Two little sisters that I had the pleasure of spending a morning with recently. First I spent a little time photographing the newest member of the family:
Then I was brought upstairs so I could be read a story and see big sister’s fairy princess bedroom:
There may have been some jumping on the bed…although I can’t confirm or deny it.
Are you as sick of this rain and fog and darkness as I am? I’m so ready for spring to arrive. I have beautiful winter weddings I could be posting but I was going back over some of my summer weddings from last year and just seeing the golden sunshine and the flowers and the green cheered me up no end so I thought I’d spread the cheer. This is Amy and Conchuir’s wedding from a breezy warm weekend in July. (Aoife, who did the make up, was telling us how she was stepping back from it to concentrate on her new business The Bridal Lounge and this week not only did she win Bridal Make Up of the year at the Weddings Online Awards but The Bridal Lounge also picked up the Best Supplier Website! Congratulations Aoife and Deirdre.)
I only pulled the couple away from their guests for 15 minutes because it would have been mean to take any longer, thankfully we only had to go a few steps away to find a pocket of pretty light by the mill:
And as for the reception venue, well the Millhouse in Slane is more like a house in Provence, billowing lavender and everything. The House itself is modern and swish so it’s a mix of old and new. Amy and Conchuir’s details were wonderful, from the Battle of the Boyne centrepieces to the beer in the bathtub outside, I was spoilt.
Ahhh, I think I feel a bit warmer now!
It doesn’t get much newer than this! Today I had the wonderful pleasure of photographing a baby that was born just hours before. His Mum, Deb, is a doula and he was born at home in the early hours of this morning. When she rang me he hadn’t even had his first feed yet so I went around hoping to capture that. This is just a little taster, there are a few more over on my newborn blog.
I’m so grateful to Deb and Shaggy for allowing me to come and take these and share them here. I would love to do more of this kind of photography, in particular I’d love to photograph a birth so if you know of anyone who might be interested then please tell them to get in touch!

…well, for anyone who doesn’t know yet, Eve is going to be a big sister 🙂
It’s rare I get such an enthusiastic sibling, Honey was delighted to pose with her baby brother. More over on newborn.
