I’m finally getting a chance to post Maeve and Johnny’s engagement session from last week.
The plan had been to go right up a mountain, but, as luck would have it, the road was closed for cars. After walking some of the way, (seriously, it looked easy from the bottom!), we quickly decided that was a too ambitious plan. The view from the bottom was fine actually. Anyway, puffing, sweating, knackered red-faces is a not good look!
Turns out the forest below was the perfect setting for J&M.
Also, it was quite hard to be serious with Johnny around. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as much on a engagement session. I was tempted to post some of Johnny’s own posing ideas but I think its best if they are kept in a ‘filing cabinet’ for future reference. Its always enjoyable to shoot couples that laugh together easily. I’m looking forward to the wedding now!
BTW: My son has just come up to the screen proclaiming, “I’ll marry that girl!” He is only four but looks like you have competition Johnny








Oooh, I love those boots.
And I love natural unexpected hugs…



Yes, thats a bookie’s docket in the back pocket. Men.


In fact… just for fun, I will post one of Johnny’s poses…

My fascination with Michael Fassbender continues. The most enigmatic man in the world. The one I would most like to shoot (with my camera of course). He is half Irish, half German, raised in Killarney, his mum is from the north. You just have to look at this picture to know there is a whole lot going on behind those eyes. I am glad to say he is going from strength to strength lately. Yes indeedy. Ever since he first said ’sorry’ I have been completely, irrevocably captivated. What a fantastic actor he has proved to be since then. 300, Hunger, Inglourious Basterds, Fishtank… He has starred alongside the likes of Gerard Butler and Brad Pitt, (completely outshining them both in my opinion!)
By the end of 2010 everyone will be in love with Michael, I am convinced!. You do know, someday I will be photographing him. In the meantime, I’ll just keep the dream alive! My major crush blog post finished. x
Just a few more snaps for the family albums. I went over to Caitlin’s house at the weekend and brought my camera with me this time! My little god-daughter is over three months old already. Look at her grow…




She smiles so big it makes her eyes water!

A certain, little girl is not pleased with ‘baaby Cat-let’ getting all the attention…

kate: these are SO natural and beautiful! I love the light! (02/07/10, 9:59 pm)
