What our Clients are saying
“The entire team at Willow Street Pictures was quite friendly while still being professional. The artist went to great lengths to capture pictures of my two cats that were not the norm; especially impressive because one of the cats was quite skittish (her normal temperament). One of my cats died not long after the pictures were taken and the other died a year later, so although the cost was not small I am grateful for the portraits of my two little buddies.”
“From the first emails, right until we received our final artwork, working with Willow Street Pictures was professional and personal. They excel with the little details. Arriving for our photoshoot, we felt like celebrities with our dressing room, and treats (even stuff for our dog and cat). There is a lot of patience and care that went into our photoshoot day, as our cat was not too keen on having his photo taken (and our dog, well, she was more than ready to have her photo taken!). Be prepared to fall in love with many more photos than you were planning on!
We have our framed work hanging in our main entrance, and always, every single time, our guests comment on how amazing they are. Thank you for the beautiful moments!”
“I absolutely had an amazing experience at Willow Street Pictures! They were extremely professional and very thorough when explaining their artistic process. During the photoshoot, the artist was able to capture immaculate pictures of my “fur baby” family as well as each of their unique and individual personalities. I am so grateful that I was able to have the opportunity to work with them!”

Cat Portraits FAQs
How are you able to photograph cats in the studio?
We provide a calm, peaceful atmosphere to make cats feel comfortable. We have special cat soundtracks that we play in the studio and tailor our approach to the traits of each individual animal. You may be surprised to learn that we also have a special “cat walk” studio that works very well for capturing the purr-fect feline portrait.
What if my cat doesn't like car rides?
If your cat is more comfortable at home, no problem! We can come to you. Most of our creative team have cats as part of their family and love being around them. We understand the patience needed to photograph our feline friends, so there is no rush in the photoshoot.
What happens if you're not able to get a good portrait?
The creative team who will be working with you have amazing patience. Their creative vision allows them to capture stunning images on every photoshoot. What’s nice about working with us is that during the photoshoot we take pauses to review the images created, and we love to hear your feedback. If there’s anything that you want to change or have questions about, we simply go in a new direction that works for your family.
How many cats can I bring?
You are welcome to bring them all! There is not additional charge. We always ask if the cats get along if you are looking to capture them together. If they do, we have great success in creating cat portraits with groups. One of our clients brought along her 8 cats with their cat tree and that was fun!

“I had a great experience with Willow Street Pictures. They came to my house so I didn’t need to stress out my pets. The cat photography was amazing. The creative team was patient and calm even as my cats were having a melt down with the flash. In the end, I couldn’t believe how many amazing portraits were taken, even my scaredy cat! The quality is superb and that is what you are investing in. You are getting artwork that will last a lifetime.”
