THE LITTLE THINGS

Mammy and Me session, Cavan

A few weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of photographing this gorgeous Mama and her two handsome boys. I just have to share some of my favourites! The thing I loved so much about this session was how natural it was, there was just a tiny bit of direction but most of the photographs were capturing real moments and the geniune closeness that this trio have for each other. I think outdoor photo sessions and kids go so well together, it's a memory made, a lovely hour out wit

Stunning Outdoor Family Photography Session, Meath

The weather forecast was for rain and cloud, but what does the weather forecast know? We were blessed with the most beautiful sunny autumn day for this outdoor family photo session in Meath. We took some birthday photographs for the gorgeous baby and got some natural happy smiles with a beautiful flowery backdrop, who needs boring white backgrounds when everything you need is often in your own back garden? :-) The kids laughed and played and ran around in the sun. We got gro

Beautiful Family Session, Kingscourt, Cavan

This session just went to prove that you don't need sunshine and perfect weather to make beautiful photographs, all that matters is that you are you, and with the ones you love. I'm so happy that this family braved the freezing cold damp weather for their family session in kingscourt, cavan. We walked, we talked, the children played and we got some amazing photographs that will be cherished for years to come. Definitely a session I will remember xxx #qualifiedphotographer #au

5 min spooky Halloween photo session, Meath :-)

We spent the morning pumpkin carving, it was a horribly dull day outside- perfect for Halloween themed photographs! I grabbed the nephew, and the sister in law and took a quick detour on the way to the shop. We found an overgrown field by the side of the road, and jumped out to get some lovely halloween type photographs. This wee photography session was over in 5 mins. Short and sweet. I also grabbed a couple of sweet photographs including Mammy. Mothers spend waaaay too much

Those Autumn Vibes, family photosession, Monaghan

I loooove this time of year for photographs. The colours that nature provides for outdoor photography are so stunning. The children love to jump up and down in the crunchy leaves, or pop on their wellies and wrap up warm. My favourite thing about Autumn is the early setting sun. The sun begins to set earlier in the day, so on those sunny Autumn days if we have an afternoon session, gorgeous lighting is a definite.Earlier sunsets are great because the kids aren't so sleepy eit

Photographing at the Farm, Cavan

I bring my camera with me everywhere, my family are probably sick of it at this stage, but they realise how worth it it is when they see the photographs printed and we get to look back on them. I think the moment I became a mother was probably when my passion for photography really grew and I knew its importance, how important it is to document all those little moments, those beautiful moments that pass in the blink of an eye. This was one of those days, my toddler was having

Golden Summer Light, Mullagh Hill, Cavan

About a month ago when we had our heat wave, I bribed my son (thats usually what it takes lol) to let me take photographs of him and make the most of the rare and beautiful sunlight we were having. The minute the other half came home from work we escaped in the car and left him with the other two babas :-) It was so much fun. Its rare these days that we get some mother and son time, because usually his two baby sisters take most of my attention, to it was a great opportunity

Beauties in Saint Ann's Park , Family photo session , Dublin

Over a month ago I photographed this beautiful trio in Saint Anns Park, Dublin. The location could have been anywhere though, because all that is really required for a family portrait session is some of natures beautiful backdrops. Its not always necessary to travel to a wild and stunning location (although this is awesome!), sometimes even a corner of a garden, an empty spot on the beach, a tiny field beside the road, anywhere with a bit of greenery, flowers, texture or colo

Getting Creative!, portrait session , Cavan

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

Photographing Toddlers and Babies, Baby photography , Meath

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

History obsessed little man, Cavan

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
