Tahnee & Michael
To some of you, Tahnee may look a little familiar. It could very well be because last year I photographed her identical twin sisters wedding in Inverell. Make sure you check out her sister Maddie’s photos - Engagement /// Wedding /// Baby Jett As soon as Tahnee got engaged, I received a call asking me what dates are available and they worked around me. It’s such an amazing compliment when that happens.
Tahnee & Michael’s love grew through Texting! They tell me they got to know each other from working at McDonalds and would send lots of text messages to each other. To say that these guys are a little shy would be an understatement, but to say that they were cute would also be an understatement. Texting perhaps was a great way to get to know each other!
Side note: I remember getting my first phone, in year 11. All my “friends” would tell me that there’s no point getting one as who would want to contact me apart from my mum. They were completely right! But I love my mum so I guess that was ok!
I actually did this shoot over a month ago just before I left Australia for Canada. As a reminder for those of you that are new around here, I am in Canada until late August.
Ok, so an update on what’s going on here:
1. I forgot to post about it, but I decided to rent a car. I got a PT cruiser, the same as my mum’s, except newer, a 2008 model. I put a deposit down on a car, and have continually tried to get my money back ($500) but they keep telling me they will call me back and never will. I’m planning on doing an apple release style sit in. I plan on just sitting in their office till they actually sort the issue out (or at least let me speak to the boss). I will definitely video it and put it on the blog. I think it will be quite funny.
2. Lauren got her hair cut. I was rather sad to see the long hair go, but oh man she looks adorable. Yes, I will take pictures and share them on here.
3. Can anyone help me with some strategies on keeping up with email? I seriously suck at it, and as for all the new enquiries that come in.. I just can’t keep on top of them.
4. I have a few shoots that I will be sharing with you soon. Firstly, one will be a family portrait over here in Calgary, but with a bit of a cool twist! Second is of the wedding where you saw the photo of me sitting in the boat editing photos.
5. I’ve been noticing that a few photogs have been linking to me on their blogs. If you do, which I really hope you do, let me know and I’ll find an excuse to link back to every single one of you!
6. The amount of people reading this blog seems to have hopped, skipped and jumped over the amount I was getting before coming to Canada. So far this month, the website has had 6500 visitors. I know I’m no competition for Jessica Claire who gets that almost daily, I am still pretty happy.
Thank you for tuning in again folks! Thanks for your time reading this, and don’t forget to leave a comment!

Fiona - I remember when I was getting 13 hits a day and I was absolutely stoked!
S: Can’t wait for your help.. because you know how I suck at email.
Jenny: What’s wrong with building a little anticipation? I’m kinda glad that people get antsy when I don’t post.. it shows me that I’ve got something they want to see!
Tim: Let’s hope I don’t get sued for something over this video…
All: Off to shoot a wedding in Banff Springs! Holy Maccaroni!
