Taking photographs always throws up some unexpected situations, which I love as it keeps me on my toes.  On a Gorgeous July evening I was at Fahan Pier, with the highest tide I have ever seen there, and Mario taking some shots of my niece. We arrived and took some portrait shots with Molly and her mum, my sis, did her usual chat away to anyone thing.  so next thing I know I am taking photos of a family who had just come to have a walk on the beach.  My sister started chatting to the Dad and in the converstion realised he had lived beside her husband for years and knew them very well.  He had moved away to America and had brought his family back to Ireland for a holiday.  What were the chances of them being both there that night.  I do believe in fate and of course it ended up in a mini shoot with them, after a long chat.

A beautiful family to talk to and photograph, all very natural in front of the camera.  They now have a memory from their holiday to keep in photos.

MOLLY AT FAHAN

An unplanned trip to Lisfannon, county Donegal, with a great bunch of people and the Fantastic Jay Doherty. Loved it. A mini workshop on portraits and evening flash work. love Jays attitude and his easy way of teaching… He loves what he does and even better he loves showing others what he loves.. Thank you to the two models Niomi and Shauna, two gorgeous easy to work with girls. Hope you like the results. xxx Jay Doherty Photography

Practice, practicE, practice !!!  From some recent training days with a great group of photographers in the studio and on location at Beechill Hotel in Derry.  I love to get together with other photographers to see their styles and how they shoot compared to myself.  We had the gorgeous Lauren in Mark Hamills studio early on in the spring and the gorgeous Daniel and Michaela in the Beechill Country House few weeks later.  The AMAZING car was driven by Bear Gamble and added a touch of class to the shoot.

STUDIO WITH lAUREN

Recently I had the pleasure of taking the Beautiful Ella on her First Communion in the grounds of The Beechill Hotel, Derry.  We had a walk through the grounds and little sister Isla wanted to play and run in the wet grass.  I think you will agree they looked so happy with Mum and Dad.  We managed to get some great shots before the rain came down. Congratulations Ella!!!
