I had shared a couple of sneak peek shots from this shoot before (see them here), so thought it might be fun to post pics of what the piece looked like in the mag. Working with graphic designers has immensely improved my photography over the years ā from learning about colour
I'm very excited to share some pis of Sam, Ben's sister Megan's beautiful baby boy (and yes, that does mean he's Uncle Ben now, ha!). Just a couple of weeks old, he is adorably tiny, quiet, beautiful (above pic taken by his
