i had the great honor of photographing hermine the cat last week, and what a cutie. :) although slightly skiddish around new humans and big cameras, she did a wonderful job adapting as best she could and we got some really cute shots. hermine is a german kitty whose parents brought her over from germany two years ago when they moved to the states. she flew in the cargo and had a kitty layover in washington, dc where her owners picked her up. she is very loved and rightly so!
hermine likes: treats, twist ties, her cat tree.
hermine dislikes: vet trips, big cameras.




yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn!!!!


hermine became a little terrified after a few shots, so we went outside and took some photographs of the proud parents for a while until little hermine came outside to join us. :)


i love the two below, but mainly the classic cat pose to the right. such a good kitty silhouette!


i love photographing pets! wish i got more of these sessions. they’re incredibly relaxing compared to weddings! ;)

today’s dolfy’s birthday, also entering the terrible two’s along with buckles. :) he spent most of the day meowing incessantly and following me around the house. he’s a terror…an absolute terror…but we love him. buckles is like the naive, slightly slow and clumsy brother while dolfy is the mastermind behind every broken and shredded object in our house. he’s the reason “why we can’t have nice things.” but just look at that face. :)
