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

These girls are Maple and Penny, two copper-colored retrievers with whom I had a fabulous autumn shoot in Boston last month. I just love their names. We had a great time photographing at home, on the Commonwealth Ave Mall, and along the Esplanade by the Charles River. The two goldens of course could not resist taking a couple of dips into the chilly water, despite having just been given a fluffy pre-shoot bath. I could not resist crashing on the couch after the shoot. Between keeping up with this playful pair, and fighting the crazy wind that day, I was completely wiped! Pet photography is the greatest form of exercise, so it’s nice that it’s also the only form of exercise I’m willing to do. Anyway, this was the first time I had a chance to do a pet shoot in the Back Bay, and I can’t wait to do more. I love photographing along Comm Ave and the Esplanade – so very Boston, so very pretty.

The above are some sample layouts from their 8×8 coffee table book. I just delivered the first layout version to Maple and Penny’s owner (the last 3 images are my favorites. Oh and the ones of them debating under the table are pretty hilarious too). I hope she likes them – the final product should be very very nice!
