They were both so fun to work with. Rhys was the sweetest little guy wi...

By Beth Deer On August 26th of last year (Patronus’ third birthday), the Edmonton Bureau ventured to Pigeon Lake where we had the pleasure of witnessing Camp Maskepetoon in action. It was such a fun day and one of my favourite shoots I’ve ever been on. The camp was a mixture of CNIB clients and other children who had registered directly through the camp.
