Last May I headed into Boulder to photograph Laurie’s two cats and a turtle! Although I was super excited to photograph my first turtle (and a very spunky one at that), it was another bittersweet pet session. Laurie’s cat Rocky wasn’t doing so well, and she wanted to do a professional photo session while she still could. Even though both cats weren’t sure about my camera and lenses, they tolerated me, and even showed how they warmed up by playing. Since this session, Rocky has crossed the rainbow bridge, where I would like to believe he is in no pain, has limitless treats, and beautiful weather.
