Ava-Rose's granny told me that she doesn't normally wear dresses, but when I seen Ava Rose, she couldn't wait to show me her twirl. I'm sure you would all agree that she was a pro at it.

Thanks again Karen for picking me to capture your family photos. 🥰

The beautiful Sophie made her Holy Communion last week and yes we got lucky again with the showers, it seems to be a reoccurring theme this year..

It is always an honor when a family asks me back to capture more special memories for them. It is a pleasure to see the Cumberton family grow since the last time I seen them. ❤

The beautiful Emma was a natural in front of my camera. We thought at one stage we were going to need to use Emma's umberalla in the rain but thankfully we managed to doge the showers. ❤

Im sure you will agree that Darragh was a pro infront of my camera. ❤ Thank goodness prayers to my mummy on Saturday worked and we got to go outside after what was a miserable morning.

Im still in stitches at Darragh telling me that his Holy Communion tasted like ice cream, I hope it tastes like ice-cream for all of this years girls and boys.

Good luck to all the girls and boys making their Holy Communion today. The sun will come out. We just need to be patient. We will get there. knows best.

#MeetYourPhotographer #Day14 Is all about The boomberang. I'll admit that before I started this challenge a boomerang was something that came from Australia. 🙈 I quickly learnt what it was and came up with this. Here I am with my camera. #Workhorse #Canongirl #LocalPhotographer #Lurganphotographer #Familyphotographer #WeddingPhotographer #TheBoomberang #LivingTheDream

#MeetYourPhotographer When your on a photo shoot in Omagh and you see a lorry in the yard, nothing would do me until I got in it, flashed the lights and beeped the horn. I even got to rave the engine. #beepbeep #newwheels #weddingtransport #buckeejit #notwise #goof #sometimesiwonder #truckdriver #Familyphotographer #Lurganphotographer #localphotographer #yourphotographer #WeddingPhotographe #scania

#Day6 Packaging I am still playing catch up and im now two days behind in the #MeetYourPhotographer challenge but im enjoying being part of it and ill soon catch up. 🙈 For day 6 my #topic is #packaging. My packaging has been revamped completely. I've moved away from the discs to memory pens and ive stopped using the brown paper takeaway bags. (Well, that was my name for them lol) It is still a work in progress, I'm aiming for the #elegant look. At the minute i'm loving #hearts #greys and #silver and have went down the #sparkle route, I still need to inject some more #colour. All ideas are welcome. I have included mobile pics of a recent photo #package that was sent out over the #weekend. As my way of saying #thankyou, all packages usually come with an extra #surprise. Why not book a photo shoot wirh me and find out what what your surprise could be! #Lurganphotographer #weddingphotographer #familyphotographer #branding
