PHOTOGRAPHY BY GEEB
Mark Geebert (aka Geeb)
Congratulations for qualifying for the National Amateur Championship! As part of your entry you are entitled to a 5×7 portrait of your qualified dog.
Portrait sittings start on training day and complete by mid-afternoon of the second day of the trial. I’m usually located some where close to the beginning of the course. Getting the portrait done on Training Day (even if you are not participating in the training) is a lot less stressful. My general recommendations for getting the best portrait:
- Get the portrait done before running your dog
- Check your dogs appearance. Remove eye goop, burrs, etc…
- Bring your dog’s favorite toy or treat.
Additional portraits or special photos can be done for a fee.
