When I’m doing a photo shoot outside, often instead of just hustling me back in, my human will let me hang out for a little while. She tries not to bother me too much with the camera (although it doesn’t really bother me), and tries to just let me be a cat. But of course, she usually winds up pulling out the camera anyway. That’s the story behind these casual portraits. They were taken after my Straw Hat Day photo shoot.
A lot of the photos did come out really nice!
My human also took a few moments to pet me. In spite of how this photo looks, I actually enjoyed it.
She also wanted to get a photo of the big tree behind me. Unfortunately the pic was kind of crooked, so she lost some off the top. But I think you get an idea of its size!
It was a beautiful day, and I was happy that my human let me sunbathe on the steps in front of our house. They had just the right amount of warmth. In the summer, I prefer the grass.
Eventually we did go back inside! I hope you enjoyed these casual photos. Let me know if you have a favorite.

The second one is drop dead gorgeous Summer
These are all such pretty pictures of you, Summer! I really like the picture of you where the trees form a large background, it’s very dramatic. But I love the first one too! Hard to choose!
We really liked that side view and the one of you on the steps is supurr. These are all worthy of Summer, right Summer
Summer, you take the best pics!! Always:)
Those are great. I have always been a fan of candid photography. That is why I never got into photography professionally because I would have had to do portraits or weddings and I was never comfortable posing people.
So hard to choose! The close up profile shows off your pretty eyes, and the last one is really neat with your Lady’s silhouette is striking. To me, it demonstrates how she’s always there guiding you and keeping you safe.. which we all appreciate! XOXO
p.s. the sunbathing shot is classic kitty life… Never pass up a moment to relax and warm the belly! MOL!
I don’t have a favorite – all the pics are good.
It looks like you are very relaxed and enjoying the
time outside. Good for you.
Summer, they are all beautuful. the shadow one is really cool but my fav is the profile
We really enjoyed them all, Summer. If we had to choose, we’d pick the first one. Hugs!
Summer they are all terrific shots BUT I really like your profile and your shadow shot at the end.
Summer I love them all.
You’re such a beauty, Summer!
The first two photos are my favourites.
The first two close ups are our faves!
We really like the photo with the big tree. It looks like you’re Queen of the Jungle! And the shadow photo is really cool too!

Lovely photos. Really like the one with the tree!
Those are such nice photos, I think the first one is my favorite sweet Summer!
What lovely photos of you, Summer. I like the shadows one the best. It’s really cool.
You ALWAYS look great Summer – ALWAYS.
Hugs, Teddy
It’s hard to pick a favourite as they are all good pictures.
I like you laying on the steps. Bet they were warm from the sun.
The shadow pic is quite striking too 🙂
Purrs, Julie
All are of course very beautiful ~ but we’re particularly taken with the “shadows” image, the lighting and composition
are striking!
