Welcome to our new - & return - clients & subscribers!
Whatever the season, the business of web design & photography doesn't stop - nor does the news of our clients and friends . . .
But it can slow down in the summer as people get out of their busy groove to kickback and relax. And that's great!
We're excited LuckyDuck Photography is going mobile! See details below.
Elder-zone, our online magazine, will be updated July 22 - with a full collection of new stories as well as a photo page of the recent U2 concert in Moncton, New Brunswick - the last stop of their two year tour.
Comments on any of our projects and story ideas are always welcome.
As are enquiries about our services - email Jodie or Allan
Or call 902-766-4548.

 Charles Lantz Cabinetry - Optimum use of a small space! |
|
Perfect year round get-away!
SOUTH SHORE - ""My daughter's partner was in the business and knew of Charles," Donna Rippey recalls. "He has a really good reputation. I spoke with him, he had some really good ideas . . . this was the fellow I wanted to go with."

Donna loves the feature shown above. The stainless steel countertop gadget houses a hidden container for collecting compostables. A built-in handle makes it easily lifted for emptying.

Applause for CLC: "Whatever you want, that's what you get from Charles and his crew," says Donna Rippey.

One: By 2013, estimates put the combined number of smart phones and other browser-equipped phones at about 1.82 billion. That's more than the estimated 1.7 billion personal computers (Build mobile websites and apps for smart devices).
Two: According to StatCounter, the mobile share of overall browsing sits at 4.36%. That figure may seem small, but it's a 430% increase over the last two years.
Three: We're never going to spend less time on mobile devices than we do now.
That's why: Lucky's going mobile!

See how you - and whatever makes your world go round - can go mobile!

NOVA SCOTIA - Charles and Valerie Cook were home on vacation, taking a break from their current place of work-and-residence, Trinidad.
Every summer they invite family, friends and neighbours to join them in celebrating their daughters' birthdays.
They called on LuckyDuck Photography to capture the day. They wanted only one "official" photo that afternoon - of the entire group. The rest to be candids. A fun time was had by all - including the photographer!
More - Visit our Birthday Beach Party!
Applause for LuckyDuck - "We are extremely pleased with the photographs of the girls' Birthday Party. Jodie conducted herself in a very discreet manner, we barely knew she was there! She gave us the photographic coverage we were looking for and provided speedy processing service after the party. Thanks again Jodie!"
