Newborn Portraits: Oscar

Sweet
Canon 5D, 85mm, f/5, 1/320, ISO 800

Welcome back to Baby Week here on Gingerpixel! I wasn’t sure if you guys would mind me indulging in so many baby photos at once but the comments and awards(!!) and fluffy links have all been so lovely I have to say thank you to all of you. I will compose my own awards as soon as the decks clear a bit for me.

Now on to this little fella. His name is Oscar and when we first started out he wasn’t too impressed with me at all. Although it must be frustrating when even your attempts to show your displeasure are cute:

After a little feed his Mum produced this fab woolskin throw and he was much happier:

Newborn Portraits: Anna

Daddy's Girl
Canon 5D, 85mm, f10, 1/60, ISO 800

Bit of a baby fest this week! This little sweetheart is baby Anna with her daddy John. She looks so calm and was a little doll all through her time in front of the camera. She’s probably the most anticipated baby in the Irish blog world, little does she know she’s already a celeb!

This is her big brother James who’s grown so much since the last time I photographed him, he’s obviously mad about her and so gentle:

Just a little sneak peek from a session a couple of weeks ago with two newborns. Once their parents have seen them I’ll post a few more but I couldn’t resist these little toes.

Wedding Photography: Eamonn & Anna

Champers

OK, I really tried to limit myself on how many photos I posted of this wedding…no, really! Everything about it was so beautiful that it was really hard to whittle it all down. The reception and preparations all took place in the wonderfully cosy Danby Lodge Hotel in Rosslare and the ceremony was in Our Lady’s Island . The weather on the day was possibly the worst we’ve had all year…the rain was horizontal! Still, nobody seemed to mind, least of all the bride…she was so chilled out she even took the time to sit down and watch a bit of Aussie Rules before the ceremony:

The rain calmed to a soft drizzle just long enough for the bride to get inside:

Wedding Flowers

Roses

Three weeks ago I travelled down to Rosslare in County Wexford to shoot the wedding of Eamonn and Anna (my first!). I was so excited when I met them to find out that not only is Anna a wedding organiser, but Eamonn is a blogger and he and his family are the florists behind flowersmadeeasy.ie! I knew this was going to be a gorgeous wedding and it really was. Even with the monsoon-like rain that decided to arrive and stay for the whole day! They have very graciously given me permission to blog some of the photos from the day and I can’t wait to show them to you all in the next day or so, but the flowers deserve a post all to themselves:
