OUR PHOTOGRAPHERS

Little Lotus Hearts is happy to introduce you to Grey Skies Photography. The partners of Grey Skies Photography generously donated their time and energy to photograph our feline models for our website and our print advertising. Each of these wonderful women are animal lovers and share their lives with animal companions as well. Little Lotus Hearts is deeply grateful for their talent and generosity and we hope that you will read about them and check out their websites.

You can see more of Grey Skies Photography's great work in the photographs featured in Little Lotus Hearts print advertisements in Animal Wellness, Cat Fancy, Shambhala Sun, Buddhadharma and Tricycle Magazine. Little Lotus Hearts will also be featuring ads in Snowlion, Modern Dog, The Bark and Dog Fancy.

JENNIFER ABORN

Jennifer graduated from SUNY Purchase in 1999, with a major in photography. Since then, she has been working as a freelance photographer, shooting for magazines, web sites and a variety of musicians and actors.


She is also currently a photo editor for two popular magazines. Jennifer grew up with cats, and has a love for all animals, which has led her to combine the two, and take many photos of her cats, as well as donate her time to Little Lotus Hearts. She currently lives in Brooklyn with her 3 cats, Todd, Nora and Barth, all of whom she adopted from no kill shelters.

KATIE P.

Katie has extensive experience with animals. Because her family moved so frequently while she was growing up, her dogs and cats became her dearest friends and to this day she maintains an intense bond with all animals.


She has volunteered in several equestrian centers in southern California, specifically training horses, in addition to the work she did at home to help improve the quality of life of one of her cats who struggled through life with a week heart often requiring hand feeding and constant observation. Despite her initial desire to become a marine biologist, Katie graduated from SUNY Purchase in 2002 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, specializing in photography. In order to put herself through school, she also worked as a make –up artist, which led her to her current position at Make-Up Forever, in New York .

Through her experiences in the make-up industry she has been able to participate in a number of charitable activities, including benefit fashion shows for battered women shelters, 911 relief, as well as volunteer work for a variety of independent films and photo shoots. Because make-up and photography go so well together, Katie has continued to work in both fields.

Recently, Katie lost two of her beloved dogs. Jack, a yellow lab, passed away from old age, but unfortunately, Otis, her chocolate lab, passed away from cancer. Katie’s mother’s cat, Sophie is an eighteen year old tonkenese who is fighting liver disease. For all of these reasons, Katie is proud to be able to volunteer her time and talent to helping out Little Lotus Hearts. Katie is twenty-six and lives in New York with Valentino Pellegrino, a Hemmingway cat whom she adopted from a no kill shelter in Brooklyn.

KARETH WHITCHURCH

Kareth went to school to study photography in the late ninety’s. She developed a rather theatrical style which eventually led her into the world of make-up artistry to enable her to create the effects she was seeking. This opened up a new avenue of character development and also led her into a new career as a make-up artist in Manhattan. Kareth currently enjoys a career in both worlds and is thereby able to enjoy and explore the intricacies of both industries, separately and in the ways in which they come together.


This dual talent makes her very unique and Little Lotus Hearts is tremendously grateful to her and her colleagues at Grey Skies Photography for their wonderful vision and generosity.

Kareth self proclaims to come from a long line of crazy cats and has rarely gone without one. At the moment, she lives with two (once three) lovely and neurotic kitties Bengali, Marcel and the spirit of Mimi. If you would like to see pictures and hear more about Mimi, Kareth has entrusted Little Lotus Hearts to include her in our online memorial scrapbook. We hope you will pay her a visit.

We would also like to invite you to browse our PHOTO SHOOT from our New York photo session. Come see our models acting silly and having fun with Grey Skies Photography! These photos will change on a regular basis, so please check back to see new photos throughout the year.
