Much to our surprise, an email popped up yesterday from Up Country advertising their Up For Stardom photo contest for their 2024 catalog. Whose picture was featured on the ad? It was me, Riley!
Has it been a year already since we found out about the contest and Wen entered a photo of me? It seems as if it was October when we were notified that my photo received the most votes and I had won the contest. Then Wen had to find a pet photographer to do my photo shoot for this year’s catalog, which we ended up doing up on Lookout Mountain on a frigid December day with Kris Phillips of Furever Friends Pet Photography.
The catalog with my pictures finally came out last March and they used one of the catalog photos to advertise this year’s photo contest yesterday in Up Country’s email. What a nice surprise to open their email and see me! The entire process was a memorable experience, thanks to all the wonderful people who voted for me and we are grateful and proud to have participated!
