The Spotted Tongue Photography

The 2nd challenge in the Unleashed Education's Embark challenge was "Get down." The goal of this one was to get as low as possible, get those photos from their viewpoint.

Anyone who knows my FastCAT photography or has worked with me for portraits knows I am generally flat out on my belly shooting as low as I can get (and most people know I love "action portraits"!. For this one, I was shooting with the camera almost in the grass (I had to raise it up a bit because the puppy was so small!) and using the screen to be able to set up the shot.

This adorable Beagle puppy was so perfect with her giant flying ears as she ran straight at me.

My photo made the top 10 and I couldn't be more thrilled!

The OKA FastCAT (June 20/21) closes June 6/12. So get those entries in! Day of Show (and fun runs!) will be accepted if the trial doesn't fill. So don't lose your spot! It should be an awesome time. We're at Maxwell Park this time.

The Western Lakes FastCAT (June 27/28) closes TOMORROW (June 9). Have you signed up? If you haven't, it's time!! Late entries may be accepted if the trial is not full, but you'll have to reach out to the secretary for that.

‼️‼️ PHOTOS ARE READY! ‼️‼️

Thank you so much to the awesome folks at the Skyline Agility Club for having me out to photograph their first FastCAT trial. Based on what I saw, this is the first of many!

The photos from the trial are now live on the site and ready for purchase!

A few things to note:

1. Questions about pricing or how to purchase? Check out the "Event Info" page on my website. Purchasing is different (but easier I hope!) on the new website. Every purchase of all hi-res photos of your dog from the trial come with a free collage!

2. All of the photos are lightly edited. But more can be done! If you want a fully post-processed photos, reach out
!
3. I sort all the photos manually so if there's a wrong dog in your folder, let me know. I caught a few as they were going on the site, so hopefully that was it.

4. Any questions? Drop me a message here or send me an e-mail at [email protected]

I want to give a HUGE shout-out to the whole team at the Skyline Agility Club. This past weekend was their very first FastCAT and they absolutely knocked it out of the park!

They kept the lines moving, kept everyone going in and out with great speed. They were friendly to everyone and helpful for all of the new people trying it for the first time (congrats on getting addicted, new people! It's fun!!). They were just fantastic from start to finish.

I felt honored to be able to shoot their first trial and I am so excited at the photos I got. I'm currently editing photos from Saturday (about halfway through) and then I need to go through Sunday's photos. I hope to have them out to you by the end of the weekend but keep an eye out for updates and sneak peeks (coming soon!!).

If you want to be notified by e-mail as soon as the gallery is live on the site, come sign up here! Many of you already have and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that!
