Moonshine + Banks | Michigan Cat Photographer

I have to say it’s a bit of a treat when I get to photograph cats. Primarily because most of my clientele is 99% dogs. Don’t get me wrong, I love, love, love working with dogs, but I can’t start but help to think that people might love their dogs more than their cats. :( (Prove me wrong if you’re a cat owner reading this?)

In February, I had the opportunity to work with two adorable cats named Moonshine and Banks. Not going to lie, I immediately gravitated towards Banks because of her RBF–probably because we both have that in common. Aka we often hear, “Why does she look so angry?” “She’s not. She always just looks like that.”

I asked their owner, Kate, to share some background on the two cats because I thought how she got them, and how she came up with their names were super creative!

“Banks was rescued in Northern Michigan in the middle of winter. When I got her she was severely underweight and sick. I nursed her back to health and she has been my shadow ever since! Banks got her name because my mom told me that cats were expensive and so I named her Bankruptcy (but we call her Banks!)

I adopted Moonshine from the Ann Arbor Cat Clinic when he was a kitten. Now he is almost 2 and is the worlds best little brother! Moonshine got his name after a quick brainstorming session with my friends over a few drinks. Someone brought up Moonshine and it stuck!”

Thanks Kate for letting me be Moonshine + Banks’ pawparazzi for the day. Hope you love their images! :)

Griswold the Boxer + Tomorrow the Rescue Pup | Dexter Pet Photography

Why are my clients so photogenic?

I seriously have the toughest time picking images to share on my posts. I’ll be going through and picking out my favorites images, and before you know it, I have thirty images, and I’m like no, no, Kat. This is way too many; people are going to get bored!

Anyway, the best I could do here is 28, so hopefully, you’re not bored by the end of this. I tried to include some funny ones at the end, so if anything scroll down to those, because those are a real hoot.

The inspiration for the session was because Griswold’s cancer came out of remission, sadly, after going through an expensive hip replacement. Given the cost of chemo and uncertainty of the outcome, Laura decided that it was probably best instead to capture some happy images of her little family to remember him by. We were blessed with a beautiful day in February and spent time doing all of their favorite things: playing, being allowed on the couch, and getting spoiled with love. Can you feel all of the love going on in the puppy pile images? :)

Thank you Laurie and Michael for being such good sports with everything–and especially Michael because he stubbed his pinky toe earlier that day and had to cram his swollen toe into a shoe. We know how much fun that is. Anyway, I hope you love the images from our session, and that they brighten your day!
