Thanks everyone  :shy:  My heart bursts with pride every time I look at one of them, not only are they scrumptious but they have super little personalities too and are ultra loving :Luv:

Riley (grey and white one) has the panting issues, after tests the vet seems to think it's nothing to worry about and is just 'him' 

Helen, they're brilliant pics, particularly given how lively your two are.  I love Riley inna box  ;D

There were lots of 'empty' shots and half a cat/blurry moving cat shots too  :evillaugh:  He took 390 odd and was left with 140 odd usable ones  :evillaugh:

They are simply adoreable Helen. Who'd a guessed that you would be so blessed after Tiggy's departure? Was listening to "I can see clearly now the rain has gone" the other day and thought of you. Got a bit tearful in a very nice kind a way  :)

I know, I think that to myself every day.  I never thought I'd be able to love another cat like I love my Tiggy, but the boys have brought that sunshine back into my life after it was so dark without her.  I still miss her like crazy and would give anything to have her back and I don't think that will ever change but I have been truly blessed with Lukey and Riley  :)

I love the pictures Helen, so professional!  :Luv:

The first one of Riley looks like he has a big smile on his face  :Luv:
How long did the photographer take and was it expensive?

They look fantastic, I'd love some done of mines and put onto a big canvas for the living room.

He was about half an hour setting up and then was taking pics for over an hour.  The boys were really hyper so it was exhausting trying to get them to behave themselves and not wreck his backdrops and actually be in front of the camera instead of pouncing on each other behind the backdrop  :evillaugh:  Most of the pics were actually taken in the kitchen in front of the backdrop until the boys got bored and then they went on a rampage in the living room and he followed them in there.

The photographer I used didn't advertise as a pet photographer but I emailed him asking if he would do the boys and he said yes, it was £100 for an hours shoot at home and that includes five 8 x 6" prints of my choice and I get to keep the CD with all the other images on (at a resolution suitable for 5 x 7 prints).   He normally does weddings and portraits and when I asked if he'd do animals agin he said 'Possibly'  :rofl:

Thats fantastic!

I didn't realise he was just an ordinary photographer  :wow:
I think I might enquire about it bc I would love some professional pics to put on display, the ones I take are always wonkey lol

Helen - these are excellent.  I do love your little lads.  They're ever so sute and look full of character.  I bet Tiggy is having a right good smile to herself watching you all.  I can see her in my mind's eye, kind of stretching and smiling  and settling down in content when she checks in with you.   :Luv:
