I know, I KNOW. I’ve been a very naughty blogger, facebooker and general upkeeper of my goings on this year…and a half. Like, really naughty. And, it’s been so long that I couldn’t just post anything without explaining my apparent trip off of the planet. I’ll try and keep it short (I know what you’re thinking if you’ve seen me in person, very funny.)
If you’re not already in the loop, my background is in the film and television industry and the south has been kinda happenin’ with regards to the movies and shows we have filming in the region. So…at the start of 2011 I was called upon to flex my skills in that arena.
And, while it may sound crazy that one would sign up for 18 hour days, tasked with accomplishing the impossible (you don’t realize you did that until it’s over and you say “holy crap, yay us!”), that’s what the business is all about and I kind of love it for that reason. The people (and animals!) you meet, the things you learn (oh, so much random trivia) and the hard-working and talented team that goes through it with you makes it all pretty amazing.
Therefore, when a movie led to a TV pilot, led to a TV show, led to another movie (away from home), I simply couldn’t say no. Along with my adoration for photographing animals, the production business is also my cat’s meow. I’ve been blocking available time for clients whenever my schedule permits and I’ve met so many fabulous four-legged friends this year! But what with the hours and the traveling and the lovely bags under my eyes, it just hasn’t left me ample time to blog and go on the facey-spacey.
Please forgive me for my web absence and know that I feel an obscene amount of guilt (it’s in my genes, I can’t help it.) about it. So, if it seems I’ve disappeared without a trace, I really haven’t. I’m just trying to balance the working and traveling with the decompressing and, if I’m lucky, a little family time here and there. 
Thank you for understanding and continued support!
Rainy is a Boxer/PitBull mix that sees the good in EVERYTHING. I checked all the bones in her body and there’s not a bad one to be found. Remarkable, because her story is this: About 3 1/2 years ago someone dumped her at the vet with injuries sustained from a dog fight. And, there they left her…until someone offered to take her while they found her a home. Her Dad, Eric, was asked to watch her for three months and we all know how those stories end…with a name, a toy, a loving family and a perfectly awesome photo session.
Forrest, my dear, thank you for being everything you are…including patient with the crazy lady with the camera. Your eyes are like Werther’s candy and your soul could light up the world. xoxo
But we had a talk, girl-to-girl, wherein I explained to her that it’s utterly impossible for her to look anything but gorgeous. I showed her a few shots and she agreed. It was on. And she worked it, baby! Providing me with moves and character Heidi Klum would kill for, Rajah made me laugh and click that shutter way too much for my own good.

When I get a call to photograph a trio of Jack Russell Terriers, I know it’s going to be an eventful day. And it was. In the most DELIGHTFUL way! The sun going down was what literally pulled me away from this wonderful family. I could have nuzzled in those snouts for a whole week, what with all the love and kindness provided by these dogs. I’ll begin with Miss Liberty Bell, as it was this little lady that brought me over this day.
She loves her wardrobe…flowers, pearls, bikinis (I know!), she’s a fashion diva and there’s no doubt about it. It’s rare but sometimes you work with dogs who simply adore accessorizing and Liberty was most definitely one of them. I’m not one to make a habit of clothing dogs but I can honestly say, as a true witness, she. loves. it. She is a shining star and as far as personality goes, what most of us only wish to be. Gracious, yet respected. A natural mediator and leader. A heart the knows no limit and a soul without boundaries.
He loves lounging in his lair underneath the coffee table. He misses no opportunity to boss Josie around (and begrudgingly retreats when Liberty sticks up for her). And he likes taking control of the toys unless there’s a lizard within a two-mile radius. Once outdoors he’s on the hunt and he doesn’t kid around.
She’s spunky and sprite, kind and patient. Hang around her and you’ll notice how observant she is too. Her mind just likes to soak things up and learn, closely picking up the ways of the world from her siblings.
A child-like innocence with a wild-hair streak makes her so fun to be around. She’s a social butterfly and not one to hang back but always respects those around her, especially Liberty and Skippy. I adore her. Thank you Geiger family for a wonderful afternoon!
