Something I’ve been dying to do for ages is photograph twins and I got my opportunity a couple of weeks ago. These two brothers were so well behaved and when I put them down together they immediately linked arms.
I’ve taken a lot of baby photos this month…a very good thing for me since I love them but I’m aware that I don’t want to swamp the blog with too many of them and bore you all. I hope you guys don’t mind if I share a couple though if I space them out a bit. I bought a macro lens with this shot in mind and am so happy with how it turned out. I’ve never had a steady hand though so it’s a bit of a challenge for me to keep things sharp.
I wasn’t sure if it was going to happen, so I had to keep quiet and try not to jinx it for ages…newborn.ie was featured in the Irish Times Magazine today and I just got back from the shops where I picked up 1 or 2 (ok, ok…5 ahem) copies. The article is in the online edition here.
I have a bit of soft spot for photographing newborns…you might have noticed 😀 . A few months ago I was sitting on the DART (the birthplace of many schemes and plans) and I had the thought that since I love it so much why not set up a website completely devoted to newborn photography? As soon as I got home I went online and checked to see if newborn.ie was taken…it wasn’t! I quickly registered it and have been working on it over many late nights ever since.
It’s now ready, in fact it’s been up for a couple of weeks as I know some of you have already discovered it, but I’m officially launching it, well, now!
So, what’s the protocol here…do I smash a bottle of champagne over my monitor?
*PS: The beautiful baby that you see in this post is Mike. His parents were among those who kindly gave me permission to use their children’s photos in my gallery. Thanks guys!
I recently ordered some photobooks and they arrived just a few days ago. I’m so impressed with the quality, they’re just yummy. The print quality is spot on, the pages are the perfect thickness and everyone I’ve shown them to just loves the idea of having photos displayed this way. This one was the smallest one and is a dinky 7×7. I can’t wait for Daniel’s Mum to see it!
