I always hear people talk about how photographing their kids is a lot harder than photographing other people’s kids. I think this is also true of your cats, which (if you’re like us) are your kids… only the furry, four-legged kind. I’ve been realizing lately how little I take pictures of our own little guys. We have a lot on our phones, but not true genuine pictures. So, while there’s still down time for another month before wedding season, I took some pictures of our boys. :) The CSP Spokescats are ready for the 2012 wedding season… and they’re chasing their tails and sleeping with their mouths open to prove it.

Cat Key:

Dolfy (“Dolfs”, “D”) – Brown stripped tabby

Buckles (“Beebs”, “B”) – Tuxedo cat

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.

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. :)
