Update

Sorry I haven't posted much in the last month but progress on the new studio has been SLOW! and we have learned a few expensive lessons about hiring contractors!! It's looking like the studio won't be up and running until at least August 15th. We, of course, will still be able to operate "on-location".

Our house renovations probably won't be complete until the end of September. It's been an adventure for sure. One good thing is we have been away every weekend but one taking the boys to their BMX races all over Alberta and BC.

I will leave you with an image of my son winning a gold medal in a BMX race!!

Within the next few days I will be posting two beautiful newborn babies that I shot on location at their homes.

Tanya Rae Photography is on the move!

Well, we are going to be busy for the next few weeks! My studio and my residence is moving to the country! We bought 160 acres just off Nojack Road, it's about a 15 minute drive from Whitecourt. We will once again be renovating a garage (this one is a little bigger) into a studio. I am excited about the endless opportunities for outdoor portrait set ups as well!! Tanya Rae Photography will be CLOSEDas of June 20th and for the month of JULY while we prepare the new studio. We look forward to seeing all of our clients in our new location!! If you are hoping to book for a fall session please call first thing in August as September has already been booking! Have a great July!!

Baby on the way!

I have had so many new mom's lately, which is exciting cause next month will be full of newborn babies!! Jeannine and Daniel were so much fun to work with! Here is a sneak peek for them!

Graduation 2008

Well I apologize to all that have been waiting for me to post about GRAD! Here it is. This year I got to be the proud mom. Friday evening May 30th was the official Graduation ceremony. I wasn't able to take any photos during the ceremony as it was just too dark. My daughter, Jayelle and her long time friend Katie did the thank you to the parents speech. Jayelle dressed in a Marilyn Munroe style dress with her hair in an "old Hollywood" style, she had a lot of compliments. I wish I could have found more time to get some good images of her in that outfit.

The next day was the Grand March and the Prom. Jayelle opted to cut her hair off instead of getting an "updo". I will let the images speak for themselves. Congrats to all the grads!

Tracy

Another new mom to be. Tracy was glowing and adorable! I can't wait to photograph her little one.

Abby, Gayle and Neil

Last week a new family came to visit the studio. I had fun working with 3 year old Abby, Gayle and Neil. Even the furry members of the family got in on the fun!

Terri Clark in concert!

I want to congratulate my friend Susan on her retirement from Dental Hygiene. Right now she is in Las Vegas celebrating!! I couldn't go along because of prior commitments so her and I had our own celebration. She drove all the way from Fort MacMurray to attend an outdoor concert in St. Albert with me. We were entertained by Aaron Pruchett, Johnnie Reid and Terri Clark and it was awesome!! I got some great photographs as we were in the 3rd row!! We are country music fans so we were lovin the 5 hours of music. Note for us next time , bring chairs!! Here are a few images of the show.
