Lockdown light

Last weekend was spectacular. It is hard to imagine that there is pain being felt outside of my bubble here in Raheny. This Coronavirus Lockdown business is deceiving in that way.
The sun was shining and BBQ smoke wafted as we sat in the sunny spot drinking white wine.

I took part in a very inspiring online workshop/webinar with Australian and New Zealand photographers Chloe Lodge and Cindy Cavanagh who were talking about photographing light and colour in our surroundings and how we should try and be more aware of the light that falls near us everyday.

So I took out my camera and captured a bit of this and that around me and relished in the fact that it was JUST FOR ME. Here are a few shots.

Some fluffy help...

It’s one of those ‘aha’ moments when you realise how something is done.  Those gorgeous natural smiles you see on my portrait portfolio, they are proper natural smiles! None of your cheesey-grinning stuff here, no way. These are proper smiles, like your kids are really properly smiling AND enjoying themselves! Want to know how I do it? This fluffy fella here is all I need!  My trusty tickle stick or (feather duster), whatever way you see it, it really doesn’t matter. It is my true and tried secret weapon of choice to bring out the best smiles and laughs in your family photos. It never fails me (well sometimes it does, some kids have a thing about pink feather dusters!) BUT mostly they adore it! The results are magic and beautiful and just adorable.   Well, now you know. My secret is out. Off you go and get yourself a brand new tickle stick of your own. Or you could just come to me and I will show you how it’s done! Contact me here to make a booking.
