For no other reason than the sky looked pretty, the sun was setting in 18 minutes and Ben and I had never explored this road in our 'hood before. It also gave me an opportunity to take some new portraits of B, which I hadn't done in

I kind of wanted to call this post ‘but, oh, the days are soft’ in honour of this video made by Visit Dublin. I’ve been invited – along with some of my favourite bloggers – to talk about Dublin. Well, more specifically, my Dublin. Which is quite the treat, as it

At last, I had a chance to take a breather and go through my pics from Emily's gorgeously autumnal bloggy evening, which was quite a while back now. I'm working on some very fun shoots at the moment, but sadly it means that personal shooting gets

Hope you have a lovely Hallowe'en and that a generous kids shares some of their loot with you! I took these pumpkin shots on Monday at the National Botanic Gardens, who had an incredible display.

While strolling though town last Thursday evening, Ben and I came across the Temple Bar Night Market. This being Ireland in the summer, there wasn't a whole lot of night happening! There were some great live art demos going on though. And while the stalls were a bit
