Taste of Dublin
Posted on June 28, 2009
Two weeks ago I went to the Taste of Dublin, held in the Iveagh gardens for the second year in a row. As last year, the weather was great to us and the rain held off. We had a lovely day tasting food and drink from various restaurants around Dublin. The highlight of the day (and there were many!) was meeting the lovely celebrity chef Gino D’Acampo.
If you haven’t been before and you get a chance to go, I highly recommend it. Watch out for it next June.
Newborn Session ~ Isobel
Posted on June 14, 2009
During the week I was called to photograph a beautiful baby girl. We didn’t have long to do the session so it was a bit rushed. Although she didn’t sleep, she was perfectly behaved.
Here is baby Isobel at two and a half weeks old. I adore her spiky hair!
Engagement Session in Bloomfield House Hotel
Posted on May 24, 2009
John and Sue first contacted me in January in regard to their wedding photography in October this year in the Bloomfield House Hotel in Mullingar. We have chatted through emails since then but only got to meet in person this weekend. John and Sue live in England and had some wedding arrangements to finalize, hence their trip to Ireland and our meet up to take some engagement photos before the wedding.
John and Sue, it was lovely to meet you finally! I am so sorry the weather gods did not cooperate. We had plans to take some shots in the grounds of Bloomfield House and also the nearby Belvedere House Gardens and Park but we were rained out. We did get some shots in the hotel and just outside it and discussed some great ideas of where we may shoot if the weather doesn’t agree with us on the wedding day.
Safe trip back to England on the ferry and I hope you enjoyed your first time in front of my lens!
Little Miss A
Posted on May 16, 2009
Today I went to visit little miss A and her family. Some of you may remember her from my very first newborn session back in October of 2007.
This is what she was like then. She was five weeks old.
Miss A is now nearly two years old and I wasn’t sure what to expect when I knocked on the door. Well, she seemed delighted to see me and my camera again and soon started to ham it up in front of the lens!
We went in to the room we had taken most of the newborn photos in as the natural light streaming in the window is so good for photos. Miss A had a few things to show me.
First, her dancing!
Then her teeth. She has great teeth and loves to show them off!
Then I got a few serious looks.
Then she took me in to her own room. She had things to show me there too.
Her room was a shrine to Winnie the Pooh as you can see. She just adores him and had to show me all her Winnie the Pooh toys!
Upsy Daisy!
Miss A and family, it was great to see you again. I hope you like the photos!
Grainne & Thomas ~ Married
Posted on May 4, 2009
On Saturday the 2nd of May Grainne and Thomas were married in St Macartan’s church, Aghadrumsee, in County Fermanagh. The reception was held in the beautiful Belle Isle Castle near Enniskillen.
I was delighted to be their photographer and capture all the wonderful details of their wedding day. The weather was wonderful and everything went so smoothly. I don’t think they could have wished for more!
Here are a few (ok, more than a few!) photos I captured on the day. Grainne and Thomas, I hope you see this sneak peek before you head off on your honeymoon!

GCCFI Supreme Cat Show Pet Photography
Posted on April 30, 2009
On Sunday the 26th April I attended the GCCFI Supreme Cat Show held at the Roadstone Sports and Social Club in Dublin.
As well as showing three of my own cats I also spent the day taking portraits of cats competing on the day, so I was kept very busy!
Below is a sneak peek of some of the photos I took.
Engagement Session Guestbook
Posted on April 29, 2009
Today I received a guestbook back from the printer for my wedding this coming weekend in Belle Isle castle, Fermanagh.
I am over the moon at the quality of this book. It is 20 pages, 8×8 inches with hinged pages which mean they lay flat for signing.
The pages are lovely and thick and just ooze quality. There is plenty of room around the photos for your wedding guests to sign the book.
If you are thinking of getting an engagement session done (you don’t have to be engaged or getting married, these sessions suit all couples) and would like a press printed book to remember the occasion, then please get in touch. I can bring one along to your consultation or session. For now, here are some photos of the book.

Engagement Session in Mullingar
Posted on April 29, 2009
To kick off my new blog I thought I would post some photos from a fun engagement session I did last month. Thomas and Grainne are both rugby fans and it just happened that their engagement session fell on the day of the Six Nations final where Ireland met Wales in Cardiff.
They thought it would be cool to incorporate their love of rugby into their engagement session and a rugby ball was one of many props that they brought to their session. I will say no more and let you look at the photos now - I will only add that I was delighted that Ireland went on to win that evening for obvious reasons of course, but also because I think that now these photos of their session are so much more meaningful and memorable for them.
I am travelling up to Northern Ireland to shoot their wedding in Belle Isle Castle this coming weekend. I can’t wait, these guys have style!
We started the session at Captain’s Hill, Lough Owel.
Then we headed to Multyfarnham
And we finished up at the Mullingar Rugby Club
These photos make me want to be there! I love your creative angles, your depths of field and your post processing on these photos! Simply stunning.
