Hello and welcome to the blog! I am Dana Mackay (also known as Tish) and I'm a wedding and pet photographer in Charlotte, North Carolina.
I’ve been trying to catch up in between sessions and this sneak is a long time coming. I promise to keep posting sneaks and also hopefully get to post some longer blog posts soon. But for now:
I fell in love with the car they rented and so here’s another one of the couple, at the church, right after they exchanged vows.
Congrats to Charlie and Laura Beth. I am so excited and happy to have been a part of your big day!
Last weekend, I had the opportunity to shoot for Project HALO Santa pictures at South Park in Charlotte, NC. I saw lots of shoppers, some really cute kids and a regular named Charlie. You might remember Charlie from a post back this summer at a Project HALO aadoption event. Charlie came to get his pictures with Santa along with his new mom. I was so excited to see him so happy running up the path to jump into Santa’s lap for his Christmas picture.
Did I mention that his Christmas sweater was almost as cute as him? Nothing makes my holiday brighter more than to see a dog in a forever home. Thank you to everyone who has adopted a furry friend this past year. :)

And this Chaos just happens to be really cute and lovable. See the sneak below from our shoot in uptown Charlotte, NC.
More from this shoot and a few others soon!
p.s. Happy Holidays!
Sorry in advance for a short post with only one picture, but I had to get Baxter’s mug up on the blog. He was one of the many dogs I met today shooting for an event benefiting Project Halo. Thanks to everyone who came out to support a great organization. I hope to get to show off the other amazing pups soon and even an appearance from Santa.
The W Family is amazing. They are all kind, polite and super smart; plus they have three dogs that I said I would kidnap in a heartbeat for being such sweethearts.
Meet Jody and Chris plus the pups – Chloe, Barkley and Doc (left to right):
And here’s Blaine (8) and Tyler (12).
This family are huge dog lover (which makes me love this family even more). All of the W family dogs have been adopted from different rescue groups. They are also the best dogs to photograph. I think they stood or sat still for most of the pictures without any complaints.
And check out the men of this family. One word: Handsome.
Last but not least is the whole family all together with the dogs. We shot most of these pictures near a golf course and when Chris said Jody’s dad is a huge golfer, we jumped at the chance to get a shot on the green.
Thanks W Family for letting me spend some time with you and shooting your upcoming Christmas card. Have a super holiday season!
p.s. Tish Mackay Photography will be at Birkdale Village at Bella Ropa this Saturday from 11am-2pm taking pictures with Santa to benefit Project HALO.
Hope to see you there!
