Our brood mare Princess Ruby foaled this morning. The poor girl could not have picked a worse night to birth but it was well worth it by the looks of things! Heavy breeds and draught horses are back so Ruby was crossed with a Clydesdale Stallion and this little filly foal has all the traits of that breed.

Here she is at 10 hours old:

Apologies to anyone not able to access my website this week. I am closing off the current site and launching a brand spanky new one. It may be down temporarily over the next few days during the transition.

The current client gallery pages are still accessible however on:

Thanks!

We took our eldest (he’s 10…) to the beach yesterday for the laugh. He loves it - really enjoys his swim! I have been asked for ages to get some shots of him but he’s a tricky subject. Anyway we got some good stuff for hanging at home. In case anyone has an interest in horses, he’s a gelded Irish Sporthorse, a cross between an Irish draught stallion (Prospect Pride) and a thoroughbred mare. A great all rounder who has done it all. Here are some shots:

Well another year nearly down. I am away from Saturday 22nd December until 2nd January. I will be returning for Christmas bookings only so I will respond to any other enquires received during this time as soon as I get back in January.

I’d just like to say happy Christmas to everyone and to wish you a great new year. This one has been fun!

If I’ve shot your wedding this year, thanks for having me. If I haven’t yet, I can’t wait. If your are just enquiring, follow the link to my site and leave your details!

Thanks,

(the woman of the house…)

I’ve finally gotten around to editing some shots from the newest arrival in my extended family (another Christmas present sorted!).

Lucy was born five months ago so hopefully these will be a nice reminder to her parents as to how small and cute she was when born. Here are some of my favourites:

Christmas is coming around again and the people of Killorglin have gotten in to the spirit already with launch of a Chirstmas CD for charity. The performers gave their talents for free and all the proceeds will go to the IHCPT (the Irish Children’s Pilgrimage Trust), who bring young people with special needs to Lourdes for a weeks pilgrimage every Easter. The CD will be available for sale in many outlets around Killorglin from Saturday 10th November including Sol Y Sombra, Killorglin Post Office, Falveys Bar, Nicks Restaurant, FEXCO, Killorglin Library, AIB Bank, Cafe K, Bunkers Bar, Peter Keanes (Statoil) AND Zest Cafe. It’s only €10 so don’t be shy, get another crimbo pressie sorted!

Pictured here are the organisers at the launch night in Sol Y Sombra, Killorglin.
