Dublin
Now, I can complain about the weather as loudly as the next Irish person, but one thing we do have plenty of – whether it's sunny or rainy – is gorgeous light. Here are some shots from the mixed bag that has been our summer. They include sunny weekday lunches

Impulse-bought peonies. Is there any better kind?

I adore lavender. Aside from the gorgeous calming smell (I keep a vase of dried lavender by my bed), and its amazing soothing qualities (try the Calming Blend at Wall & Keogh), I also love shooting it. Something about the straight lines of the stems, the soft, hazy purple tones,

Some pics from a Sunday stroll around Avondale House, Co Wicklow. The former home of Charles Stewart Parnell, it's a vast, really gorgeous spot, surrounded by woods, a river walk, a cute picnic area, and, luckily for us, loads of gorgeous light.

Hola! My poor camera and blog have been a wee bit abandoned these past few weeks but I'm delighted to be back hanging out with both. I absolutely love this time of year. The leaves, the gorgeous golden tones, the pretty autumnal bokeh. Drool, the bokeh... Anyway. Some

This time last week I was in West Cork with Ben, wandering around Glengarriff and Garnish Island, after shooting some stills at Sarah's amazing wedding (can't wait to share those). Some pics from our trip to the island below. Ben and I suffered from some serious

I received two gorgeous rose-themed pressies last week. Above and below, pretty potted blooms, a birthday gift from Ben. Here's hoping my fingers are green enough to keep them from dying (unlike every pot of basil and coriander I've ever bought. RIP.). Later that week I

Baby lambs! Donkeys! Daffodils! A recent trip to Airfield proved almost too much for even my well-honed spring cuteness meter. Who wants to do something new and different with a shot of a baby lamb? Okay, fine, I do, but it's so much fun to take a picture

I love, love, love seeing spring's first daffodils peeking out. They're a sign that yes, there is a grand stretch in the evening. That soon I won't be getting up in darkness and walking home at dusk. I'll be able to get

So here's what I was meant to do yesterday: Wrap up warm, drink lots of tea with Manuka honey, apply lots of Vick's, wrap presents, and watch The Muppet Christmas Carol, all in an attempt to fight off this chest infection. But here's what

So yeah, it's still freezing and snowing and just downright BRRR at the moment in Dublin. I still haven't quite been able to go on a proper photo wander in this, the prettiest of weathers, but here are a couple of shots, grabbed mainly on my
