1. Do you accept walk-ups at shows?

We operate on a walk-up basis to allow flexibility during the show. If your cat is called to a ring mid-session, we’ll pause and make arrangements for you to return when available. We will have a sign of some sort outside of studio stating if we are available or not.

2. How are images delivered, and when will I receive them?

Images are delivered via a private online gallery. Galleries are typically sent within 30 days after the show. Please note! These galleries will only be available for 30 days - so download them to your devices/hard drives right when they are delivered.

3. Are high-resolution files included?

Yes. All packages include high-resolution, professionally edited digital images at no additional cost.

4. What if my cat is shy, spicy, or uncooperative?

No problem — we work at your cat’s pace and prioritize comfort and safety. If a cat becomes stressed, we’ll pause or adjust as needed. We will try to arrange extra shooting time to fulfill the amount of photos in the package you selected. In rare cases where a cat is too stressed and images cannot be completed—or only partially completed—we will deliver what we are able to capture. Any refund will be issued based on what was completed and the time spent, at our discretion, to ensure a fair outcome for everyone.

How do package times and image counts work?

Session times are estimates. We photograph until the estimated number of images included in your selected package is captured, adjusting as needed based on your cat’s comfort and the show environment. We will deliver all use-able photos but try to keep it around what was selected in the package.

Where are you located?

We’re a Salt Lake City, Utah–based pet photographer specializing in cats, dogs, kittens, puppies, and small litters, offering in-home sessions and available for travel. We primarily serve the Mid-Pacific region for cat show photography, but are always open to discussing travel.

meet the waters team

We’ve been breeding Maine Coons for the past three years and absolutely love it. Photographing our kittens as they grow—often weekly—has taught us patience and the importance of letting each cat feel comfortable and confident. Every cat is different, and we always take the time they need. As breeders, we understand feline behavior and how to create a calm, stress-aware photo experience. Whether you’re hoping to capture a special final, a show moment, or simply want beautiful photos of your cat, those memories matter—and they deserve to be documented. We’re honored to help capture your cat at their best.
