Thanks for your opinions! I am calling the photographers this week and hopefully it won't be a problem to have my cat in them. The pictures will be done at their house, not a studio, so i don't know. They have a dog, too, which makes me a little nervous that they'll say no. We'll cross our fingers. I don't know what I'm going to do if they say no. Maybe I can get them to stop by my house for a couple shots if they don't want my cat at their house.
