Looking for a Unique Family Portrait?

In time for the start of the summer holidays, I am pleased to announce the start of my Portfolio Programme.

The Programme is aimed at producing a range of unique family photographs based around a theme which is special to each family.

I want to talk to families with a shared passion for something – something which is personal to them and is a major feature in their lives on a regular basis.

Together we’ll use that as a theme for a family photo session featuring all the family and elements of whatever it is they do.  We’ll choose the location and the timing of the session to suit the theme.

Whether you’re mad into surfing, GAA, music or whatever, I want to hear your ideas for a family photograph with a difference.

As with previous promotions, I want to use these images for my own publicity on the web and in print. In return for your time, the session is free and you’ll get a framed print as well.

So before you head off to do whatever you do best this summer, think about whether you’d like some great pictures to remember it by.

Give me a call at 087 683 8511 or email me your ideas and we can come up with some great new family photographs.

More information, details and some more ideas are posted at https://roblambphoto.com/?page_id=488

Now this guy may be a little young for this programme – but you never know, he might make it one day…

Down the Road @ St Fin Barre’s

Cork Textiles Network are opening their annual show at St Fin Barre’s Cathedral tomorrow, Thursday 3rd June.  This year’s show is entitled ‘Down the Road’

I spent a day back in March photographing pieces for the exhibition (some still very much works in progress) so that images are now available for the programme, artists’ cards and promotional literature for the show.

It will be nice to see the finished pieces in all their glory in the Cathedral tomorrow.  The show runs until the 17th June.

Good luck to everyone involved.

Food & Wine

Two of my pictures made it to the May 2010 issue of Food & Wine magazine including this one of Brendan from Augustine’s Rocket Soup (which actually appears three times including full page on page 51)

The recipe is there too if anyone fancies giving it a try!

The Misses and I had the pleasure of dining at Augustine’s @ The Clarion on Saturday night.  Wow!  We’re still talking about some of the dishes we had.  Thanks so much to Brendan and Carol for a great night.

All this publicity is centred around the re-introduction of their tasting menu: six courses for €25.  I can  highly recommend it – 021 427 9375

Alison and Family

A big thanks to Alison and her kids (and her Mum) who were the first to take part in the Spring Promo before Easter.

Spring Promo Extended

The sessions for the Spring Promo are now in full swing.  I’ve been having a lot of fun out and about around the County and there are some lovely pictures coming out of the sessions.

The only ‘problem’ so far being that with the great weather we’ve been having it looks a bit more like summer than spring!

A big thanks to those families who have already taken part – and I’m looking forward to the rest of the sessions this month.

The galleries from the first sessions are just going out to the families involved so once they’ve had a chance to have a good look at them I’ll post a few pictures up here.

In the meantime it looks like Spring is running late and I’m worried I might not get any bluebell pictures in April so I’m considering running a couple of weekday sessions in May.

So anyone still interested in a session who would be available on a weekday in May there is still a chance to take part in the promo.   Remember the session is free and you get a free framed 8×12 print in return for you time.  I will be using the pictures here on the blog, on the website and in future publicity material for the outdoor sessions.

So call or e-mail now rob@roblambphoto.com or 087 683 8511

Danone Big Toddle for Barnardos

The publicity for this year’s Big Toddle for Barnardos launched this week.  For my part I was at Bessborough Creche, Blackrock taking pictures of Cork’s own Graham Canty supposedly bossing some preschoolers around ‘Celebrity Bainisteoir’ style – but of course the kids were having none of it!

Snow at Last

After watching all the snow in the East over the weekend we finally got ours yesterday.  We had loads of fun all afternoon with friends and neighbours out the back of the house. The boys had to be dragged in when it was getting dark!

It is all still here today and no more is forecast but this is more snow in Cork than anyone can remember.   I know I should probably be out there shooting landscapes but snowmen are way more fun.  I did do a few ‘Andy Goldsworthys’ which I’ll put together and post up here soon.

Meanwhile, take care out there and have fun.
