What's Become of the Cat with No Eyes?

Many of you who follow my Facebook page might remember the little kitty "Sebastian" who was in pretty bad shape & needed to have his eyes surgically removed.  Well he has a really good home now & yesterday I was so thrilled to do a photoshoot of him & his furry family members. He's such a great cat & he definitely doesn't let his blindness slow him down.



Sebastian today!

Contact me to book your pet photo session.  There's still time to get your photos before Christmas.

Today at the Habersham Animal Shelter

 My husband, Mark, (in the photo over there) and I volunteer at our local animal shelter photographing the pets up for adoption.  I'm the photographer & Mark is my patient assistant.  Normally we photograph the doggies and sometimes a few cats.   Well, today was CAT DAY!  And as you can see from the photo Mark was getting some thank you loving from one of the cats.  LOTS of cats at the shelter today in need of adoption. So PLEASE if you're looking for a loving feline or canine companion visit your local animal shelter.

Also today, 2 cats were adopted by these beautiful ladies.  YEA!!!!

Getting Sidetracked Can Be a Good Thing

Have you ever started doing one thing only to get sidetracked by something else?  Sometimes it can be a really good thing! 

Hummingbird and Petunias Composite

Juvenile Ruby Throated Hummingbird and petunias Composite
Available for purchase at Hummer and Petunias

Originally I photographed this little hummer at one of our feeders, but let's face it, it was a rather uninspiring shot.  It would be so much prettier with flowers involved.  So this is what I did...Read more.

Kitty in the Marigolds

While walking past my garden I spotted one of my cats nestled among the marigolds. What a photos op! I sneaked past her & hurried into my house to grab my camera hoping she would still be there when I returned and she was!  She was such a great little model posing so nice for me. She's obviously got something in her sights. To see the before image and a short explanation of my editing process click on "Read more" below.
