Gareth & Shannon

Gareth and Shannon started the afternoon a little quiet and shy. The weather and light at Rietvlei Zoo could not have played along much better, so there was no reason to force the pace. We kept the beginning simple and gave them a little time to settle.

Then they started doing this thing where they would whisper to each other while I was posing them. One would say something, the other would start giggling, and whatever serious expression we had for about three seconds was gone. That ended up being one of my favourite parts of the shoot.
