Behind the Scenes

Remember my adorable photo on Wordless Wednesday of me looking at my cute self in the mirror.  Well, I thought I'd show you the behind the scenes since it wasn't quite as easy as it may have appeared.  You see, Mommy went to the guest room downstairs and waited for me to follow her as always without me noticing but I found her and noticed the cell phone ready to take photos...
Of course I pretended not to know what she was up to by meandering over to the mirror...
I floofed up my tail while still keeping an eye on her...
I even cleaned a smudge off the mirror since somebuddy obviously doesn't clean good enough...
Okay Mommy, you won't put that phone down so I'll give you just one chance so are you ready?
And that is when I gave her the look she was waiting for, a deep thoughtful gaze at my own beautiful reflection...
We just gotta make our beans work for the photos sometimes since no kitty performs on demand.

Do you change your behavior when you know there's a camera on you?

Hope your day is filled with lovely things to reflect on!
Angel

Awww. What a good model you are to give your Mommy that ONE chance to get that stunning photo, Angel!
When there's a camera on us, we normally give Mommy the PURRfect look...and move just as she clicks. MOL!

You are so right, Angel - you have to make your humans work for their photos! You don't want them to think you are EASY, after all!

Wow, your mommy's a genuine babe!

You make her work for that photo Angel.

I love, love, love this series of photos! And yes, as soon as Miss Frankie sees the camera she stops doing whatever cute think she was doing....

Catherine said...

Oh yes - you kitties always make us work for the photos! And see? Mommy lays right down on the floor too so that she can get the photo. We will do anything for a good photo op. LOL!

What a great bunch of pictures. Angel, you are quite the ham with the camera. That is just too cute you looking at your new friend in the mirror. Have a great day.

Angel, My mommy LOVED this and the story behind your gorgeous self that day!! Kissies you pretty girl!

These photos make me feel better because many of my photo sessions, even with the boys, go exactly like this one did! The fun of photographing kitties. :)

Your Mum is lucky that you pose so well for her. I get scared and nervous when I see the camera so I usually act weird or try to head butt the camera. Mum says that's No Good.

Oh what a fabulous result in the end. Fabulous pictures. Yes we do behave differently when the camera comes out. Hugs GJ x

Sandee said...

You are adorable Angel and so is your mom.

Yes, I do act different when the camera is on.

Have a purrfect day. My best to your mom. :)

You're so smart to make your Mommy work for a good photo! Yes, we do it too!!

Mom says to tell you she really loves her new earrings. She's wearing a pair right now!!

Oh, that last photo is just divine!! You're such a pretty kitty though, so I imagine it would be hard to take a bad photo.

The Island Cats said...

Sometimes it's being in the right place at the right time...and having the flashy box ready. Great shot, Angel!

Ann said...

So that's how it worked. Glad your mom was paying attention when you gave her the look she wanted.
When my mom gets out the camera I put my head down. Sometimes though she makes funny noises at me and I play along with her

AntiquityTravelers said...

Angel you really are the pro behind the scenes there!

Kitties Blue said...

Mom almost always uses her cell phone (though she knows the quality isn't as good) to take our photos now 'cause we're easier to sneak up on if she doesn't have the camera. Hope you got some extra noms, Angel, for obliging your mom like that. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

Great mirror cleaning work! I can see your reflection clearly in the last photos.

AWESOME look behind the scenes, Angel! There's always more to the story, isn't there?
Cam and I definitely change our behavior when we know the camera is on us!
Play bows,
