Valerie Macmichael, Elegance of Old (PEOPLE 2023)

A maternity shoot for a work friend and my pet snake Stevie. The snake was a definite after thought as the shoot was over, but she wanted a hold of Stevie and I seized the moment to snap a few late images, and wow, what a combination. The last shot of the day was the best shot.
