Working with KinkNI was a blast - everyone is so unique and fun! Pup Byte was flying the pride flag and was wearing a "love is love" bandanna - and was really in the pride mood!

I was actually setting up for some other shoot - when Aloy decided to sit right in the middle of the set! This gal isn't camera shy - and I love showing off those gorgeous blue eyes she has.

Everyone was in a good mood this day, and I caught one of the boys having a happy moment being himself; where he could express himself and be who he was, uninhibited by the mundane of daily life.

Tech support agreed to help me test the new lighting equipment, and after 72 shots, we narrowed it down to a few we liked. This is one of his personal favourites - and I love how it turned out!

Dobie was a delightful client to work with - a bundle of energy and more than happy for me to take creative liberties. Using two different light boxes, I was able to generate a really nice effect causing his hood to really pop.

A trip to the bridges when I wanted to get out with my camera. Moments after this shot, my lens hood fell off onto the beach below, and with no easy access I had to walk over a lot of wet, slippy seaweed to retrieve it. Never again.

A trip to Crawford Priory - A beautiful mansion now laid to ruin after abandonment in the 1960s. This photo shows the central tower, with what remains of the grand window which would've been stained-glass at one point.

An interior shot of the Crawford Priory. The ceiling of what I assume is the main hall collapsed many years ago, and nature has begun to reclaim the once grand hall. This was my favourite shot from the trip.
