Not my day job…

So I have been promising some cuddly animal photos since I got back from the wedding I shot at Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, so here you are. Some of them aren’t quite so cuddly. It was a bit of a break from the normal day to day and I won’t be shooting for National Geographic …

Why family photos are awesome!!!
