There are two different types of Newborn Photography, there is the traditional posed Newborn photography, which is usually studio based and uses special posing, bean bags and all sorts of props and cute outfits. Traditional Newborn photography focuses mostly on the baby, and sometimes includes family members. This type of Newborn Photography must take place within the first two weeks of the babies life, and can take hours of careful posing to achieve the beautiful finished pr

I have to say this was one of my favourite sessions this year. Theres nothing more beautiful than newborn babies, their little wrinkly hands, their funny expressions, their cute yawns, cries and movements. I'm a mother of 3 and photographing newborns just brings me back there, to those first few weeks when you bring them home, the love you feel is overwhelming, everything is overwhelming! And the time just flies by so quick and before you know it they're running around, wreck

Photography is an art, a beautiful art! I love nothing more than to get a bit creative on photoshoots and when the opportunity presents itself there's nothing better. Photographs that capture natural smiles, natural laughs, emotions and gestures are what I aim for. That's not to say that a big part of me absolutely loves moody photography.  Poetic and serious, this type of photography never fails to stir emotion. I love it! I had a gorgeous family session a while ago, the you

Basically there's no simple recipe for photographing toddlers and babies. They generally don't take direction, they don't stay still, they make strange, and sometimes they don't want their photo taken at all. The most important factor for me when photographing these little ones, is to make sure that they have fun and to bring props and toys for them to interact with and focus on. If the photo-shoot has a fun atmosphere and the toddler is allowed to be themselves and run aroun

Location scouting yet again we went to the Deer Forest Park in Virginia. We skipped stones, collected rocks and climbed trees. We discovered an old boat house with the beautiful Lough Ramor behind it, we wandered through the forest and picked wildflowers, Deer Forest Park is a beautiful location for outdoor photographs. Thunder storm abrewing, we then headed to the Cavan Musuem in Ballyjamesduff, where my history obsessed little man was in his element. He was dressed in his f

It seems summer is finally here! Ive become so accustomed to taking photographs in dull light that having the sun make an appearance can be a challenge sometimes! But I love a challenge :-) I shoot only in manual, which means every time the sun goes behind a cloud- I have to re-expose, every time I move from light to shade, I have to re-expose, every time I re compose I have to re expose , you get my drift! A couple of weeks ago I was asked to do a photoshoot for a couple of

A couple of weeks ago I had a wonderful Communion Session. Now in hindsight I can admit that I was TERRIFIED about this photosession- the reason?, it was at 1.30, on one of the sunniest days of the year. In Ireland we have few sunny days so I was a little nervous. The sun would be at the highest spot in the sky, not a cloud in sight- and what does this mean in photography terms?- it means unflattering shadows and blown out highlights. Nightmare!!! I spent the night previous r

I bring my camera with me everywhere. I'm always on the look out for inspiration and photo opportunities. I love candid moments! I love to capture everyday life, my children's adventures , those little mannerisms and expressions. When I started photography as a teenager, I was obsessed with street photography. I used to bring my old camera into Dublin city center, and with a telephoto lens, I'd take photographs of fleeting moments, interesting characters and gestures.  I was
