Siofra | Galway Baby & Portrait Photographer

I first met Siofra’s parents, Mairead & Rory, around Christmas time last year (2009) when my wife and I were visiting a friend and they happened to be there too. Mairead was heavily pregnant at the time and I felt a little bit awkward asking her if she fancied having some pictures taken in light of us only just meeting as I was keen to get some bump shots for my portfolio. Oh by the way, that was somewhat of a hint, so if anyone knows someone who is pregnant and fancies having some shots done, then please get back in touch.

Move on a few months and when our friend Mary told me that gorgeous Siofra was born, I offered to take some pictures if Mairead & Rory were interested. I was pleasantly surprised when I got word back they were up for it, so one fine Sunday over I went for a bit of a photoshoot.

For the camera geeks out there who sometimes ask what lens I used for the specific shots. The first three images were taken with my trusty 24-70mm F2.8L lens and the last three images were taken on the amazing 85mm F1.2L II. All shots were taken without flash using natural light only.

I decided to go for a B&W theme here – enjoy!!

A little while back I posted Majella and Patrick’s sneak preview and to be honest I totally forgot to continue the original post and add some more images. I was reminded today after speaking with Majella about another totally unrelated topic of discssion.

So without further delay, I present the star of the day, young Patrick.

Rachael & Rhosyn | Galway Portrait Photography

I shot Rachael & Glynn’s wedding on New Years Eve 2009 and was over the moon when I heard they had a new addition to the family. As Rachael is back in Ireland for a few days to see her family and friends, I was asked if I could take a few snaps whilst she was over. I had heard that Rhosyn had the most amazing eyes and boy, she did not disappoint.

So without any further hesitation I am proud to introduce to you the delightful and gorgeous Rhosyn.

The shot was taken using only natural light with a 50mm f1.4 lens on my 5D. Any other questions, just leave me a comment and I will answer soon enough.
