Day at the beach with The Green Family

blog 1Mairead and Micheal are another family that have been with me since the start of my photography venture in Ireland. I first photographed little Lauren when she was just seven months old and she was the cutest little girl. She loved the camera which made my work so easy. I then was asked to photograph her 1st birthday party which was a great day and helped alleviate the stress of taking photos on a very busy day for them. Now, nearly two years later they have a new little edition to their family, Conor, who is just as adorable as his sister.blog 6

Taking advantage of the summer we set off to Balbriggan Beach for the family shoot. The day was cloudy but as a photographer I cannot stress how much a few clouds help to create great shots. Lauren just ran around the beach having fun and we all ran after her getting soaked in the process. Lesson learned when doing a beach shoot, don’t wear shoes and bring a change of clothes! The photos were natural and full of emotion, I am so happy with them.

This blog is a huge tribute to Mairead and Micheal who I don’t see just as clients but as friends. I look forward to working with you for the years to come. You guys are are so lovely. xxx

Rebecca and Savannah Kelly

Savannah and Rebecca had won my Toddlers Portrait Competition and although she was thrilled, Rebecca had her heart set on a beautiful day where we could work in St Annes Park and get the most out of the natural light and colours as we could. So, after many, rainy day postponing the day had finally arrived. Both Mum and daughter looked beautiful and Savannah was great to work with. One big learning curve though, stay well away from the playground if you want a shoot to carry on longer! Thankfully we had got most of the shots we wanted and left Savannah to play away. Really happy you like the photos girls, was great to meet you both. xx

Linda, Colin and Senan

When I decided to get back to my Art in Photography at the end of 2013, I approached my friends Linda and Colin who had just had their first child, Senan. They were really warm and happy to have me take their portraits to build my portfolio.

Starting back in photography after leaving it alone for a couple of years is very daunting and if it wasn’t for these guys as well as a couple of other families, (you know who you are) I wouldn’t be working as happily and as hard as I am to do the thing I love most in the world. Naturally I was a bit rusty but they were happy with the photographs and gave me honest positive feedback which helped me grow as an artist. Ever since then Linda and Colin have supported me and recommended me to so many people.

Nearly two years on I have watched little Senan grow into a beautiful young boy, full of character and charm. This time we chose the beautiful Royal Hospital Kilmainham and made the most of the summers’ day that we had. It turned out to be a perfect location for Senan to run freely all over the place and capture him at his most natural.

He has filled their lives with love and happiness. Its just so wonderful to be able to take such special moments over the years and represent them for the family to cherish forever.

Thank you Linda, Colin and Senan xxxx
