Cillian Murray @ 3 months

October 10th, 2011

Yesterday morning, I met with 3 month old Cillian Murray and his mum Linda for the second of his year of bliss shoots.  It never ceases to amaze me to see the development of these beautiful children during their first year.  You may remember Cillian from a couple of months ago when he was just 2 weeks old, hasn’t he changed !

Newpark Hotel with Sheila and Stephan

September 29th, 2011

The week before last Clare and I were priviliged to share Stephan and Sheilas big day with them, and record memories for them to enjoy for many years to come.  There ceremony was held in the parish church at Conahy, Co. Kilkenny, which looked absolutely wonderful for the occasion. Our bride arrived on time to the surprise of many guests, who were left running to get in before her.  Sheila looked amazing wearing a lace and diamond effect dress and was obviously the centre of attention.  After the ceremony we went on to do some shots at Jenkinstown Park and then back to the Newpark Hotel which was decked out to it’s usual high standard.  We did some more family shots here in the lovely garden at the back of the reception room, where the weather just about held up for us.  I’m told the party went on very late into the night, and will be remembered fondly by all those who attended.  Sheila and Stephan then jetted off to sunnier pastures to enjoy a well deserved honeymoon.  Here are a small sample of the images from the day.

Year of Bliss – shoot 2

August 6th, 2011

I had the pleasure of photographing the great grandson of a famous Kerry man who lived in Kilkenny for many years.  Con O’Shea was a gentleman that I was happy to call my friend. I had many long and educational chats with him but sadly he’s no longer with us. Yesterday I got to shoot Con jnr for the second of his year of bliss shoots.  Con is 3 months now and it’s amazing to see the difference that a couple of months make.  Con is a gorgeous little guy, full of smiles.  A year of bliss shoot documents a baby’s first year with photo shoots at newborn, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, all combined and presented in a beautiful album at the end of the year.  Here are some of the shots from yesterdays shoot.
