Back in the early spring, I had a couple of visitors.  The one, Celine McKay, was an old friend from back home.  She now runs a beautiful publication, Pure Green Magazine.  The other was a local photographer, who's work I've admired for a while now; Rebecca Wood.  Celine had asked us to get together so they could do a feature on my workspace for the current issue of the magazine, Inspired Workspace.  

We met up at the Common, a favourite coffee shop of mine, had a nice chat, then headed back to my home/workspace for more photos.

It was so wonderful to catch up with Celine after so many years.  We'd been friends in high school, and as these things go sometimes, had lost touch over the years proceeding.  She now runs this magazine and has recently become a new mother, so we had a lot to catch up on!

Below are some photos from the feature, as well as some outtakes, all captured by Rebecca.  They were both so lovely to work with, and it was such a great day spent with two great women.
