Coming up next weekend, you'll find me at the SOTC agility trial at Jones Rd. I'll be covering one ring each day. And as a special bonus, I have an awesome second shooter coming to shoot one ring on the weekend (date TBD based on entries).

I can't wait to see everyone!

Thanks again to the always fabulous crew at Max 200 for a really well-run trial! Small but mighty!!

I do my best to get everyone in the right folders, but if you find a different dog in your folder (or see your dog in another folder!), please reach out so I can fix the error.

UPDATE! I have gone through all of day 2's photos. They now just need to be sorted into their dog folders and uploaded. I have a rehearsal tonight (yes, I play music too! lol) and so likely this will be done tomorrow morning. So keep an eye out!

Sneak peek from Sunday!

Another event has been added to my calendar!

I'll be photographing the SOTC agility trial July 11-13. I absolutely love the SOTC folks and shooting there, so can't wait to see you all again!

This time with less snow and less water obstacles! 🤣

I am so excited to share all the photos with everyone at the Max 200 trial. Day 1's photos are all done and sorted. It was a rainy day which may not be so much fun to run but sure was fun to photograph! Check out some of these wet happy dogs having a little agility fun in the rain.

Just back from the awesome trial at Max 200. Such a great group of people. And I appreciate that everyone keeps things moving quickly so the trial gets over fairly early in the day. Small but mighty!

My friend ran my older boy, Ben, today. I'm sure some of you saw his hilarious runs (one of which involved him jumping the fencing to come to me). But it still resulted in some nice photos of his runs.

Don't forget tomorrow is the Max 200 CPE trial! Day of Show entries accepted. I'll be there both days photographing it. Come play CPE! Come for the photos! Hope to see a lot of people there.

I think as a photographer it's really important to support other fantastic photographers in the area. I recently took my dogs to the awesome Oak + Cherry Photography for a studio shoot. Ben was quite the fun little model and I just love these photos! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15zSxoLRC1/

Update #2. The photos are ALL DONE! Keep an eye on the FB page and the site tomorrow morning. I'll be uploading them fairly early in the day I would guess.

For now, a sneak peek of some photos from the afternoon!

I had a great time yesterday at the SOTC Bare Bones Rally-FrEe trial yesterday. I'm about halfway through getting the photos ready to go on the site. Here's a little sneak peek of the morning's photos!

Tomorrow I'm back at SOTC shooting the Bare Bones Rally Fr-Ee trial. This is a sort of hybrid between musical freestyle and rally. So excited to see all the teams working together. I absolutely love the teamwork that goes into these runs!

Hey CNY agility folks. I want to bring to your attention a trial I'm going to be at: the Max 200 CPE trial April 19-20.

That's right....in about a month I'm going to be photographing an OUTSIDE TRIAL. This is a super rare occurrence in these parts (my next outside agility trial is in September). If you've ever wanted outside photos of your dog doing agility, this is a great trial to enter. It tends to be small and the people there are great. They take day of show entries, so you can make the decision last minute to enter as long as you have a CPE number.

The trial is now open if you're interested. See the premium here: https://cpe.dog/event/ag-ny-max-200/

I've updated my events for the year to include one of my favorite events...September's USDAA trial at Shelburne Park. It's a small trial, but so much fun. And I've been doing portraits while there too. SO if you're part of USDAA, come play! It's a beautiful area!

You can see my upcoming events here: https://www.thespottedtongue.com/upcoming-events

Need a photographer for a NY area event? Reach out! I primarily shoot agility, FastCAT/lure coursing, and musical freestyle/Rally-FrEe, but I have also shot dock diving and dryland mushing

Update time! I'm making some good progress on getting through the photos. Everything from Friday and Saturday are now sorted into their folders. I'm going through Sunday's photos now. I hope to be able to start uploading them tomorrow or Friday at the latest!

Here's a sneak peek of Saturday's photos!

I also wanted to share these photos (taken on my cell phone!). This is what the crew at the trial came up with. Each day it got more elaborate as they worked hard to contain the leaks.
