Family Portrait In Glendalough

Camera Shy
Canon 5D, 28mm, f3.2, 1/250, ISO 400

A couple of weekends ago I spent the morning up in Glendalough photographing this little guy and his mum and dad. His name is Tommy and he was a little shy of me and my camera at first. After a bit of stone throwing in the lake though he soon got used to me and we had a great time. He’s such a little character:

Thank you Sarah and John for allowing me to post these photos, and for the suggestion of Glendalough as a location! Even in not so great weather, it’s so beautiful up there. I just want to sneak one more in because it’s my favourite, I just love his little expression :D :

If you’d like me to take photographs of you or your family I’ve added a contact form to the website here. Fill it in and I’ll send you details and if you have any ideas for interesting locations then I’d love to hear them!

    Hi Timbra! I know who you are, I read your blog too. Wouldn’t it be great if we could just grab a coffee and swap info :D

    I think Mike needs to take you guys back here to Ireland and show you around.

    Beautiful as always. I love the way you still reach out and get those faces, even in the midst of such natural environmental beauty. We took Pip and Pop for a walk at Glendalough today and they were paddling and throwing stones in that exact spot.
    ps, I love the smoochy kiss Mama is giving in that portrait. Perfect once again Claire.

    I decided to do some blogging recently and when I seen this little fella I felt like I was looking in the mirror as he resembles myself at this age. I am really finding the blogging to be very interesting. So much out there and so many people to meet, greet and learn about. I feel like I am out traveling the world and sitting in many peoples living areas.

    Take care, everyone
