Stair Portraits

July 28, 2020 By: Summer Samba43 Comments

Summer goes outside and models for some stair portraits.

I spent some early evening time outside the other day. My human had her camera with her, as usual, and I posed for some photos on the front steps. The one above wasn’t meant to be a posed photo.

The front door is always a good posing spot. It actually is in bad need of refinishing but until then, the wood adds character.

Plus there were the requisite close ups.

We hung out on the steps for a while before going to the next location. I actually like the warm steps better than the cool grass at this time of day.

This is one our go-to spots for photos. It’s nearly always shady, and always pretty. If you have this year’s calendar, you might recognize it from the cover shot.

While we were there, my human took what is arguably one of the best-ever close ups of me.

Nothing was really planned about these photos. It was just a random outing… and they all turned out really well!

    Summer, that close-up shot of you is stunning! All of those pictures are perfect, and your front door is just right the way it is (I live in a 119-year old house so I love to see older houses!).

    Hi Summer! We love your blog posts, particularly the therapy visits but our human doesn’t always have time to visit your blog. We will work harder to get her to visit regularly. Keep up the great work!

    Purrs,
