Même si c’était la fin de l’été au mois d’aout dans de nombreuses régions du monde, nos adolescents étaient déjà en train de prendre des photos pour la prochaine saison de carte de vœux pour Noël. Parmi leurs clients cette année, l’entreprise Ben & Jerry qui a demandé une photo équitable et sur mesure pour leur carte de Noël d’entreprise.
