Cats on Gray, Part 2

A few more cats and kittens for you. I think these cuties are the perfect way to start a new week.

This is Ellie. I always have a soft spot in my heart for gray cats. Sorry, Mouse and Chee, but it's true.

And any cat with a white belly is also an instant favorite.

This confident dude is Tonka, so named because he's built a little like a truck (in a good way!).

I love those gorgeous yellow eyes!

This petite girl is Trudy. She's a sweetheart, and she loves to play with toys.

Isn't that a gorgeous face?

Claws out!!

And this small stalker is Stripe. She was so fast! Like a whiz kitty. she loved to attack the toy, but she also delighted in shooting past us and hiding (unsuccessfully) behind the roll of gray paper. She'll keep her new owners on their toes, that's for sure!

And her brother Balrog was pretty much the same, although he didn't run and hide. Still, he's a quick one! I hope they get adopted together; they'll make a wonderful spirited pair for someone.

And this little cutie is Rubio. He was brought to the shelter as a stray, but he's cute as a button, and very very sweet. He was happier in my arms than out on the scary gray paper. He also tried to climb up to my shoulder!

What a pretty face. Love that chin!

And last but not least, Charlie's Angel (what a name, eh?). He was quite a scaredy cat, so we only got this one picture of him, but he really likes people, so when he calms down a bit he'll be a great cat.

Hope you enjoyed these cats! Don't forget you can adopt them all. Happy Monday!

Nikki - San Francisco Author Photo Session

So I know I introduced you all to Nikki the other day, but I just couldn't let you go without showing you a few more images from our fun session.

As I said, Nikki was looking for an author photo for her new book (which I will totally link to once it's available for preorder), and she was really drawn to this photo I had taken of her friend Marin on film a few months ago. Here's that photo.

So we started off at Four Barrel Coffee on a Saturday afternoon, where I was really excited to shoot because they have huge windows, great coffee, and big wood slab tables. The only tricky part was that everyone else had the same idea (minus the photography part) so it was jam packed. All the tables and seats were taken, and easily 15 people were just sort of standing around waiting for a seat.

Also, it looked like rain. 

So you can imagine what I did. I panicked. Well, maybe for about a minute. But the rain held off, and we just shot outside, and through the window, and then we went and walked around the Mission District looking for good backgrounds. And we found them.

In the end, it was a great session. 

I just absolutely love this one.

(See the bracelet on her wrist?)

Such a great smile!

Nikki, you have the most gorgeous eyes. I'm sure you've heard that before.

And a couple of black and whites to finish.

Nikki, thanks so much for all your patience with me and your willingness to do whatever cockamamie idea I had at the time! I can't wait to read your book, and then check the back cover. :)
