Denver Cat Photographer
Cat Photographs that are works of art
Professional cat photographer might sound like an oxymoron, but you’d be surprised how doable a cat photoshoot is!
I’ll use lenses that enable me to be far away from your cat, so they’ll barely notice me. If your kitty is a diva, they need their own personal paparazzi, right?
How do you get cats to pose?
The trick is to get them to think it’s their idea! I usually try a combination of patience and playing off their natural curiosity.
I’ll get your kitty to think it’s his idea. Trust me: It’s easier than you’d think. I have my ways!
“Karen was wonderful to work with. My cats are very friendly to begin with, but Karen really knew how to draw out and capture their individual personalities. She has wonderful ideas about ways to engage cats, from toys to plants to props. She shared so many wonderful photos with me during the review meeting and it was so difficult to choose. If you know you want images to hang she has a wonderful program to mock up the selection(s) on your wall(s) and room(s). The images she creates aren’t just snapshots they are lifetime memories of your pets.”

A client sent this photo of me introducing myself to her 18-year-old cat at the beginning of the photoshoot. Mariposa was apprehensive at first but eventually warmed up.
WHY HIRE A CAT PHOTOGRAPHER?
If you’re a cat lover, you already have a million cat photos on your phone. Why hire a cat photographer? For starters, my professional camera gear enables me to get high-resolution images – perfect for enlarging and framing.
Most importantly, I see your cat through an artist’s eye. I’ll apply my artistry to capture your cat’s personality.
What if my cat is shy?
I’m very patient with shy cats. Sometimes, your cat needs extra time to get comfortable with me and my equipment. That’s fine. You’ll be surprised how they eventually warm up!
YES, YOU CAN BE IN THE PHOTO
You can add people to your photoshoot! Just add $100 each to the session fee.
