After the meeting, you’ll be a believer, and Tracy returns the following day for a full day workshop to show you how to transform your website and client experience so that all roads lead to in person sales and the purchase of print products. Tracy will start off with an actual session, watch her in action as she photographs and plants the seeds of how the client will enjoy their images. Afterward, she’ll cull the images, revealing tips on how to sell more images and lastly will hold the IPS session in the classroom. If you’ve never done IPS before, this will demystify the process for you, and if you have, you might just pick up a new gem or two!

Bio:

Tracy is a self-described escapee from the corporate world, taking advantage of an early retirement package from an international sales management career at the end of 2013. With her newfound time, she threw herself into a long dormant area of interest, photography. What followed was dozens of classes, workshops and seminars which eventually led to the launch of a portrait studio in Carrollton, Texas. Celebrating its 10^th year in business in 2025, Penny Whistle Photography serves the greater Dallas – Fort Worth metroplex with family, high school senior and pet portraits along with corporate headshots, branding and commercial photography services.

In 2018 Tracy earned her CPP and in 2023 her Master of Photography degree. She’s garnered several medals at the local, state and IPC levels of photographic competition including a Gold Medal in 2021 IPC, a Platinum Medal at Texas PPA in 2022, three Bronze Medals in 2023 IPC , and a Diamond Medal at Dallas PPA. Tracy’s work has also been recognized in several non-PPA juried photographic events, most notably a 3^rd place finish in the international Kennel Club Dog Photographer of the Year in 2019 from among thousands of entries. While she loves portrait photography, documentary imagery is a personal passion, as is a new area of interest – photographing wildlife.

A native of New Hampshire (yep, now you can say you met one), Tracy grew up in Florida with a veritable Dr. Doolittle array of animals; from dogs, cats, goats, and a pony to a pet raccoon. She’s had a lifelong love affair with animals and all her kids have four legs; the current headcount is three dogs, but it tends to change quite often with the comings and goings of foster pets. Coppell, Texas has been her home for the past 29 years.

In her “retirement” (her husband insists on the use of quotations when the words “retirement” and “Tracy” are in the same sentence), and in conjunction with earning her CPP, Tracy also pursued her other passion, dog training, and earned her Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge and Skills Assessed (CPDT-KSA) certification in 2016. She regularly donates her time and talent to several local DFW animal shelters and rescue groups as well as her local chapter of Special Olympics.
