Chicago through my lens. 📍🏙️

Between the architecture, the movement, the people and the energy of the city, I had to make time to capture a little of what caught my eye.

Just me, my camera, and a few moments from the Windy City. 🎥✨

Found another Richmond spot worth putting on the list. 👀🍜

Stopped by My Noodle & Bar and really enjoyed the experience, from the atmosphere to the food, everything made for a good night.

Good food, great presentation, and definitely the kind of place that makes you want to pull the camera out. 😂📸

Exploring more of Richmond one experience at a time.

Honoring the people shaping the culture. 🏆✨

An incredible evening at The Culture Honors Awards Gala, celebrating the creatives, entrepreneurs, leaders, and community builders who continue to move Richmond forward.

There’s something special about documenting rooms like this, the people, the connections, the FASHIONNNN, the energy, and the moments that deserve to be remembered.

Congratulations to everyone who was recognized, and much respect to Culture Collective for continuing to create spaces that celebrate and strengthen the community.

Chicago in the background. Purpose in the foreground. 🌆

Walking the vision for what comes next.

Concrete, steel, and a little Senegalese flavor. 🇸🇳🔝

Your wedding day happens once. The memories should last forever. 🤍📸🤍

I had the privilege of documenting this beautiful wedding surrounded by family, friends, love, laughter, and so many genuine moments.

What I love about wedding photography is that it’s not only about the portraits. It’s the hands held during the ceremony, the emotions, the embraces, the family gathered together, and those little moments happening when nobody realizes the camera is there.

Those are the photographs that become part of a family’s story. 🤍

Congratulations to the newlyweds, and thank you for trusting Samate’s Pixel Studio to capture such an important day. 💍

Planning your wedding? I’m currently accepting wedding photography inquiries in the DMV and beyond.

💌 DM me “WEDDING” to talk about your day and check availability.

AFROFEST 2026 🌍📸

It was truly an honor to be trusted by the African Community Network (ACN) to capture their biggest annual event. 🙏🏾📸

What a celebration of Africa, culture, community, and the diaspora right here in Richmond! 🇺🇸🌍

African countries from across the continent were represented alongside our Caribbean and African American communities, bringing together culture, music, fashion, food, art, and people from all walks of life.

With the Lieutenant Governor of Virginia @ltgovhashmi , the Mayor of Richmond @dannyavula @rvamayorsoffice , community leaders, artists, entrepreneurs, families, and so many others in attendance, AfroFest once again showed why it is one of Richmond’s biggest celebrations of African culture.

So many beautiful moments. So many cultures. One community.

We are thankful to the ACN President, Zakaria Konaté.

This is AfroFest. ❤️🌍
