Claire Cullinane at the IAC Fundraiser

Thanks to everyone who stopped to chat at the Irish Anaphylaxis Campaign Fundraiser on Friday night.

As one of the two men in the audience, much of what she was saying wasn’t really directed at me.  She is a great speaker.  Two full hours of passion and energy about the very fundamentals of good, natural living and positive self image.  More power to her.

And from a professional perspective, I fully support what Claire is trying to do with encouraging women (in particular but people in general) to have a more positive self image: to make the best of what they have but also to accept that what they were given is pretty fantastic whatever shape it is.

If more people took this on, it would certainly make my job easier.

It was great for me to talk to so many people on the stand on Friday.  I received a very positive reaction to the work on display and I think many people now see that there is an alternative to traditional studio family portraits – and one that provides a much more natural, personal look to the pictures.

I have extended the IAC fundraiser for the rest of this week.  If you contact me to book a Session or a Gift Voucher before 7th February and mention that you saw me at the Irish Anaphylaxis Campaign fundraiser, I will donate 10% of the price of what you purchase to the IAC.
