castle espie

So, while Kenny is in Cairo photographing pyramids, Comhan, Mila and I were looking for pals to hang out with for the day. Our friend Adam and I took all five kiddos to Castle Espie, one of our favourite places. There are ducks, geese, swans, bridges, blackberries, gates, flowers and heaps of great wee paths for tearing about on. Connor and Joel took us to their special jumping place after we’d managed to nab a quick caffeine fix - and it was indeed a good jumping place.

There was some really great light under the trees, which meant I got some great pics of Lily’s gorgeous gingery hair. Isn’t she just so beautiful! ~Thanks Smith family for letting me take pics of your gorgeous gorgeous children.
Look at the colour of this girl’s hair. I love it!

So this young scamp here was a right monkey to photograph and had me figured out instantly. I was nearly defeated by a 2 year old!

And the big bro!

Jumpin

5th April 2007

As well as wedding and commercial photography, we love to get involved in photographing what goes on around us and especially what is happening in the local community. We mostly do this work for free as we simply love being given access to the many events and activities where people do things for and with other people - where people care for each other and spend time with each other.

At the moment Kenny is helping St Columbanus Church in Bangor to put together a set of images showing the various events and community activities that take place in their new parish centre. He spent last Friday at their community lunch. It was great to see the great efforts made by those that prepare the lunches - they’re there from 9 in the morning preparing and cooking ready for the guests to arrive at one - and those that receive them who get a great meal and the chance to spend time with friends and chat. It was hard to keep taking pictures as all that great food was being served!!!! Kenny also photographed Jumpin’ - their Easter event for local kids. Hugely inspiring to see what so many kids having such a great time and to see what an amazing job Dave, the youth worker in the church, and his team of leaders had done. We’re shooting Dave’s wedding in Autumn - very much looking forward to that.

A few of the shots below…
