Sigourney arrived by bike messenger, a wet kitten rescued from a rainstorm. The messenger said, "I can't take her with me" so she moved into our photography studio. She seeks out unique light, especially sunlight. Her specialty is customer relations. You will find her around the studio, making sure that our clients enjoy their photography sessions even though she is a bit camera shy. |
