I can't perfect it! Out of about 100 shots these are the only half good ones. I think it might be my camera, but apparently my camera is pretty good according to my Mum who bought it for me. I'm thinking next birthday I might buy a flashy camera or take some photography classes, seeing the amazing photos that some people take is really inspirational (my favourite photographer being Walt Loveridge, see here http://www.waltloveridge.tumblr.com). I would kill to be even half that good, and to get some nice photos of the boys! They look so much more beautiful in real life. But whenever the camera comes out they just refuse to look its way! But for now, here are my half-good photos....

Jake, Blue Point, 25 Months Old now.





Jasper, Lilac Bicolour, 16 Months Old now. I couldn't get many I liked of him because his eyes would go red and I just can't stand bad eye colour ):






And one of Jasper from a few days ago, with orange eyes. Check out those massive paws, and also his massive summer coat! I'm a little scared about how big his winter coat will get... lots and lots of grooming, and lots of lots of shedding in Spring ):


Enjoy!
Cloe, Jake and Jazzy.

LOL... Dun worry, Cloe! Your % of "good quality" pics is higher than mine... For me, I can only get ~ 20% to 30% of good quality pics out of all the pics that I took... Hehehe..
If only you live nearer to me... I would definitely bring a big bag and cat-nap Jake and Jasper... They are absolutely stunning!!

they are gorgeous. can i steal jasper pleaseeeeeeeeeee.
i love him. he wants to live with me.

I guess it is lucky you two don't live closer to me, I'd end up with no cats!!

Aww you did a fine job! They are so handsome! When I am taking pictures of Solo I almost always have a treat or a toy in my hand to help him pose better for me

It's just great to see your boys as we don't see too much of them (hint). Jake has grown into quite the stunner - I can't believe he's already over 2 years. Jasper just has the most amazing color - I love lilacs! I know his eyes are beautiful too - but that boy looks like he doesn't want to show them off!!

Oh, I certainly tried that Alisha! I learned something during today's photoshoot.. their little claws need trimming. My finger was bleeding for a good 10 minutes, it was discusting. Just wouldn't stop running. Jasper owed me, and he knew it, gave me a nice last shot LOL. It is so hard to remember sometimes that they are still only kittens when they are soooo big! But when they get into play, they go crazy over those little mice, fluffy feather tails, hairties and cat wands, and that is it - they're just big kittens!

Edited because this late hour is getting to me! Lets just say T, thanks and that I agree And that I feel like a way more obsessed crazy cat lady then the rest of you hence the huge editing here.. I swear I'm actually normal in real life

wonderful pix for sure and they are simply breathtaking. The only thing I know about taking them without weird eyes is to use as much natural lighting as you can and I try not to use my flash. It makes no difference tho as we just love to see them whether the eyes are right or not. Some of mine look like they came from demon land or something but to me they are still the love of my life besides James of course.

Thanks for the pic

Ohhh, the blue in jake's furr makes me jealous ;-)
I've never seen a lilac raggie before, but Jasper is really stunning! And he has such a sweet and adorable face!
