Ruby Ruby Ruby Rubyeeeee!!!! 21.2.12

Sweet little Ruby Jeanette Cooke had my heart absolutely melting the moment I met her.  January had been a month full of family & newborn shoots and I will admit I was getting a little bit to the point where I needed to shoot something other than a baby, but then I met Ruby. Awwwh! The broodiness is gushing out of me can you tell?

Ruby’s mummy Janet is a midwife and since I shot her & Alan’s beautiful wedding day in August 2010 ( yes that’s right – another of my wedding couples) we have had many lengthy and sometimes ‘graphic’ conversations about , well, labour, pain relief, feeding, and in general being a mum – mostly all in front of Alan I might add who is just immune to all this talk by now – anyway – the point I am trying to make is Janet has taken to motherhood like a duck to water…it just seems so perfectly easy and natural for her and it is really beautiful thing to behold.

Here’s a few (long awaited) shots from their session with me. x

 

 

Imogen 16.2.12

You may remember the very beautiful wedding of Kathryn & Mark which I shot last June, well they have now added another little member to their family, Baby Imogen.  She is almost 3 weeks old in these pictures, wide awake and cute as a button.  Her big brother Alfie was so good the entire time, and believe me (my photographer friends will agree with me on this) when someone books you to shoot a 2 year old with a newborn, a slight worry takes over as it is one of the most difficult combinations…but, pleased to say on this occasion it worked out well.

Kathryn fits the ‘yummy mummy’ description perfectly – her figure is amazing and her toned arms fill me with envy! She is a joy to photograph as the camera just loves her! Daddy Mark is such a poser ( not!) he makes me laugh each time as he really is not the biggest fan of my camera – but he  will always oblige me…secretly hoping that each event I photograph surely might be the last…LOL!

Here are a few of my favourites from their session. x

Keri & Leo 10.2.12

I thought since this is Valentine’s Day a little love on the blog would be appropriate and so I am letting my wedding from the weekend skip the queue….dont worry – 2 beautiful baby posts coming very soon. So on Friday I shot my first wedding of 2012.  It was wonderful. It was old hollywood [...]

Miceál 1.2.12.

This is Baby Miceál. Born on Boxing Day 2011 – it was quite a Christmas for his parents Roisin & Michael who weren’t expecting this little man until the 9th Jan….but I guess he just couldn’t wait to meet them. So at almost 5 weeks old Miceál was a little bit past the ‘newborn’ stage. [...]

Harrison is one! 26.1.12

This is little Harrison – you may recognise him, or his mummy & daddy as we have done many shoots together now. Ive clicked when Sharon & Gareth got engaged, said their “I do’s”, when Harrison was just a ‘bump’ and also when he arrived. And now he is one year old already.  And he [...]

Malo. 25.1.12

I was so excited to meet little 14 month old Malo.  I had the pleasure of photographing Rhona & Nicolas gorgeous sunny wedding in 2009 and they were definitely one of my favourite couples ever. They live now in France with their beautiful wee son and another little bump on the way for March.  It [...]
