Li Ward photographer of pets and weddings. Fat Orange Cat Studio is a fresh and candid boutique photography service in Boston, Massachusetts.

I met Jameson (yes, named after the bottle) and his lovely owner one beeyootiful fall afternoon at the Boston Public Garden last month for this Sato’s first pet photoshoot. The leaves were only starting to change, not as fall-foliagey as I had expected it to be by then, so I was excited when I screened through the shots and saw so many dominated by warm golds and oranges. It’s funny what the camera will pick up what the brain sometimes doesn’t. I was even happier to see Jameson’s playful personality shine through. I really love photographing at the Public Garden – it’s not a big space, and yet there seems to be an endless amount of beautiful backdrops to photograph against. But I can see how the Garden can be pretty distracting for a first-timer like Jameson, what with all the humans and squirrels and ducks and even the occasional police horse ambling by (ooo no, we did not like the horse, not at all!).  But he worked it, he worked it good. After our shoot Jameson’s mom sent me a mobile photo of him passed out in the backseat of the car. That’s when you know you’ve done it right!
