For the last 3 or even 4 years we have been delighted to help the Turks and Caicos Tourist Board with a photo shoot of the contestants for Miss Turks and Caicos (or Miss Earth TCI – I think it is this year?).

Photographing a wedding is a great responsibility: you can’t go back the day after asking for the replay of such a special day.

I got Estelle to finally do a photo shoot with us. Estelle who works for 
Shenisha is turning 18. What better way to start another year with some great memories for later of your 18th Birthday.
