Recently I was in California for a very special photographer’s workshop. As part of the workshop, I took part in an incredible styled maternity session with Kym, the mom-to-be. Featured today are highlights from the session, which I have been waiting patiently to share. Step inside for a closer look.

His trust in me to represent his family well means the world to me. It’s often said that good work earns the respect of your peers. Hopefully I can take Paul’s trust as a small sign that I’m headed on the right track.
