It’s always great when the sun does come out and it shows off Ireland’s nature, quite literally, in the right light! And to do it on this family photo shoot was so appreciated, since this was a really special one. Taylor initially contacted me all the way from Florida, this was going to be a big trip for them as a family since they were coming over to Cork to spread a family member’s ashes. And so they decided that for this trip, they wanted some nice family portraits to remember the trip and to have some very original looking family portraits which I’m sure a lot of other Floridians don’t have hanging at home!
With the roses and other flowers in full bloom, I made sure to take full advantage of them and the pops of colour they add in these family portraits are just the cherries on top! Plus, I’ve always wanted to photograph on the Shakey Bridge in Cork and this was finally my chance. On other shoots it was either under construction or just didn’t really fit the shoot. But this was my big chance and I took it! The geometry was a great feature to incorporate into the family photos. Although lining everything up symmetrically is always easier said than done! “Just move to two inches to your left! No, that was a bit too much, just half an inch back again!”
It’s a lot of those kind of instructions! What we do for symmetry!
I always love doing family shoots like this. It’s so rare to have the whole family together in one place, never mind in whole different country. To then organize a professional photographer to do a family shoot is such a great idea!
If you would like to book a portrait shoot for your family, you can gladly contact me here. I look forward to meeting you and your family!
And remember, besides family portrait photography, I also photograph the following:
