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

I don’t get to {photograph} cats each 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 He’s the sweetest little rescue cat (kitten, actually – he’s lower than a 12 months outdated!)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 reward his girlfriend with a traditional picture session for Valentine’s Day (strategy to go, dad!) and we had a beautiful time photographing Lurch at his home and the studio. I believe it’s nice when my cat shoppers can maximize the worth of the Traditional Photograph Session because it presents the flexibility to go to as much as two completely different areas. We had been capable of create a terrific number of photos!

We started at his home, the place I bought to see all of his favourite spots, which was very cute. He frolicked on the sofa a bit bit, and was very happy to point out me his toys and his cat apartment! His dad and mom had truly put in some enjoyable hanging cabinets for him to lounge on… you possibly can inform he’s a really well-taken-care-of cat, and spoiled justtt a bit in the very best approach. 🙂 He has loads to do and is loving life thus far! After I arrived at his residence 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 – one way or the other – I earned his approval (roughly, 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 beneath 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 & area to discover and get comfy, since I knew that will give us the perfect portraits attainable. He made his approach over to the backdrop and we performed with some props that I believe made for some really distinctive photos. 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 possibly can see, he shone within the studio. I’m so glad we visited each areas!

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