Angela and Rob

I photographed an engagement session with Angela and Rob of Novato, California a while ago. Their wedding day is approaching next month so I thought I’d post just a couple of the images from their casual engagement photo shoot:

Congrats Angela and Rob!

A Really Fat Cat

Yes, this cat is really this fat, no digital manipulation was done to this image. I ran across him/her in the neighborhood where my Dad lives. It can hardly walk and even just standing up is difficult for the poor kitty.
Isn’t this the fattest cat you’ve ever seen?

I thought they weren't taking proper care of Tiger by letting him get so big....but they were feeding him the right amount each day. Poor thing.
