ABOUT GEORGETTE (GEORGE)
I have two dogs, Cody Bear and Pickles, . . . my muses! I adopted Cody Bear when he was a pup from the humane society. Pickles, my new border collie puppy was adopted from arizona border collie rescue when she was just a wee thing. These two keep me very, very busy and make me love and understand dogs more each day.
When I photograph a dog, I want to capture its animality. (kind of like a personality.) I want snaps of his expression that melts your heart and makes you give him that cookie he thinks he has to have. I would love to snap pictures of him playing out of control with his favorite toy, showing off in his back yard or trying to mooch belly rubs.
I have been a professional dog sitter, a volunteer at the local Humane Society, a pet therapy team with cody bear, a pet therapy certification instructor, an assistant trainer with Debora Hogan of Dog Direction, and recently my dogs and I have taken up the sport of agility, which we love. All of these activities have taught me how to read dogs’ body language, ease their stress and help them have a good time at their photography shoot. The dog is always first. If he’s scared, we stop. If he’s too hot or too cold or too nervous we will reschedule.
