I am in the process of getting my studio rebuilt which is super exciting! I would love to offer some Easter shoots which will include a rabbit (a more friendly one that the one I used last year) I can’t set dates until we know when the rebuild will be finished so I will keep everyone updated with that. I will also be able to do more bunny photos later on in the year with our own bunny☺️ please leave a comment if you are interested so I can put you on my list to contact when I have more info

It’s going to be another exciting week, picking up this little cutie! Hopefully down the track we can use him for bunny photos but for now we just get in enjoy him and hopefully keep the other animals away from him. Meet the newest member to the Connell family. I think our middle child has decided on the name NIBBLES
