Fall fun with Alex

Alex and his dad had a great day out at Appleland and I was there to capture all the fun. Alex loves trains so it was a real treat for him to get to ride one to the corn maze and back to the pumpkin patch.

 

 

I have lots of new work to post but waiting on different things to fall into place so for now here are a few iPhones snaps over the last couple of weeks. Fall is almost my favourite season, I crave my summers.

The array of colours, the real fresh smell in the air, squirrels scurrying everywhere which I find cute, they drive my beagle nuts!

Family day at High Park

Family shoot with graphic designer Sylvie, her husband Mike and baby Juliette on this glorious day in High Park. The light was so nice and Juliette was in great form the whole time.

New Born Juliette

Cute new born session with baby Juliette earlier this summer, here are a couple of my favourite shots from the day

Hayworth Vintage

I have only just realised I never blogged about one of my favourite shoots Hayworth Vintage. From the styling, hair and make-up, to the models and locations this shoot was so full of beauty and talent. We shot on a fairly cold day for the spring/ summer collection so the girls were real troopers. The location was Malahide in Dublin.

Catherine Stevens owner of Hayworth Vintage, home of one off original vintage dresses and accessories had such an array of beautiful pieces for this shoot, the girls looked like they walked straight out of the 40s & 50s. MUA Lisa pulled out all the stops to complete our vintage looks.

Travel Photography

In the last couple of months I have been to Morocco, South Africa, Swaziland and Vietnam shooting travel photography. Each country was an incredible unique experience and I can't wait to share my photos with you. They can't be released until October so for now enjoy some instagram snaps

New York

This trip to New York was very special to me, it was a long overdue trip to the big apple with my mom who is my best friend. We first went to a family wedding in Saddle River, NJ. It was my second cousin Paul marrying lovely Anna Marie. We thoroughly enjoyed their wedding from the cute chapel to all the hand painted pots which decorated the reception that Anna Marie's mom made, to the bride rocking it out on the drums with her band, such a fun couple and fun day. I wasn't shooting this wedding but here are a few moments I captured on the day.

There were some adorable little boys at this wedding, looks at these cuties.

Then came our mother daughter time in Manhattan! 

We had the best time, we did not stop, covering so much ground both day and night. Took in a show, Priscilla Queen of the Desert which was hilarious, the perfect mother daughter night out. We chatted with Helena Christensen in Anthropologie, spotted David Hasselhoff coming out of the theatre and got kicked out of Hogs and Heifers for treating it like a museum LOL! 

We had a gorgeous dinner at ABC kitchen, which is heaven, a lovely brunch at Balthazar and ate tons of cupcakes from Magnolia bakery. Not to mention the shopping, amazing boutiques. The best fun was cycling across the Brooklyn Bridge and around Central Park, so touristy I know but its got to be done. Definitely got some dodgy rental bikes in Central Park ;)

Here are a few of my favourite pics from the trip

I really fell in love with the store Free People when I was there, so geeky but I took snaps of the store interior, the one near Rockefeller Centre.
