Cupcakes, cocktails and crazy toddlers
You know you've had a good weekend when there's a tupperware container of chopped carrots and cucumbers in your bag... Friday, Yvonne and I had a delightfully girly evening of home-made cocktails and home-baked cupcakes. Very Carrie Bradshaw meets Betty Draper. After a trip to see

Una rosa, fino y hermosa
I don't normally banter away in Spanish on the blog, but that little phrase kept coming to me when I was shooting these flowers. I think it was one of those school crush Valentine's phrases boys would write: "Tu eres como una rosa, fino y

Ethan's Easter
Sigh. It's Tuesday, the long weekend is behind us and we have to cram five days work into four. Do you know what might cheer you up? These shots of Ethan and the little Easter baskets we made at the weekend for him to give to his aunts,

Happy Easter
Just a quick note to wish you all a Happy Easter. Hope the bunny brings lots of tasty chocolate treats! I'll be egg hunting with Ethan (weather-permiting), scoffing some choc, and watching my absolute favourite easter movie. Nevermind Fred and Ginger, Fred and Judy were pretty great too.

Meet Captain Socks (or is it Chairman Miaow?)
Say hello to Captain Socks / Chairman Miaow. He belongs to my friends Sorcha and Eoghan, and they coudn't agree on a name so now he has two. Although these days, I think Sorcha's choice - Captain Socks - has won out. The Captain will come over

Significant scraps
A little while ago, my mum gave me the coolest gift. It was folder containing little scraps, snippets and clippings of my life. She'd been collecting them pretty much since I was born. There was a napkin from my christening party. My first passport. Notes from parent-teacher meetings.

Dances with daffodils
William Wordsworth was on to something. There is something undeniably mood-lifting about daffodils. Be it their cheery yellowness, the speed at which they bloom, or how they look so delicate and pretty but are actually quite robust. I am thoroughly enjoying the fling with spring that Dublin has been having.

Woot!
My borrowed SLR has returned to its owner, so I was flicking through my archives to try and find a photo that summed up how I feel right now, and these vintage wooden "woot" blocks on my bookcase were the closest I came. See, this blog is one

Teary toddlers (and photobloggers)
Hola. Hello there poor wee neglected blog. I found it a lot tougher than I thought to maintain a photoblog without my beloved SLR. Combine that with some crummy personal circumstances (which we're better off not discussing on the interwebs) and you get a mixed start to 2010.

Baby Darragh
Some newborns are small enough to hold with one hand. Not this guy. Baby Darragh is a big, bouncing, healthy boy whose mum laughed out loud when she saw the baby bowl I had brought to photograph him in. There wasn't a hope of him fitting in it.
