Back to School

It’s been a busy Summer and although things have been quiet on the blog, it’s been quite the reverse in the office. I’ve been planning a lot of things to post up here so I’ll start rolling them out over the next few weeks and months (and it’s not all shameless publicity).

In the meantime with the schools back tomorrow we’ll be returning to normal office hours. So I’ll be here 9-10 and 2-3pm every day so that anyone can drop in without an appointment.

Outside those hours I’ll be here unless I need to be somewhere else. So it’s likely I will be in the office but it’s generally best to call and make an appointment to make sure.

That said I have a wedding booking this Friday (30th) so won’t be here at any stage that day.

Communion Studio Sessions

Following the success of last year’s Studio sessions in the Gallery on Communion Days, we’re offering the same packages again this year.

These sessions are designed to be a convienient way to drop in to the Gallery on the day of your child’s First Communion.  They last around 10 minutes and there is no session fee.

Ten minutes doesn’t sound like a lot but you’ll get a range of images of everyone you bring into the Gallery that day.  Of course we’ll get a range of solo portraits of your son or daughter on their day.  But there is also time to get pictures with their siblings, grandparent, godparents and don’t forget the parents of course.

There are only a number of 10 minute slots available on each Saturday in May so it’s best to enquire as early as possible if this is something that would suit you and your family.

The panel below gives a good idea of the range of images from a session last year.  I’ve also posted more information about the different kinds of sessions and the package prices but feel free to call in to get more info.

Gallery sessions will also be available for Confirmation sessions in most of the local schools.  Contact us for more.

Photographing Kids at Play

It’s nice to get a surprise sometimes.  As I dropped the kids in to school one morning I was greeted by one of my own images on a Poster on the wall.

Pre-school kids hard at work

I took this picture as part of a project for Cork City Childcare some time ago.  The aim was to produce a series of posters and other Artwork but until now I’d not seen any of the final pieces.

It still has to be one of the most challenging and enjoyable jobs I’ve done.  Challenging because it was completely candid – no set-ups, no lighting, just capturing the kids at free play.  And enjoyable because it was just that:  kids at free play.  A lot of great kids having a great time just being kids.

It’s still a good feeling to see your work in a public context – especially when you least expect it!
