibly patient and professional, and Marge's editing is just stunning. We are so happy we chose them.
