Cat Photography in North Idaho

Capturing Your Feline Friend’s Personality

Is Your Cat a Good Fit for a Photo Session?

Cats are majestic, mischievous, and full of personality—but when it comes to photography, they’re also notorious for doing exactly what they want, when they want. As a pet photographer in North Idaho, I’ve worked with my fair share of feline models, and I can tell you—no two cats are the same! If you’re wondering whether your cat would enjoy a photo session, let’s talk about what makes a great cat photography experience and how we can create beautiful images of your feline friend on their terms.

Some cats are social butterflies who will eagerly sniff out a new visitor and claim their lap as a throne. Others vanish into the depths of the house at the first sign of a stranger.

A good way to decide if your cat would enjoy a session is to think about how they react when company comes over:

  • Do they hide under the bed until the coast is clear?
  • Do they cautiously observe from a distance before making an appearance?
  • Do they confidently stroll into the room, ready to investigate?

If your cat is even a little bit social or curious, they’re likely to do just fine in a photo session! Even if they’re shy, we’ll take things slowly and work with their comfort level. However, if your cat loathes every moment of someone else being in the house, a photographer following them around may be more stress than it's worth.

Capturing Your Cat’s True Personality

Unlike dogs, who are generally eager to please, cats couldn’t care less about following commands. That’s why cat photography sessions tend to be much more documentary-style. I let your cat take the lead, and I follow—sometimes literally crawling around your home like a National Geographic photographer, just waiting for that perfect moment.

Here’s how we can tailor the session to your cat’s personality:

  • Playful Cats – If your cat loves to chase feather wands or pounce on their favorite toy, we’ll capture action shots full of movement and energy.
  • Lounging Cats – If your cat prefers the good life, we’ll find them in their favorite sunspot or curled up in their coziest nook.
  • Curious Explorers – If your cat is adventurous, we’ll follow them as they investigate their surroundings, whether indoors or outside.

Where Do Cat Photography Sessions Take Place?

Most cats feel safest at home, so that’s usually where we’ll do the session. Your cat’s environment plays a big role in their personality, and I love capturing them in their favorite spaces—whether that’s on a window perch, stretched out on the couch, or ruling the backyard like a tiny lion.

That said, I have worked with a handful of fearless felines who enjoy venturing outdoors. If your cat is leash-trained or comfortable outside, we can explore a secure garden or other safe outdoor setting.

Want a Studio Look? I Can Bring the Studio to You!

If you love the idea of a classic studio-style portrait but don’t want to take your cat out of their comfort zone, I’ve got great news—I can bring the studio to you! As long as you have a space of about 5x8 feet in your home, I can set up a professional backdrop and studio lighting for a clean, polished look. This is perfect for cat parents who love bold, dramatic portraits or simple, timeless images that focus on their cat’s stunning features. With an in-home studio setup, your cat gets to stay in a familiar environment while we create stunning images that feel like they were taken in a professional photography studio. It’s the best of both worlds!

What If You Have Both Cats and Dogs?

Many of my clients have a mix of pets, and we can absolutely include both your cat and dog in a session! Since cats and dogs often have different energy levels and preferences, we can structure the session to fit both with a split session.

For example:

  • We start at home, where your cat is comfortable, capturing beautiful portraits of them in their element.
  • Then, we take the adventure outdoors for action shots of your dog at the park or on a trail.
  • If your pets are friends, we’ll capture their interactions—whether that’s playful antics or a sweet moment of them relaxing together.

Hiring a professional pet photographer is an investment in memories that will last a lifetime. With over 15 years of experience, I’m dedicated to providing you with beautiful, high-quality photographs that truly capture the heart and soul of your beloved pet. If you’re ready to create some lasting memories with your furry friend, let’s get in touch and plan a session that you’ll never forget.

Looking forward to capturing some pawesome moments with you and your cat!
