{Family Shoot} W Family | Huntersville, NC | Tish Mackay Photography

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!

{2009 Animal Expo} Founders Hall, Charlotte NC | Tish Mackay Photography

2009 Animal Expo

Founders Hall, Bank of America Corporate Center

“The purpose of the Expo is to give exposure to eight local Animal Welfare organizations, to raise funds for those organizations, to find animals furever homes, and bring awareness to the public of the tremendous pet overpopulation issue and the importance of spaying, neutering, and adopting.” – Allison Smith

I got to the Pet Expo at 10:30am and by 12:30pm, all 300 goodie bags were gone. A huge crowd turned out to support such a great cause, and who’s kidding – - to see all the cute animals.

I had the chance to not only take pictures of the event, but also participate with a table display. I made a little brag book that held about ten pics from recent pet shoots and also handed out cards with attached dog treats.

Overall, the event was a success. Many applications where filled out for the available dogs for adoption and all the money raised was split between the organizations that attended. I had a great time meeting lots of awesome volunteers and also some really nice photographers as well. Can’t wait to see this event grow even more next year.

And the winner is…

Thanks to everyone who entered the Yenithing contest. I asked my husband to pick a number and he said lucky number 7, which is Magda! Congrats Magda. Be on the look out for an email from me real soon.

Here’s a peek of what I got into this past weekend. Hope to post some more pictures from my Cummings, GA adventure later this week.

Good News!

It’s Monday. No, that isn’t the good news. The good news is that Darla, Vinnie and Wally have all been ADOPTED! Doesn’t that just melt your heart? Must be the dog-lover within, but I am over the moon happy to know they have been placed in wonderful homes.

Don’t forget you still have time to enter the Yenithing contest!

Friday Favorite Things

Tish Mackay — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 13:33:35 +0000

This was the fastest week ever. I think I blinked and poof, it’s Friday. So to finish off the week, I thought what would better than a contest? (Well, maybe a big tub of Ben and Jerry’s) My wonderful friend Julie is the creator of this awesome product called Yenithing. It’s a apron that covers you while bathing your pet or even your little ones. Trust me, if you are ever in a bathroom with a baby or dog in a tub full of water, you will get wet. They should put up a warning sign, like they do at amusement parks for the water rides.

So to celebrate Friday, I am giving away a Yenithing.

I really love this product and can’t imagine any home without one. For more information about this product, feel free to visit www.yenithing.com.

{Dogs} Boston Terrier

Tish Mackay — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 19:19:36 +0000

While photographing for Project HALO last weekend, people shopping at Birkdale Village stopped by to visit the adoption area. Some had shopping bags while some came with dog in tow. Here’s a little Boston Terrier that came by to say hello. I think secretly, he was looking for a new fuzzy pal to call brother or sister.

Notice how this little guy pulled his ears back in the second picture. For some reason this breed always reminds me of frogs; must be those killer eyes. Both of these photos were updated with TRA actions. They have a recipe website as well for mixing and matching to give photos a new look. If you have the chance to use these actions, you won’t be disappointed.
