Valentine’s Photo Shoot, Take One

February 9, 2020 By: Summer Samba23 Comments

somali cat with Happy Valentine's Day bag

I did a Valentine’s Day photo shoot a few days ago. I will have to do it again for a few reasons. But it was still fun! Sometimes when I do a photo shoot, my human teaches me to do something on the fly. This time, she decided to teach me how to jump into this Valentine’s Day bag.

I eyeballed the height and figured I was more than up to the task. It’s way lower than the kitchen counter.

First I got to explore the inside of the bag. Putting a treat inside was good encouragement!

And actually, I took to jumping into the bag pretty fast! In fact, I thought it was fun. But can you see what was happening (other than too much of a backlight)? The glitter from the bag was starting to make a mess that was really difficult to clean up.

Also it only took a couple of moments after I jumped in before the bag started falling over.

We did get some cute shots, except the glitter mess was really bad. Yes, it can be Photoshopped out, but it is tedious work, and my human griped about that. So she is going to wash the backdrop and have a do over. She sprayed hairspray all over the bag to keep the glitter better glued on. Maybe that will work! We’ll see.

Look! It’s now a card in my Zazzle shop:

    Those are good. The only one I wouldn’t include in
    the shoot is where the bag has fallen over with you.
    I would not have noticed the glitter if you hadn’t
    pointed it out. Good work.
