Ben is a photographer and friend from way back when we started sharing a studio almost 14 years ago. 14 years!!! He is a pretty awesome person with the most genuine personality, and all who know him would agree that he adds a spark to any room. He is funny, caring, ambitious, humble, and incredibly childish LOL, which I think is why all adults enjoy his company and all kids want to be his friend. He is also very clever, and finds ingenious ways of sharing his world and his work – he is very open and generous with his time and his ideas. You may already know his face, if not his name (pr maybe the other way ’round), and I am super honoured to have been asked to take a few snaps of him – proper ones this time, rather than the hundreds of stand-ins I have subjected him to over the years (mostly holding a cereal bowl or something with tuna & beetroot in it). Having said that, these official ones are probably a bit bland as they definitely don’t capture his personality.

Deanne is one of those multi-skilled people who are excellent at absolutely everything they do. Yep – not only is she utterly gorgeous, but she runs multiple successful enterprises as well as teaching Yoga, acting & modelling, and (leaving the best ’till last), parenting 2 of the most wonderful little people you will ever meet. She is also a great person. I know, right?!
