A recent favourite. Harry’s Mum had seen this pose done before and wanted to see if we could recreate it, I was happy to oblige. It’s always fun for me when parents are up for trying out new poses for their babies and have their own ideas of things we can do.

Some more photos from the parade yesterday, such a brilliant day and would you believe I actually had a touch of sunstroke this morning that’s how sunny it was! Either that or the Irish winter was so dark and dismal I’m not used to sunlight anymore. Thanks again to Marcus, Pix.ie, the St. Patrick’s Festival and the Guinness Storehouse for a fab time.

This Way For The Parade

This Way For The Parade

Had a fantastic day at the St Patrick’s Day parade, I have so many photos to go through but I’m far too exhausted to even look through them. This is just a little preview.

Ladies Tea Party 09

Cakes

I didn’t take many photos at Sabrina‘s fabulous Ladie’s Tea Party, mainly because I was too busy chatting but there were yummy cakes that just had to be photographed. The cupcakes were at least as yummy as they looked and were made by the very talented Jo, and the brownies were courtesy of Niall Harbison. They were so chocolatey even a confirmed chocoholic like myself was defeated after a couple of bites. Yum!

But this lady is so popular we even had gatecrashers clamouring to see her:

Ben and Peter arrived to receive their ToyBoy badges:

I think this is a first…Peter Donegan rendered speechless:

There’s a few more to be seen on Flickr.

I know, I know, I’ve totally missed the boat on posting photos from the Blog Awards weekend down in Cork. It was such a brilliant weekend but when I got back I stepped right back into a mountain of work that has had me a bit overwhelmed for the past few weeks. I didn’t even have a chance to look at the photos I took until last night. This post has some of the photographs taken on the photowalk around Cork the afternoon of the awards. We started out at the English Market…
