This past weekend, I spent some time in South Carolina for travel photo sessions. Before my Saturday evening session, I hung out at my mom's house for a few hours. She has a pretty grey cat named Sasha who was all ready for playing when I got there. I figured there was no better way to get ready for my evening photo session than to warm up by taking a few quick photos of Sasha! I don't get to photograph cats very often so I was more than thrilled for this opportunity!
After play time, Sasha was ready to move to her favorite room of the house - the sunroom. This room has three walls of windows...perfect for a cat to check out the birds and goings-on of the neighborhood. All of the windows provided gorgeous backlighting - something that is quickly becoming my new *thing*.

By the end, Sasha was ready to be left alone and settled down under her favorite chair for nap time...
