I was very lucky to have Nora as my first cat photography client – Nora LOVES the camera and the camera loves her…

- Favorite Food: anything with fish
- Pet Peeve: being picked up without permission
- Favorite Pastime: tricking Riley off the sofa so she can have the position
- Naughtiest Deed: walking into the fireplace and rolling around in the ashes
- Obesession: cleanliness, cleanliness, cleanliness
- Favorite Toy: Little catnip mice


Beth has amazing natural light coming into her house. This particular day was typical of Portland Oregon in the fall – dark and raining. Fortunately her house had great windows and Nora’s eyes were soaking up every bit of light that was coming in. It was interesting to see after the photo shoot that Nora’s eyes are slightly different colors – I didn’t notice this until I was processing the photos.
Nora was rescued by Beth several years ago. She is a Turkish Angora and certainly carries all the traits of one! While I was sitting on the couch talking to Beth, Nora proceeded to comb my hair with her nails – not kidding. Apparently she loves long hair! Angora cats also tend to be very ‘dog like’, interacting with everyone in the room. She was definitely trying to steal the show away from Riley (the dog, coming up!).
