The Most Meaningful Gift for Pet Parents This Holiday Season

Sometimes the people we love already have everything. But the memories they cherish most are the ones shared with their companion. This is where gifting a portrait experience becomes something truly special.

Our Olive & Fable gift certificates are thoughtful, timeless, and wrapped in the magic of storytelling. They offer a beautiful way to honor the bond someone shares with their pet and create artwork that will be treasured for generations. When you’re not sure what to give, this is the gift that feels personal, heartfelt, and unforgettable.

Each gift certificate comes in a special box and velvet envelope ready to be opened on Christmas morning!

The Definitive Guide to Cat Photography in Washington State

Cats are more than quiet companions curled up on the couch. They are graceful, mysterious, and deeply woven into our lives. Yet too often, they’re left out of the story when it comes to professional photography. At Olive and Fable, we believe cats deserve the same spotlight as their canine counterparts. By creating calm, cat-centered sessions in our Kirkland studio, we capture not just their beauty, but their essence: the slow blinks, playful pounces, and regal stillness that make them who they are.

Cat photography is an art form, and in Washington state, Olive and Fable is redefining it. Through patience, artistry, and collaboration, we’re giving cat lovers heirloom-quality portraits that honor the legacy of their feline friends for generations to come.
