Hello folks -

I am heartbroken to have to share that on February 4th, my sweet, special boy Maverick had his final vet visit.

Me & him had been fighting his lymphoma for just over a year and were absolutely blessed with the gift of few of any side effects from his chemo therapy. He had a lovely couple of months of true remission from June - August where we made a couple of extended trips to Canada to spend time with dear friends and where he could swim, hike off leash, play with many friends and pretend that he was a farm dog.

Unfortunately, after finishing his second round of a modified 16 week C.H.O.P. protocol in early Jan, along with a scary adverse reaction to elspar - there were few treatment options left for my best guy. The one we went forward with did not seem to impact his lymphoma like I had hoped. Between the changes in his behavior due to the Prednisone he started while on it, along with the lymphoma progression and the way it was beginning to impact his quality of life I stuck to the extremely difficult choice to call it as soon as I felt he was starting to show discomfort. There was no path forward that would have made him more comfortable, or have improved his situation.

I've been full of grief as you can imagine. Maverick is not only my absolute heart dog, but he's also the fourth and last remaining pet I've lost to sudden illness since Nov 2022. (Zetes 5 yrs - Glomerulonephritis, Everett 11 yrs - Intestinal Lymphoma, Diesel 12 yrs - CKD)

I'm grieving him and so much more but in between I try to make progress on my Westminster photos. I think they will bring a little bit of light to what is a very dark time for me right now 💔

Look who I found!Probably should have asked for an autograph 🫣😝

This ended up being a bit longer than I meant for it to be - because genuinely I'm kind of the worst at any kind of video recording where I have to talk.
(As I inform you when I start to trail off)

But I added the option to purchase your entire event album this morning!

$200 for Standard Resolution or
$350 for Full Resolution

Every photo in your dogs folder, regardless of how many are inside. Instant download only, Price is for a single folder, they cannot be combined etc.

Jump to 3 minutes to skip me going over the above basically and to see how add it to your cart!

The album is up!
https://sgeisphotography.shootproof.com/gallery/ASFA2025

If you had registered in the gallery - you should have received an email a bit ago now but all photos have been uploaded for the 2025 ASFA Regional event & Sundays trial from October 18 & 19th in Griswold, CT!

As I mentioned before - there are 7500 photos and they are organized by your dog's name! I did my level best, but I certainly could be mistaken so shoot me a message here or an email if your having any trouble.

**If anyone could do me a favor and pass the gallery along to the lovely owners of Kinnie Farm, I photographed their sons Dalmatians giving it a whirl at the very end and they should be able to download their photos from their album for free as a thank you for letting us have access to that wonderful location!

Enjoy and thank you so much for your patience this past month!

I'm on the final push to get this album completed and live 😁

I've got only 3 dogs/150 (ish) photos to finish, upload and then all 7600 photos from Oct 18 & 19th will be done for the ASFA Regionals & Sunday trial!

Sorted by dog name - multi dog photos were added to whichever dog was most in focus or looked the best in stride - occasionally there were dogs that both were in focus and BOTH looked great so poke around in other albums if you know you ran against them!

I am sure I've misidentified someone - 95% of the dogs I didn't know! I went as far as cross referencing breed/sex/registered coat color in some cases to narrow it down. If I have it wrong when this goes live - just let me know!

Ok back to work so I can send you all the email 😁

Hi folks!

I owe you an update and I'm sorry it's been this long!

All of the photos from the 10/04 & 10/05 FCAT have been uploaded and were uploaded as of Wed 10/22! I've seen lots of orders come through and notified those who signed up via email to watch for their dogs before that so if you hadn't signed up and hadn't yet checked, now you know!

The last event I shot was 10/18 & 10/19 for G.O.N.E. which included the ASFA regional on saturday and a regular trial on sunday -
Those photos are still in progress!

Typically events are up within 1-2 weeks, this has taken me a bit longer to try to sort the dogs into the correct folders by name, along with a couple of days I had blocked off to work on them ... eliminated due to migraines. Last week & this week Ive been navigating an unusual schedule for my day job thanks to some intensive training they scheduled and I have been absolutely done by the time I get home, my dog taken care of and eat something.

Not an excuse - but offering insight into the delay. Here are some peaks at what is coming.. the light and location was just SO stunning!

Good afternoon!

I have a photo update for you all 🥰 I know I said to look out for M&E photos but I rolled right back into worked and then a full weekend shooting FCAT at Showcase for dogs for Springfield Kennel Club, Inc. and South Windsor Kennel Club on 10/05 & 10/06 - and those have have been the priority!

And speaking of - I'm releasing the gallery so that the dogs who I have finished can be reviewed!

I've got about 2000/6000 photos up right now - with MANY more edited, just waiting on the final review and me to click upload so that will be happening all week!

For now I prioritized those who signed up in the gallery and I could match to the list Guylaine gave me! (Though it looks like maybe a couple more yesterday!!)

Thank you for your patience and I hope you love reliving their joy as much as I do 😁

Happy Monday!

---Update for those looking for one ----

I have *almost* all of Fridays images loaded for Bucks but I haven't released the album yet. I want to sweep one more time to make sure I didn't miss anything before I do, and also releasing it is going to trigger orders for editing - which I am not going to be able to work on until the remainder of the weekend is posted, but it will ultimately generate a lot of inquiries that take time away from my being able to focus on getting images up!

I tried SO hard to get working service or wifi this weekend but the Lure Coursing Trial I was shooting was right on the waters edge of the sound - so it was impossible 😞

That being said I literally did not sleep Friday into Saturday in an effort to get these up and sometimes that's just what you have to do in business!

But I am just a one person show :) I live alone, with my one dog who is unfortunately going through some pretty heavy medical treatment and I have a 9-5 career as a Data Architect.

Photography is my PASSION! I know it's so challenging as the exhibitor, and customer when my communication is slow or I forget something we've talked about. (Please just remind me! I'll be so grateful!) But please, please believe I am working so hard for you guys over here & I appreciate your patronage SO much. It's helped me pay for my best friend, my partner in crime, Maverick's chemotherapy treatments all year long and I am beyond grateful for the opportunities you all provide for me ❤️

I will be able to resume answering messages/emails & working on Bucks & Trenton a little during my lunch break today, and then after 6:00 pm. (Chemo appt today for the boy, so have to work later to make it up!)

The remainder of the week I expect to be able to be working between the hours of 5:30 - 11pm, with uploads over night.

I hope this helps offer some insight into my schedule and process - as well as alleviates any worries!

Good morning all!

I am so so so sorry for the silence -

I've gotten lots of inquiries about the Bucks County & Trenton Kennel club FCAT photos and they are in the works! I so very much wanted to have them up before this weekend.

A two and a half day migraine made that impossible, down and out of my day job, as well as incapacitated in the evening.

I have Friday sorted by hour and primed for uploading! I am really hoping that there's wifi today that I can utilize it to do so while I shoot GONE's AKC Lure Coursing tests - Otherwise it will have to wait until after when I can seek out internet.

I am caught up on all orders placed prior to 05/11 and will not be filling any others until Bucks & Trenton is posted - I filled 60 + orders for edited photos between April 8th and May 11th and that's absolutely incredible .. Thank you!!!
