Project 365. One photo everyday for a year...

February 19th 
After a nice, well deserved lie in today and a nice outing for family breakfast, I came home put on my comfy clothes and began to work. These are my new socks, long, thermal, ribbed and toasty warm :) Photo done, back to work.



February 18th 
Day 2 in Newry and another 10 gorgeous girls to shoot :) This girl was the last of the day, a complete natural in front of the camera and hair that went on forever. Great two days, wonderful people working as a team and a million images to sift through, welcome to my world. I it.




February 17th 
First day in Newry shooting with the sugahfix team again and 10 beautiful girls, actually 9 and 1 very shy boy :) The images are still a working progress but this is one of my favourites from todays shoot.

Another day when i realised it was late and I still had no photo...Just as I was about to close my curtains I took a quick snap out my window. I love the combination of the vertical stripes, the condensation and rain on the window and the orange glow of the street light. Bed time, busy two days ahead :)

Project 365. One Photo everyday for a year...

February 13th 
So today my computer has been taken away to be cleaned and updated and will be returned all shiny and new. I now realise how much I rely on this machine and how much I love to edit, I was so bored! It was nice to relax and do nothing for a night though, I lay on my bed and stared at this dream catcher. It's been on my celing for years... this was my entertainment fot the night so it only felt right to photograph it :)

  Just another day to spread some Love I bought these balloons specially with this photo in mind. After blowing up all 12 and having a sit down to dispell the dizziness and light headness I was ready to begin. They say never work with animals and kids, I say balloons is next on the list.  They didnt sit where I wanted, they were impatient, as soon as I turned my back they were on the move again, it took way longer than the 5minutes I thought but I liked these two. Happy Valentines day everyone :) 

February 15th 
I spent an hour this morning visiting my cousin and her wee bundle of joy Kacey :) Such a happy wee baby, always smiling. I left in a great mood, cant wait to go back for more.

Richard this is for you :) This is Nelly the goat, although after meeting her today I think she thinks she's a dog. She was a little unsure of my camera but after a while she was very affectionate and I think she even tried to kiss me but I politely turned away :)  A very happy goat and soon to be mum :)



February 11th 
This is one of my fav shots from today's test shoot with the lovely Katrina Dornan from Sugahfix.com. It's always fun out with the sugahfix girls and today was no different. Great way to start the day and the rain stayed off :) Model. Rebecca Taylor Hair: Paul Stafford salon, Lisburn Road. Make up: Sairah C Toner. Creative directing and styling: Katrina Doran. All clothes and accessories provided by Jacob Street, Lisburn Road.

Today we had a Baby Grand in the studio along with the very talented Pianist Jonathan Rea and equally talented Violinist Alan McClure . A morning of listening to great live classical music was a rare treat and I found myself having a wee tinkle on the piano when no-one was about :) This is a wee sneaky shot of Jonathan rehearsing, I think he was getting used to the cameras in his face at this stage :)

For the ♥ of Vintage...
