Out of town for Cliff Mautner photography workshop, so excited!
Hi All!
I will be out of town from 4.20.09-4.23.09 (I will be checking my email daily). I am attending Cliff Mautner’s workshop in NJ/PA. I am beyond excited about this workshop! There will be a live bridal shoot in downtown Philly! So stay tuned for a post about the workshop and images!
Here’s what people are saying about Cliff Mautner:
American PHOTO Magazine-”one of the top ten wedding photographers in the world”
WPPI- Cliff Mautner is “one of the top photographers and educators in the world”

Also: I have been receiving some wonderful stories for the portrait give-a-way. Please keep them coming and send them to: tbuyce@gmail.com.
And: Here’s a sneak peak from a fun portrait shoot in Saratoga. Have a great week!
Much love,
Tracey

Tell me Reed is not the cutest!
I love, love, love my job… I want to give back the gift of my photography to a family. Everyone should have beautiful photos to document their family and their lives….So please read on and nominate someone who truly deserves the gift of custom photography….
You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish this gift. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.
You know someone. I guarantee it.
I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography — $750. worth, to be exact. It’s in your power to give them the artwork they deserve.
Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a free portrait session! What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?
The rules:
* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services.
* The nominee must reside in New York, within The Capital Region. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.
* You must e-mail me the full story : tbuyce@gmail.com
The winner will be announced on May 15th- get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!
Open your heart to someone….– and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.
Much love,
Tracey
Time to get in shape, boot camp style!
Hi All!
Spring is here!!!! I am getting in shape before wedding season hits next month. I met Monique a few months ago. She is a Holistic Nutritionist and Personal Trainer/ Fitness Consultant. She is also super friendly and knows her stuff!
Monique’s Spring boot camp starts in a few short weeks at The Saratoga State Park. It runs for 8 weeks, 3x per week. I am already signed up! I am looking forward to getting in shape. I am a little scared…but I know it is going to be worth it!
Check out Monique’s blog at:

Or call for more info about boot camp at: 518.312.6309

I love this candid image of Monique…No need to feel intimidated, boot camp is not scary!

Maybe I will be able to jump like this after 8 weeks????? Kaaaa-pow!!!!!
Today marks the 1 year anniversary that I lost my beloved Rudy. Lymphoma cancer took him from me, March 7, 2008. It’s hard to believe he’s been gone a whole year. Rudy was my once in a lifetime dog. My vet, Dr. Clement, told me you only get one. I was incredibly fortunate that mine was Rudy.
Rudy was loyal, lovable, goofy and fun. I learned so much from him. He never got mad if we were stuck in traffic; he simply enjoyed the ride. He was always happy to see me, he would bathe my face with sloppy dog kisses. If I was upset, Rudy didn’t try and fix it or say the right thing, he simply loved. A year and a half ago, Rudy’s very presence helped get me through the death of my mom. He never left my side. I thank Rudy for being such a wonderful part of my life for 14 years. He was pure love. Rudy was and always will be, my best friend.
So this post is a tribute to Rudy’s life and his love!
Rock on Rudy!
My all time favorite picture of Rudy, doing what he loved best, running down the dock to jump in Lake Pleasant…..
Rollin’ with his sis’ Roxy, on there way to Hemlock Trail….

Snoozing at The Lodge after a long day of swimming….He would bake in the sun for hours….

Hemlock Trail, one of his favorite jaunts…
