Randy has been interested in photography since 9th grade. After graduating from Mankato State in 1975, his first job was teaching photography at the Cedar Rapids Art Institute in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. While in Iowa, he started his own free-lance photography business, Rural American Graphics: Photography by R.R. Spotts. He moved to Minneapolis in 1977 and has continued his business doing portraits, weddings, commercial and corporate photography. He also works with several stock photo agencies and Hallmark cards. Randy is a member of the Twin Cities Professional Photographers Association and serves on the advisory committee for the ArtsCenter on 7 in Minnetonka. When he is not on a photo-shoot he enjoys cooking, reading, listening to good music and spending time with his granddaughter Kaitlyn.
