I had such a wonderful treat this summer; three kittens came into my St. Albert studio for their very own portrait session, and it was an absolute joy from start to finish. As an Edmonton pet and cat photographer, I love working with animals of all personalities, but kittens bring a special kind of magic. They’re fearless, curious, and completely unpredictable… in the best ways possible.

These three were no exception. Finn, the brown tabby, was all spunk and sunshine. Tigger, the light orange tabby, took the lead with his bold little strut and sass. And Maisy, the darker orange tabby, brought endless energy and sweetness. It was an action-packed afternoon filled with laughter as they bounced, pounced, and zoomed around the studio with their wild, spunky kitten antics.

Photographing cats is always a mix of patience, timing, and letting them simply be themselves. Cats; especially kittens, thrive when they feel comfortable, so I create a calm, playful environment where their natural behaviours shine. Whether they want to explore, cuddle, or turn the session into a game, I work with their rhythms to capture genuine expressions and personality.

A few weeks after this session, this lovely family adopted a fourth kitten — and yes, she had her own portrait session too. I can’t wait to share her images soon.
