2016 In Photography

I love nothing more than to click the shutter and freeze the perfect moment or capture something beautiful. I have always been the same. However, three years of studying photography at an academic level stole my passion and left my camera gathering dust in the back of a wardrobe. I thought I would never find…

Sunday Snapping: A Day In Dublin

Confession time – I didn’t take these photos on a Sunday. In fact, I actually took these photos in June, but I thought I would hold on to them for a slow week on the photography front, as they didn’t seem to fit anywhere else. When I went to Dublin to see Nashville In Concert,…

Sunday Snapping: Rose Week 2016

For the photographer inside me,  one of the best rose gardens in the world, brimming with 45,000 roses – or so the leaflet said, I didn’t count – is pretty much heaven. Add in the fact that it was Rose Week, and the park is a hive of activity, and I’ve found the recipe to another…

Sunday Snapping: Antrim Castle Gardens

What do you do when the sun comes out and you’re feeling like your lazy Sunday is becoming a little too lazy? Take the camera out, of course! This time, my adventures took me to Antrim Castle Gardens, a place that I often go for a walk, but never before with my camera. It was…

Sunday Snapping: Belfast Castle Gardens

After two gorgeous Sundays spent snapping in the sun, I am presenting myself with a challenge that I hope I can live up to – and the clue is in the title ‘Sunday Snaps’. At least once per month, and maybe more if we get some more of this fabulous weather, I will share with you…

Sunday Snaps: Belfast Maritime Festival 2016

What better a way to spend a rare sunny Sunday afternoon in Belfast than at the Belfast Titanic Maritime Festival? As my sporadic blogging (to put it lightly) might have indicated, life has been a little hectic of late, and blogging and photography fell by the wayside, but Belfast came to life this week and…

Sunday Snaps: Postcards from Portstewart Strand

I love Portstewart Strand. Having studied at university in Coleraine and lived in Portstewart for two years of my student life, there’s a little part of it that feels homely and makes it one of my favourite places for a weekend road trip. However, this was not my only reason for a drive up the…

Scenic Snapping: A ‘Dark Hedges’ Adventure

It feels totally alien to me to be creating a post that isn’t dominated by text, but I feel like I have been neglected my photography lately, so here goes! Last weekend, I took a little drive to the Dark Hedges in Northern Ireland. Well, I say little, but I actually got considerably lost in…

A Walk Around Studio Souk

This weekend, I discovered a treasure trove right in the middle of Belfast, and I’ve fallen in love already. Having heard the buzz about Studio Souk from its launch party, celebrating the move from Spires Mall to Castle Lane, I couldn’t wait to see it for myself. Unfortunately, Linzi Rooney (the entrepreneur behind this beautiful…

Snapping my way around Northern Ireland

It’s summer, and we have had a rather spectacular bout of weather over the past few weeks, so I have taken the opportunity to get a little bit snap happy around the country, showing off Northern Ireland’s beauty spots, and a few of my favourite places to photograph. Where is your favourite place in Northern…

Blurred Lines

Now that you’ve had an insight into some of my favourite beauty products (if not, click to see my make-up bag post), it’s time to introduce you to my photography. Now before you judge, these aren’t even close to my usual types of photographs. My Canon EOS1000D usually comes out on sunny days at the…
