Met these crazy cats last night and boy, did we had a blast exploring all sorts of terrain. And let me tell you, in the second photo, I'm knee-deep in a pond, dealing with some seriously squishy stuff between my toes. The things we do for the perfect shot! 😅📸

Proud dad with his two adorable kids 🥰🥰

Yesterday evening me and my chauffer (my Dad) headed out to Mt Hutt to meet up with this gorgeous family.
The weather held out most of the time for us as we explored around and had fun collecting rocks and looking at salmon.

The other week I had the privilege of capturing the yumminess and fun down

At the end (or sometimes middle...or even beginning 🤣) of a shoot it's fun to get messy! Usually that involves water or mud 🤣🙈
I LOVE it when gets get stuck in and get all messy. It usually brings out the biggest joy and the worry of getting photos just melts away.

Finished up this cute wee gallery today. Every time I shoot at the gardens I stumble into new spots and the lighting is different and it feels like the first time shooting there 🥰

Just a little Kitty love for your Thursday afternoon 🥰

Sometimes kids cheeks are just too squishy you just gotta squeeeeeeeeze 'em
