An Agility Dog Life
Tucker started his online journey many years ago under the blog name "An Agility Dog Life". He was an athlete in his younger years, and I posted the trials of his career as an agility superstar for as long as he could run it. Unfortunately, at a very young age, his ACL tore. And tore again. And he retired. However, I attribute our years in agility, his ability to make me, a very shy and reserved person, stand up in front of a crowd and smile and have fun, to our incredible bond.
The Photography Life
Tucker retired and began following my career path as a photographer and writer. He has been the subject of all my creative ideas. He tests out props, he helps me learn my camera, and he does so with a smile on his face. There is nothing Tucker enjoys more than being in the spotlight. Or perhaps he just enjoys seeing me happy.
Tucker is well known for his always happy face. No matter the props I put on him or the places I have him pose, he smiles. He loves life and will put a smile on the people's faces who support this venture of getting his calendar and prints out there in the world. I not only want people to be happy, but I want Tucker to be a permanent fixture in people's lives. No matter how many years pass people can look at his photos and smile. His happiness, I believe, will be contagious so long as he is remembered, which I know will be forever for me.
We have battled many trials together, and I want this one to be a fun venture for the two of us. This is the gathering of all we have done together in the years we've been a photography team. Whether you order a calendar or prints, or perhaps both, you'll be supporting our team and helping us continue our journey together.
What You Get
Depending on what you pledge, you can get all kinds of fun Tucker goodies!
Examples of products will be uploaded as I get them in stock!
Traditional Calendar - You will receive a 12-month calendar with 12 beautiful and happy photographs of Tucker. Each will reflect the month to a certain degree by coinciding with the time of year, or holidays present during that month. Calendars are 8x11" and are spiral bound. The Traditional Calendar features a mix of costumed and "naked" Tucker photos.
Costumed Calendar - Looking for a calendar featuring only costumed photos? Look no further! New this year is a calendar full of only costumed pics designed for those who enjoy the quirky and fun personality of Tucker's modeling career! Calendars are 8x11" and are spiral bound.
"Pawtographed" Prints - Tucker will be signing prints for those lucky enough to nab one of those slots! Prints will be completely random and unrelated to holidays so they can be used year-round if you wish to display them. Paw print will be a pet-safe paint print of one of Tucker's paws. It will appear somewhere on the photograph that does not interfere visually with the photograph (generally the bottom right).
Tucker Painting - NEW this year! Tucker will be making paintings out of a pre-cut stencil of himself!
Regular Prints - If you buy one of the print packages, you will receive a variety of high-quality prints according to what the description says. Prints will be RANDOM and may include holiday images (though not all will be, by any means!)
The Impact
Where Does the Money Go?
Printing is a huge cost. In order to make printing prices go down, we need to buy calendars in bulk. This requires people pledging to purchase calendars in advance of them being printed. Additionally, the time that will go into making the calendar, making the prints, and all the time that has went forward to making the photographs, of course, is of value.
Consider this: an average photo shoot lasts 30 minutes. An average photo shoot varies in price depending on props, which can average around $1.00-$20.00 each. This adds up, and of course, I'm glad to do it since these are memories I am making with my amazing dog. However, it is an expensive hobby and I'd love to expand on it! Additionally, editing photos generally takes 5+ hours. Now you can see the love that goes into each photograph I take of Tucker.
After printing and shipping costs, proceeds will go to furthering our photography venture through the purchase of props, toys, and anything else that makes Tucker smile! By supporting this product you will be supporting my photography career, but more importantly, Tucker's happiness! I'd love nothing more than to show him opening up goodies for months to come after this project is complete, and you'll all get to see it via social media! Isn't that exciting?
**For those who have expressed interest in shelter donations being made via this venture in the past: Please be aware I have spent countless hours donating my photography skills to shelters, and in the future (one we do not want to think about), his props will be donated to shelter photography shoots to help promote shelter animals. Due to the risk of disease spread, I am not currently photographing for dog shelters as Tucker's health is not at its best. This will resume in the future, and I do volunteer time with a local horse rescue. This venture is solely about Tucker and I assure you I do many noble causes on the side :)
Risks & Challenges
We may not reach our goal, which has been set to allow me to properly print & ship products. Without this goal, calendars would cost people around $30.00 each, which I want to avoid charging. By funding this campaign I hope to allow more people to obtain calendars, and perhaps some other Tucker goodies! Some other challenges to keep in mind:
Printing and shipping takes time. I hope to have calendars out to people by January. If we have reached our goal early I will get calendars ready to be printed immediately to help prevent delays.
I appreciate any understandings for delays or snags in the road. I will do my best to supply you, my backers, with high-quality products to my best ability in a reasonable time.
