Blog — Samantha Rambo Photography

Wedding and Portrait Photographer based in Albany, Georiga. Available for travel within the US.

All love is special, but occasionally I get the opportunity to whiteness two people who are just made for each other. It’s the kind of love that you know from the moment you meet them, that it’s just a bit extraordinary. I might be showing my age a bit but, does anyone remember the movie “The Little Rascals?” It was the first time I ever hear Michael Bublé sing the song that got stuck in my head till this very day. Some of your may know it!L.O.V.E.
“L...is for the way you LOOK at me”
“O...is for the only ONE I see.”
“V is very, very extraordinary”
“E...is even more than anyone that you adore”
Yup, that song! I’m telling you know that Ansley and Kyle definitely fit this song. They way they look at one another and just see each other’s soul is so very extraordinary . When they walked down the isle they said I do to their best friend.... Ansley + Kyle’s Wedding is featured on the blog! Link is in the bio!

So I am sitting here frantically working to get Ansley + Kyle’s wedding up on the blog. Then this stops me dead in my tracks. If there is one image that sums up their entire wedding. It’s. This. One! They have weathered the storm to get to this point in their relationship. The sun peeking through is the love they have for one another. I cannot wait to share all that I have with everyone. It’s hard to say no to sooooooo many favorites.

VEIL CHOICES//
There are soooooo many veil choices. So what should you pick? If you’re thinking about how it will look in photos a simple flowing veil that is semi long can help create some really dynamic portraits on your wedding day. It will help add more variety to your images. If I’m totally honest I’m a sucker for these cathedral veils being caught in the wind.
If you do plan on doing a flowing veil shot just make sure your veil doesn’t have too much beading on it. If it is too heavy it will not take flight as well. .

BLACK AND WHITE//
Someone asked me if I do black and white photos the other day. I didn’t realize how many of the images I post are in color until now. Most sessions are pretty much done in all color. It’s not that I don’t love black and white images because it has a very special place in my heart, but color just makes my soul sing. 🙌🏻 I want all of you to feel like you can relive each session because we see in color everyday!
However, I will try to post a few more of these photos because they are beautiful and worth sharing.

SATURDAY THINGS//
Yay for Saturday! Usually, that means I am getting ready to head out for a wedding but today is going to be spent snuggling my babies, grabbing lunch with friends and finally spending a little time behind the camera on a collaborative shoot with @becca_inthelight.
It’s really hard for me to stay away from the camera even on my days off. I try to but it somehow magically appears in my hands.

PUPPERS///
I LOVE getting to work with people and their fur babies! Y’all welcome Lindsey + Andrew to the SRP family! We drove down to lovely Tifton, Georgia to the Peach Barn for their engagement session. I had the chance to play with their fur babies and feed them treats. Their babies are just as sweet as they are. ❤️❤️ #srambophoto #albanygaphotographer #tiftongaphotographer #engagementphotos #gaengagementphotographer #gaengagement #furbabies #thepeachbarn #peachbarntiftonga

Impromptu session yesterday with some dear friends I have not seen in a long time. I am so thankful we could visit with them if it was only for an hour or so. They were soo sweet to let me test out this little nugget of a location and I couldn’t resist grabbing a few shots of the kiddos as well. I’m looking forward to catching up with lunch or dinner sometime soon!

MEET BOGEY//
Bogey was a stray that had been abused and abandoned. His scars of emotional abuse have thankfully healed thanks to our support. He heard the laughter of my child and knew he had found his savior. My son was in love and Bogey chose us as his family. He has been a wonderful addition and peace keeper. He's there for us all on the good and bad days. So glad to call him family.

PRINT YO STUFF//
I just wanted to give everyone a peek at a new product available to all of you! These adorable 4x4 brag books are perfect for your coffee table and all occasions to hold all of your favorite images. You don’t have to worry about anything falling out like traditional albums because the images are printed and bound in album.
Let’s face it! We live in a very digital world (which is amazing), but our lives are busy and our images go unseen by our children. It’s their memories too. A study was done that said children who grow up with images in their homes of their families are actually able to remember more about their childhood. Even if you don’t get an adorable album... PRINT YO STUFF and display it somehow for them to see. ❤️❤️ They will love you for it later. .

NEW FIND//
I was browsing through this session again and reliving that precious day when I came across this image. It melts my heart when the babies want to do what I do. ❤️ Wonder if her mama would think it’s weird to print this and hang it in my house? 😂😂 .

LETS GO OUTSIDE//
This business journey has lead my down another path unknowingly to me. I just realized today that I am starting to photograph my kids more and more. KK especially. I am desperate to remember these little times with her, but also sad because A didn’t have images like this when he was growing. Mom guilt is very real. 😂
