Marian Schembari, the Queen of Social Media

Tweet Marian and I got hooked up on Twitter. She needed some new, updated headshots for her website that would reflect her awesome personality, and I could do with a bit of a social media advice from the best girl in town. So, we traded. We met up one lovely September afternoon for a stroll…

Family photography in Regent’s Park

Tweet I honestly don’t know what’s going on, but a lot of my photography sessions lately seem to involve far away countries. I’ve had families from Canada, Saudi Arabia, the States… Granted, they didn’t quite came all the way to London only to have a pictures taken by yours truly, but I’m seriously blown away…
