Downtown Denver Engagement Photography - Justin and Tia






Holy Cow!!! Tia and Justin rocked it. They rocked it in more than one way too. Let's just say that when I met Tia and Justin, I warned them that I am a complete dork and extremely clumsy. I fell twice during the engagement session, and the best part was that they laughed about it. Seriously, Tia, could you be anymore gorgeous? The photos of the two of you are A-W-E-S-O-M-E. Thank you so much for tagging along with all of my crazy photo antics. I can't wait to photograph your reception in May.

Style Shoots

I have really been anxious to do a couple of style shoots. I love style shoots. They are so much fun, not to mention I get the opportunity to hang out with a few of my new favorite people every time I have one. So, hopefully, in the next couple of months I will have some images to post for you of recent style shoots. Since, they are still in the works, everything is top secret. But, I promise to unveil all the details when the style shoot happens.

Whirlwind Week

I have had a crazy busy week, and I have to admit that I absolutely love every minute of it. Last Sunday, I had the opportunity to attend the Colorado Bridal Show as one of the vendors. I met so many incredible brides at the show. During the week, I spent time doing my regular every day managerial stuff for the business. This weekend has been awesome. I have met with four AH-MAZ-ING couples. We got together to discuss their wedding photography and their wedding (my favorite topic). No, seriously, I love hearing about all the details that brides incorporate into their wedding. I am sure you have heard me say it before, but it is as true now as it was then.
The top two reasons I love hearing about the details:
1. I am a creative, yet detail oriented person. I love hearing about all of the beautiful touches the bride is adding to her wedding. I always get so excited to see the complete executed project on the wedding day.
2. It gives me the opportunity to learn more about the bride and groom, their personality, things that are significant to them, and their style.

Why I Love Jasmine Star and My Husband

Ok, so almost anyone in the wedding photography industry knows who Jasmine Star is, and have I mentioned before how fabulous she is? Here are a few of the reasons I love her.
1. She is honest to God - real.
2. She admits her insecurities.
3. Jasmine tells her readers about her flaws and mistakes.
4. She knows how to incorporate beautiful light into her images.
5. She is so encouraging that every follower (sounds like a cult), feels like they know her on a personal level.
6. Jasmine talks really, really fast and so do I!!!
7. She is absolutely a space cadet and gets easily distracted in mid-sentence, much like myself:)

Reasons I love my husband:
1. He works so hard to provide for our family.
2. He makes me a better person.
3. I have never met anyone with a more tender and beautiful heart, even though you wouldn't know it by looking at him.

Funny Side Story: When I was teaching high school, I used to always tell my students that when we were in the kitchen to keep their eyes open on the back door. There are alot of reasons to be careful. So, one day, I knew my husband was stopping by, but forgot to tell my students. One of my students, looks at me and says, "Ahh, Mrs. Randall, there is a really scary guy at the back door." I still giggle about this every time I think of it.

4. He keeps his promises, even though I get impatient waiting for some of them to come to fruition.
5. He might get annoyed or irritated with me, but I never doubt his love. He loves me just the way I am.

Now that everyone feels all warm and fuzzy inside. Check ya later.

Rocky Mountain Bridal Show

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to display my work at the Rocky Mountain Bridal Show as an exhibitor. Thankfully, the bridal show only exists three times a year. It's ALOT of work. I met many amazing brides and grooms that made all of the hard work worth it. I can't wait to hear from you so we can chat about all of the awesome details of your wedding day!

Boulder Engagement Photography - Ryan and Jordan






Jordan and Ryan are a very sweet couple. They brought along their dog, Leo, to the engagement session, which I loved. The best part is that Leo gets very excited if you say "squirrel". For all you movie goers out there, I couldn't help but think of the movie "Up". Jordan and Ryan met through mutual friends. Personally, I can't think of a better way to fall in love. Jordan has this amazing smile that is absolutely contagious, in a good way. Ryan is a complete comedic, and has a wonderful sense of humor. Thank you Jordan and Ryan for allowing me to share such a sunny winter day with you. To see more of their photos, log on to my website at www.samantharandall.smugmug.com and click on engagements.

Best of 2010


I have created a collage of what I consider to be some of the best photos from my weddings in 2010. A husband and wife photography team has some very impressive work. I got the idea to blog about some of my best 2010 photos from them. Enjoy!!!

2011 Resolutions

I am a bit embarrassed to admit that anytime I use the word resolution, it usually relates to me dieting. My dieting for the new year only lasts a couple hours as I am so quick to find a yummy piece of chocolate. Darn my lightning quick speed.
So, perhaps I should really title this post my 2011 Business Goals. However, before I get started, I would like to thank all of my amazing clients for being so awesome to work with. I would also like to thank my clients for making my job the best job in the whole world! Cheers to you, my clients!!!

Below, are just a few of the things I would like to see happen with Samantha Randall Photography in 2011.

1. Build even more great relationships with my clients.

2. Photograph in new locations.

3. Have my photos published.

4. Enter a photo competition.

5. Attend more workshops and seminars.

6. Have even more FUN than in 2010.

Here's to an exciting NEW YEAR!!!
