Portstewart Strand on a Wet & Windy Thursday!

Portstewart Strand on a Wet & Windy Thursday in November – so you can get your car onto the beach for free! (It’s owned by National Trust so up to Oct you have to pay)  Here’s the proof … Rhoda the Skoda, down in the beach!


And despite the weather, there were plenty of people taking advantage of free parking and enjoying the wind, the rain, the sand and the sea.  Continue reading Portstewart Strand on a Wet & Windy Thursday!

Photo-Essay: Dunluce Castle.

Dunluce Castle, 2nd November 2016.

A visit to Dunluce Castle, between Portrush and Portballintrae on a cold, windy day in November, yet still plenty of foreign tourists around the ancient monument.  The castle was built in the early 17th Century, by Randall McDonnell, and the now derelict mansion house sits out on a rock, reached only by a wooden bridge.

When to Book your Bump Shoot!

When to book your bump shoot…

Well really we want the biggest bump possible! So the reply is as late as we can without running the chance of babe arriving before the shoot!
Around 4 weeks before your due date is perfect. But that is solely a guide, anywhere from 12 to 2 weeks before your due date will be fine.

If you are taking maternity leave, then you can certainly wait until you break from work. This gives you a chance to be more chilled and enjoy the shoot instead of feeling like it has to be fitted in.

You may want to do a “gender reveal” – where you use the photographs to announce the sex of your baby. You probably won’t find this out until your 20 week ultrasound scan. You will have a beautiful bump by then if you want to get the news out as soon as you can.

Family Photography in Belfast

Family is important. It’s good to make memories and record family relationships on a regular basis, and to capture images that will be good enough to frame and hang in the family home. Traditionally, this is the work of the professional photographer, who has the proper training, equipment and experience to produce fantastic images. 

So, we always welcome families to the studio at Dundonald – like these three happy sisters…
