{Travel} Cottage Dog |Tish Mackay Photography
August 19, 2010Today I thought I would share one of the family dogs, Max. Max belongs to my in-laws and he’s the most laid back dog ever. He’s a Lab and Dalmatian mix who loves to travel. He spent this past winter in Florida and now he is spending his summer in Parrsboro. Most of the time, napping. He napped in the car for the drive from Lake Wylie, SC all the way to the cottage in Nova Scotia. He even got to meet boarder patrol when my in-laws crossed into Canada. He did great with all of us in and out of the cottage for about a week. As long as you gave him a treat or a walk, he would be your best friend. So here’s Max, the cottage dog.
In my next life, I am requesting to come back as Max. Have fun at the cottage Max and make sure you keep those seagulls in line. See you in October.
Do you ever meet people and you just click with them? It’s that instant “ah ha” moment when you realize you have lots in common? I met Devon at a volunteer event and thought she was one cool chick. Later on that afternoon, Devon’s boyfriend Billy at the time stopped by. You could see they just clicked. They had a routine about themselves and you could tell it was their own secret language. I got an email at the beginning of 2010 from Devon saying that Billy had proposed and I could not be more excited for the couple. Not only did I adore them together, they also had an amazing dog named Bailey who stole the show anytime the camera was up. Together, they make a really fun family and an even more fun engagement shoot. I can’t wait until this wedding in August where I promised Devon that this horrible heat wave we are having will be gone. Let’s hope I can pull through.
{sneak peek} Summer Uptown Dog Session
June 7, 2010Cynthia got a gift certificate for a photo session as a Christmas present. Fast forward to lots of email exchanges, to finally getting a date on the calendar, and an uptown location. Here’s my favorite picture from her session.
{Dog} It wasn’t me | Pet Photographer Charlotte, NC
May 26, 2010Lately, a certain dog in our home has been having issues with manners. One afternoon after running errands, we came home to a certain dog who counter surfed. This certain dog had a buffet laid out on the living room carpet which included a bag of oranges, eight bananas and one bag of chips which had already been consumed. Needless to say, we were sad to think that our once awesome window watcher had turned into a bad dog. So we are looking into some training for our fur monster in hopes that you can teach an old dog new tricks. Crossing fingers and paws!
Even during busy weeks, dogs still need love. Laker is the baby of our family. He’s four years old, 63 lbs. and the biggest lap dog you’ll ever come across. He has lots of nicknames: Lake, Lay-lay, Buddy, Bad Dog and The Lakester. He always wants to cuddle on the couch and could snore you out of a good nights sleep. He also has puppy dreams all.the.time. He loves to try and kiss/lick the neighborhood cats. And he has his own star to prove his coolness.
Laker’s star on his chest was little when he was a puppy and has stretched over time, but never the less, he’s a star in our family.
{dog shoot} Sylvie Grace & Atticus Finch | Charlotte Pet Photographer | Tish Mackay Photography
March 19, 2010From the pre-shoot survey, I could tell that this was going to be a super fun shoot. And from the moment I walked in the door to the moment I left, two pugs proved me right. Meet Sylvie Grace and Atticus Finch.
From their little paws…
to their funny little faces…
Pugs are always fun to photograph. And don’t get me started on their owners. Look at this super cute little family.
And these pugs love the camera.
This is three year old Sylvie Grace. She’s the first pug that joined the family.
Loves people, really smart and a total princess.
And here’s four year old Atticus Finch. He joined the family from a pug rescue group.
He loves eating, playing with his rope toy and snores like it’s his business.
And the two together equal never a dull moment around this house. They get along like peas and carrots.
They love going on walks together.
They even have a piece of art that matches them. It’s made out of legos by Meagan’s husband Eric. How cool…right?
I had a blast hanging out, getting kisses and laughing at all the snorts.

March 15, 2010Have you ever heard a noise that just makes you laugh? This session was filled with snorts and lots of dog kisses.
Here’s a hint to the breed. More to come soon. Oh, and it was double the fun.
Sometimes wrinkles are cute. And on a Monday after a weekend of fun, who doesn’t love these wrinkles?
We recently had a housewarming and Laker, our Boxer, was the hit of the party. He ate ice from the bucket with beers and wine, he sang everyone a song that walked through our door and at the end of the night, he crashed on the couch. Some say wrinkles come from worry, but not for this dog; his come from cuteness.
It didn’t start off well. He came in the house in his little car seat all bundled from the cold afternoon. As soon as I saw his little face, I had to smile. Funny thing is, he began to cry. I was worried I scared him or upset his day, but it was neither. He bounced right back into his happy mood as soon as he was lifted from his seat. All he wanted was to be held.
Hudson joined our family two months ago. He’s such a handsome little boy full of personality.
Oh, and before I forget. Hudson has his very own guard dog – - Lucy. She made sure that I didn’t harm Hudson. Check out her ears.
