Lurch, the assured black rescue cat San Diego Pet Photographer Allison Shamrell ~ The Weblog

I don’t get to {photograph} cats day-after-day, so Lurch’s picture session was an actual deal with! He’s the sweetest little rescue cat (kitten, actually – he’s lower than a 12 months outdated!) who lives together with his mother and pa in Carmel Valley, San Diego. Lurch’s dad truly reached out to me again in February to present his girlfriend with a basic picture session for Valentine’s Day (method to go, dad!) and we had an exquisite time photographing Lurch at his home and the studio. I believe it’s nice when my cat purchasers can maximize the worth of the Traditional Picture Session because it gives the flexibility to go to as much as two totally different areas. We had been in a position to create an awesome number of pictures!

We started at his home, the place I received to see all of his favourite spots, which was very cute. He frolicked on the sofa somewhat bit, and was very happy to indicate me his toys and his cat condominium! His dad and mom had truly put in some enjoyable hanging cabinets for him to lounge on… you’ll be able to inform he’s a really well-taken-care-of cat, and spoiled justtt a bit in the very best means. 🙂 He has loads to do and is loving life up to now! Once I arrived at his house there was little doubt that Lurch is a curious cat. He clearly needed to know who I used to be and why I used to be there, and ultimately – someway – I earned his approval (kind of, ha!). It’s all the time enjoyable to work with a cat who’s assured and outgoing versus one which’s all the time attempting to cover underneath the mattress!

We then headed over to my studio in Rancho Bernardo, the place he did a tremendous job! Admittedly, he was nervous at first. The studio is a model new place and that may be intimidating for any animal, however particularly for cats who wish to take it sluggish and discover. In order that’s precisely what we did. We gave him time & house to discover and get comfy, since I knew that will give us the very best portraits potential. He made his means over to the backdrop and we performed with some props that I believe made for some actually distinctive pictures. I couldn’t have requested for a sweeter cat to work with than Lurch. 🙂

These vibrant yellow eyes, with that shiny black fur? Lurch, simply wait till you study Halloween.

As you’ll be able to see, he shone within the studio. I’m so glad we visited each areas!

Stacy & Jack, I’m excited to lastly share our pictures with you very quickly! Thanks for introducing me to your candy boy!
