Here’s a hint to the breed. More to come soon. Oh, and it was double the fun.

March 12, 2010My brother has always been there for me. At graduations, at my wedding and usually when I call. He loves to introduce me as his witty younger sister. He needed to update his picture for some marketing materials so I asked to help out. I will add I was very lucky to have a funny sister-in-law in the wings that assisted with getting Tomer to smile. Here are a few photos from our session.

{sneak peek} Tomer | Headshot | Tish Mackay Photography
March 5, 2010He’s five years older than me. We hated each other when we were younger, but over the years things changed. He became the person I called when I needed advice or just tips on things technology. He’s the voice of reason, he’s the nutty guy that falls asleep watching TV and he’s my brother. Here’s a peek at his headshot.
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.
Nothing beats the smile of a newborn. They make the sweetest noises from their little sneezes to their giggles. Here’s a peek of Hudson, the newest addition to our family.
Did you see those cute little toes? More to come soon!
{giving back} Wachovia Adoption Event | Project HALO | Charlotte, NC
January 22, 2010Project HALO was out and about yesterday at Wachovia in Uptown Charlotte, NC with some new and familiar furry faces.
Meet Calvin. He’s a senior dog with lots of spunk.
Here’s Hazel. She’s the first Chinese Crescent-Pug mix I have ever met or photographed. She is warm to the touch and loves to near you.
You might remember this dog from some of the Birkdale Village adoption events. Rufus is the best. He loves toys that squeak and lots of head rubs. He’s a lover for sure!
Try and say no to that little face. Cletus, another Chinese Crescent-Pug mix, is all personality and LOVES to cuddle like it is no one’s business.
Cassidy was adopted out last night to a really cute family. Congrats!
Dutchess is another one you might have seen before as well. She is actually the sister of Rufus. She’s a medium sized lab mix, very mellow and great with kids too!
If you are interested in adopting any of these available dogs, please contact Project HALO.
Another adoption event and also a microchip clinic will take place this Saturday January 23rd at Birkdale Village in Huntersville, NC from 11:30am-2:30pm. Hope to see you there!

{engagement} Amber and David | Uptown Charlotte, NC
January 11, 2010Amber reached out asking if I could shoot some engagement pictures for her and David. It would be exactly one year since the past Christmas that David had proposed to her in Uptown Charlotte and they never got proper pictures to remember that day. The holiday season time of the year is really near and dear to my heart, because that is the time of the year three years ago that my husband proposed to me. How could I could not say anything but yes to this shoot request?
Aren’t they so cute together?
This couple is just stunning. There were a couple of moments I gushed over the view finder on my camera when I saw the beautiful images appear.
And David, he is such a nice guy and just as easy on the eyes!
Amber is a great listener and brings a smile to your face if you have a bad day. She’s full of energy; it’s like it bounces off of her and onto anyone within ten feet of her.
Together this couple makes anyone feel right at home. I can’t even begin to tell you how easy they made my job to take their picture – I mean look at them!
Even when I asked them to do their best impression of a Hollywood couple, they just smiled and pulled it off without a flaw.
And the sunset was the perfect time of day to get some really pretty moments.
Thanks guys for a fun afternoon. Good luck on your big day this summer and wishing you lots of wonderful days to come.
{Dog Shoot} Shotgun
November 18, 2009Dana contacted me with a request. She asked how I would feel about sneaking around with her to kidnap her boyfriend’s dog named Shotgun and get some pictures of him as a birthday/Christmas gift. I loved her thoughtfulness so much, that I had to say yes. I joined Dana at an empty house (her boyfriend was out for the rest of the day) and Shotgun, an eleven year-old sweetheart. I fell in love with Shotgun the minute I walked in the door and he greeted me with a lean. The rest of the shoot was filled with treats, a couple of dog kisses and some great sunshine.
I love his face so much. He is such a happy dog and it shows.
Dana shared lots of great stories about Shotgun getting into trouble. My favorite one was when he escaped from the backyard and headed up the street to the shopping center. They said he traveled up the escalator to the surrounding restaurants. People where petting on him and feeding him scraps when he was picked up by Dana’s boyfriend. So this next picture had to be included of him at the fence plotting his next great escape.
I learned a lot about Shotgun during our shoot. He loves to get his back scratched and will stand very still in the same place forever if you do so.
And after running around and making sure the yard was rid of squirrels, we headed inside to Shotgun’s favorite spot; the couch.
I don’t know why, but his surprised face in the next picture just makes me smile.
I have to say that I loved everything about this dog and his awesome personality right down to his paws. 
{sneak peek} Can you keep a secret?
November 16, 2009If you know the dog attached to these legs, you have to promise and keep this sneak peek a secret from his owner. The pictures from this session are a gift for an unsuspecting and lucky owner from his thoughtful girlfriend.
