Good morning guys. I'd like to say thank you for joining my Patreon channel right from the start. To reward this, I changed the coaching trier to an early bird offer. Only the first 25 patrons will get the price you did.

My very first shoot with beautiful Julia Liepa in Moscow. The studio resided me a bit about Harry Potter movies, so we created some kind of Hogwarts College style shoot for this session. A grown up version :)
Enjoy!
