What's in an album

I recently delivered an album to my cat-owning customers Kylee, her mother Lori and uncle Larry. The family owns two Siamese cross cats, Poppy and Willow. One very large and ginger in colour with a striking resemblance to Garfield, the other small and slim, almost white with some patches in her face and the tail. Willow is still a young kitten and colour changes are apparent even between the original shooting date and now.

An album is a fully customized book, based on 10 double spreads. The book is constructed so that there are no folds in the centre so that images can be placed across the full double spread. I produce these albums in 12"x12" and it usually includes 25 to 30 images from the shoot. 

Here are Larry and Kylee as they receive their customized album "Poppy and Willow".

Poppy has a good look too. She is almost life size in this double spread image.

I was so happy to see how pleased Larry and Kylee were with the production. To get your own album of your cat, dog, horse, rabbit or your whole family - contact me!

I found Garfield

Last week I had the fun experience of photographing Poppy and Willow, two they-could-not-be-more-different Siamese cross cats. Poppy is much larger, more complacent, not as easily interested in the action and Willow, who looks like a little kitten but is already one year old, who can be animated for any game but is therefore much harder to catch in a composed manner.

We had lots of fun and at the end of the shoot I am sure they both were tired - I sure was!

To my surprise I only noticed today how much Poppy looks like Garfield - have a look for yourself!

Garfield - I am sure!!!

Garfield - the proof

Do you agree - Garfield at work!

Willow darted around playing with the toys and catching the laser beam. She was so much fun to watch!

Willow got hold of the toy

Willow - in pursuit of the laser beam, Poppy is in disbelief

There must have been something we just don't see.....

It was also a lot of fun to photograph them together as they were lounging on the sofa. What a great pair! Thanks Kylee for letting me photograph your precious cats!
