It was a very windy and bitterly cold Sunday afternoon when we met at Ballinahinch for Michelle and Gavan's engagement session. Getting out of my car the door nearly got blown off, so I knew we were in for some fun times! Thankfully the rain held off for the hour that we were out shooting, and we got some great photos too.
See you in December Michelle and Gavan :).jpg)

Yesterday I had the great pleasure of photographing the wedding of Melissa and Craig. They came all the way from Montreal, Canada to getting married atop the Cliffs of Moher, Co. Clare, and what a place it was to get married! The ceremony, a barefoot ceremony, was performed in the grass in front of O'Brien's Tower and had many spectators!! I hope everyone at the wedding had as great a time as I did, from my viewpoint you all certainly seemed to have a fantastic time and I'm sure it went on long after I had to leave! Enjoy the rest of your trip to this side of the Atlantic :)

I recently had the great pleasure of shooting some portraits for a fellow photographer, and her mom. Aaryn and her mom Anne came all the way over to Ireland to check out our lovely island and wanted some portraits done together while here. And they chose me! We had a lovely time on a very rare very sunny and warm Galway summer day! It was a pleasure to meet them both, and thanks so much for lunch :)
Hey everyone,
Things have been really busy around here recently, from christenings, equus and portrait sessions. I've been editing non-stop and I'm almost finished with the latest session now, whew!!
We got the planning permission for our beautiful new home, so we now have to wait a few more weeks and then we can start working on the site. There's quite a bit to be done before we can start building, but we figure the sooner we start the sooner we'll be in the house!
Back in February in Boston we stayed in the Sheraton hotel on Dalton Street. Amazing hotel, with even more amazing beds. Listening to Ray D'Arcy on Wednesday morning I heard that you can actually buy the beds on line at Westin Hotels at home I haven't been so excited about a piece of furniture in so long, if ever!! I've checked the plans of our house and I'm pretty sure the California King size bed will be a future purchase for us! Yay!!
Mia is doing great. My study of this lovely girly is still continuing and is coming along great. She's now backed for the past month or so and is doing just fine with that thankfully. She will be going for schooling at the end of August in a yard only 10 minutes from us. We'll be calling in often to visit her and make sure everything is going ok. I've a feeling I'm really going to miss her while she's gone!
I best get back to my editing now. Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine of the last few days, its been so hot here!

I recently decided that I want to do a detailed photographic study of the equine, more specifically my equine. I have the honour of sharing my life with this wonderfully affectionate, intelligent, stubborn, confident and oh so funny 4 year old. I want to capture everything that makes Mia what she is. Her strengths, her weaknesses, her personality, everything. I have already selected a few of my past photos to include in the study, and I hope to add to them with many more over the coming months.

I've been so bad at keeping my blog up to date, smack on the wrist to me! I have been very busy the past few months, here's a snippet of whats been happening.
My lovely fiance and I spent a wonderful week in Boston where we witnessed a snowstorm and its aftermath, cold but gorgeous! Suprisingly we didn't have a snowball fight, does this mean we're getting old!? Nah, no chance of that!
We've also been busy designing our house and getting that ready to submit planning permission to the local council. The engineer said that it would be put in either yesterday or early next week, so finger crossed for us. We'll know if we have permission in roughly 6 to 8 weeks. I have my south facing studio and office all planned into the house and I can't wait to get in there! I've started picking out paint colours and furniture already, getting a little ahead of myself but thats what excitement does!
Mia, my beautiful Thoroughbred mare has also been keeping me on my toes. I have done all her training and work in preperation for backing her myself. She is now ready to be backed so I'm very excited about that. She's been getting on really well now that she's moved home with us and everybody loves the big cheeky monkey that she is!
I've also been putting together my website. Its in its final stages now, I think, and will be up and running soon. Of course I'll post a link here as soon as its done.
Hope everyone is enjoying the nice May weather (between the showers, but it is Ireland so is to be expected!).

First Holy Communion that is! This is an image from a Communion session I did 2 years ago for my niece. It was a wonderful day and I love reliving it through the photos.
I am offering a 10% discount on the session price for the first 5 people who quote me "communion" when booking their very special day sessions.
Book early!!

Hope everybody has a great Holiday Season, and Santa brought everybody the gifts they wanted!
Things have been very busy around here, with getting our new arrival settling in, designing a house and new advertising, then Mia being unwell for a couple of weeks.
This is a photo I took while waiting for the vet to come take a look at Mia, he eventually came about 5 hours later, but was worth the wait!
Will update the site more soon, promise.

We spent this past weekend visiting friends in Strandhill, Sligo. Spent Sunday on the beach and everybody had a great time!
I'm working on my wedding packages on the moment and the information will soon be available on here.

My lovely turns 23 today, happy birthday sweetpea. I'm going to the supermarket at lunch to buy all the makings of his fave dinner (steak and chips, with black forrest gateau for after). I hope he's having a great day, and not working too hard.
I'm still working on advertising and my business cards at the moment. Its a lot of work, but its getting there, and then it'll all be shipped off to the printers, woohoo!!
Holga bokeh goodness!!

I always have a camera in my hand, or at least 90% of the time!
I was taking some shots of Peadar last night and while doing so I was telling him that he'd got much better with having the camera around (at first he hated having his photo taken).
He said he hadn't, that he just learned its easier to accept its going happen, the camera will be pointed at him, and his photo will be taken! He's so patient with me and the camera.
He's the greatest :)

a short one, maybe 20 minutes. Got some air. Cleared the head. Got some shots. What more could I want!!
Read more...and incredibly so at that. Still working on the wedding photos from last week. Its a slow but enjoyable process, one that is taking up most of my time. But thats ok, i love doing it.
I have decided on a course (photography obviously!) that I hope to be starting soon. Its a correspondance course, and it seems to be perfect for me in everyway. I'm so excited about it too!
I'm going in 15 days for an operation, a minor one, but my first ever. Slightly nervous but I know its for the best, and hopefully will be life changing!
Here's a small sample from the wedding shots, the first possibly being my fave out of almost 1000 photos!!
Take care.
Bobbi
Finally, I have my blog up and running! I hope to use this blog until I can get a proper site up and running.
Just did my first wedding shoot yesterday, it went really well. I hope to have some shots of it up here within the next couple of days. Until then, here's some of my previous faves...
