All About Tanya
Tanya Vahrenkamp, CPP, photographs most of our boudoir sessions (although Bill is available for those who are more comfortable with a male photographer). One of the main questions women ask me is how I got into Boudoir photography. My story is a little different than most boudoir photographers in that I actually started with pin-up style vintage photography over 20 years ago and boudoir photography was just a natural progression from that. I am a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) through the Professional Photographers of America so over the years I have tried my hand at almost every type of photography, but nothing is more fun and exciting to me that helping women see how beautiful they truly are.
So, a little about me - I was born and raised in Edmonton, AB Canada and I got my start in photography in the form of a part-time job while I was in University. Little did I know that shortly after graduation, I would scrap my plans for graduate school and continue working for that studio with dreams of owning my own studio someday (which I achieved a few years later). I met my Texas-based husband at a photography convention in Las Vegas and after a short stint of long-distance dating, I decided to take a leap of faith - I packed my bags and moved from the frozen North to the sunny South. That was 18 years ago and while I'm still trying to adapt to the summer heat, I wouldn't change a thing - I love it here.
