Hi All!
As most of you know I love animals, dogs in particular. On Monday, I submitted a CD of dog images to Dog Fancy magazine. I knew it could be months before I heard anything back or I may never hear anything. This is how it works with photo submissions. But, I figured it was worth a chance. Imagine my surprise and elation when I received an email from the Assistant Editor yesterday! Dog Fancy magazine asked me to be an ongoing contributing photographer!!! Ya–hooooo!!!!!
I could not be more thrilled, surprised, happy, overwhelmed and ecstatic.
As my mother-in-law Miriam said when I told her the news: “Your love for animals and photography have joined together.” Followed with a “that’s wonderful news dear.”
So to celebrate, I am taking 10% off dog portrait shoots for the month of August, just mention this blog post!
Cheers!
Tracey
I leave you with this image of my girls, Roxy and Cassidy Ann, chillin’ on the dock at The Lodge….Roxy looks ridiculous, what a dork!
Every summer for as long as I can remember, my family has spent our summers at our lodge in Lake Pleasant, NY. The lodge itself is over 100 years old and it’s filled with taxidermy, including an owl dangling from the ceiling with a once innocent squirrel clutched in it’s talons. When I was little, I would run past the owl in fear, now it’s just creepy. There is also a African spider monkey, I fondly named Marty the Monkey. I know, how did an African spider monkey find his way into an Adirondack lodge!
The few free weekends I have each summer, Pete and I load up the dogs and head to the lodge. We absolutely love the lodge……
So Happy 4th of July!!!!
Make a photographer’s day and leave a comment or two…….
Super Roxy!
A little shake!
This is our family’s lodge, Pete prepares Roxy for take off!
An outtake, the ball fell a little short!
The very beautiful Shawna, not so much a dock jumper, but more of a fisherman. That’s right, Shawna loves to fish!
My cousin Tucker, he totally committed!
His brother Tyler, again total commitment!
Their buddy, Henry!
Cassidy Ann, not much of a swimmer……She sure is cute though!
Notice Cassidy Ann getting ready to nimble on the boy’s ankle…
One more of Tucker, because he looks so care fee!
