Silly Pets

I really don't take pictures of these silly pets as much as I should, but I hope that will change soon!  With all this free time, I figured I could focus on getting more pictures of Kira, Arien, and Beren instead of just the hamsters.  So here's what I got from following them around today.

Wide Views

I enjoyed playing around with this wide angle lens again to get these wide views (I do still want to work on calibrating the focus).  Kira, Beren, and Arien don't seem to like a camera in their face, but they are gonna have to get used to it happening more during this time that I don't have clients to photograph.  Arien was actually a bit tricky to photograph because she kept jumping onto my shoulders.  Hahaha she's such a shoulder cat.

Arien was supposed to get spayed yesterday, but the vet called and said it needed to be delayed two weeks.  😩  Hopefully Arien doesn't destroy our house in the meantime.  She's getting SO crazy!

Hide and Seek

Kira and Arien love playing together, but I do think that Kira gets a wee bit annoyed at the sheer amount of energy Arien has.  So sometimes Kira needs a break.  I like to think this is the following dialogue between these too.

Kira: "ugh, there's Arien.  I should hide."

Arien: "oh hey Kira!!  Wanna play??!!"

Kira: "why is this closet door always closed??!  I need a hiding place!"

Kira: "oh I have the BEST place in mind!"

Kira: "I gotta make sure Arien doesn't see me go under here..."

Kira: "here I go!"

Arien: "oh hey there!  Have you seen Kira?  I'm looking for her."

Kira: "hey mom, I really enjoyed those peaceful moments under the love seat, all by myself.  You gotta make sure Arien never learns about my new hiding spot."

Arien: "Dude, this spot is awesome!  Thanks mom for pointing it out!"

Arien: "Hey Kira, look at this great spot.  I can attack from here."

Arien: "Yep, this spot is the best."

Arien: "I could stay like this forever."

Lickers

After Arien and Kira eat, they always spend a bunch of time grooming themselves (and sometimes each other).  I would like to point out that I was NOT intentionally taking pictures of them with their tongues out, it just kept happening.  So I'm running with it.  😁😋

Tongue Out Tuesday

Kira and Arien love to groom each other which is the sweetest thing ever!

Fluffy Pets

All my pets are so fluffy!  I probably need to brush the cats and dog way more often than I do... 

I really enjoyed taking pictures of Arien, Kira, and Beren.  It had been quite a while since I used anything other than my cell phone camera on these guys!  

Valentine's Day

I had fun playing with lights in my studio to get these shots.  Aren't they cute??!
