Our good friends Kevin and Angelina, after two and a half years here in Ireland, are moving back to California at the end of the week. Before they leave, Angelina asked me to take some portraits of them and I jumped at the chance to have willing subjects (other than poor Eve who thinks her mother looks like a Canon lens) to practise my portrait-taking on. I’ve wanted to take photographs down on Sandymount beach for ages so I suggested we try it out as a location and, although the bright sunlight made it a challenge to find angles where they weren’t forced to squint, I’m happy with how they turned out. It was a lot of fun too.
We’re really going to miss them both when they leave. Who is Matt going to talk computers with? And who am I going to talk blogging with?!
A little cheesy? Maybe, but this is my attempt at a Tara Whitney shot and I kind of like it:

Oo these are gorgeous photos… must hire you to take some blurry ones of me sometime!
Great shots–flattering to both subjects and capturing their affection for each other
Ah they’re lovely, the first one especially.
very good indeed. especially the last one
Yes, great work!
They’re really lovely shots. I bet they don’t think the last one’s cheesy
Indeed, the shots are lovely. I bet it’s easier to take photos of people you really like. Cause I think the photographer’s view shines through.
Thanks everyone, what you say is true Omani, it’s very easy to take photos of people I like as much as these two.
