Beautiful new track and making of vid from one of my all-time favourites, Gemma Hayes. I love learning about the mechanics of a song, how it came about, what ideas sparked together – in this case, how a photographer's work inspired the lyrics. Watch it below. PS. Lovely interview

Have you come across Bean and Goose? Created by Karen and Natalie Keane, sisters and chocolate makers, it has become a new obsession. Their artisan single origin chocolate is handmade in small batches each week in their kitchen in the Wexford countryside and can now be found in the Temple

I thought I would share some choice cuts from my many, many pins and saved links on the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. The powerful, gutsy, unapologetic intensity of her work really blows me away. There is so much information out there about her, so many incredible stories and new discoveries.
Potraits
Some shots and overs from my Love is Love shoot in Volume 5 of Bash Magazine. It was such an honour to get to shoot this story, especially at such an important time. I can’t wait to vote Yes in the Marriage Equality referendum this May; it's

I don't really mind Valentine's Day. There, I said it. Ben and I have a pretty low-key tradition: We get an M&S Dine in for Two, pick a movie, and settle in for the night (although it falling on a Saturday this year might

Another one to add to my ever-growing list of podcasts, The Heart is a (kind of) new show that's come out under the Radiotopia umbrella, aka the most creative, interesting and all-around awesome podcast peeps in town. Exploring intimacy and humanity, I'm only three episodes in

How was your weekend? After two long, intense, but fun days criss-crossing Belfast city shooting for the next issue of Image Interiors & Living, I came home Friday and promptly collapsed on the couch. As gorgeous and comfy as our hotel had been, it was so nice to wake up

I can't believe that this was almost a year ago, and that I haven't posted these pics until now! I shot the Dublin 8 home of TV presenter, stylist and fashion journalist Darren Kennedy (and his adorable pooch Harry) for Image magazine last year. Like him,

I used to be terrible for skipping breakfast and running out the door, and, to be honest, when I first started seeing Liz and changing my eating habits, I thought that would be one of the harder things to get right. But we've started making the effort to

I find it hard to write about the people I love. How do you convey the magnitude of it? The layers and layers of history, the small everyday acts of kindness, the grand gestures. It's my sister's birthday today, and I desperately wanted to pen a
