This lovely little girl was in our Dundonald studio today for family photos after her 1st Holy Communion. We did some family groups and some high key images, then we had some fun with the GreenScreen!

Pet Portrait Open Day
Today (Saturday 14th May) was Pet Portrait Open Day at Dundonald – and we had the pleasure of welcoming five lovely dogs to the studio for photographs, and of course to raise funds for DogsTrust – one of our charity causes this year.
Here they are…
Kiddies, kiddies and even more kiddies!
These three lovely wee children were in the studio today to celebrate a 1st Communion.
Dakota the Husky
This afternoon we had a visit from Dakota, a nine month old Siberian Husky puppy. As you can see, he’s a lovely dog!
Men at Work
I’ve always been intrigued by the clutter of offices, personal spaces etc. The character of the worker is very often reflected in their workspace.
Visiting commercial premises in Craigavon recently I pooped my head through the door of an old friend and found him sitting amid all the clutter of his profession; his computer keyboard atop a pile of papers and documents almost a foot high. I couldn’t resist a shot…

Cooper the Jack Russell
Cooper the Jack Russell
This delightful, four-legged poser came to Dundonald for his portrait to be entered into the Pet Portrait awards, 2016. This national competition supports the work of Dogs Trust and affords great prizes, with superb canvas prints for prizes at the local level and a whopping £1000 cash prize for the national first prize!
Let’s hope Cooper romps home! Book your four-legged friend into the competition here…
The #Nikon Df
My main studio camera these days is the Nikon Df. Here she is, ready for action before today’s appointments, fitted with a 35-70mm f/2.8 Nikkor lens, with infra-red studio flash trigger, and tethered to the MacBook. 
She’s gorgeous!
Nunsquarter, Kircubbin
Nunsquarter, Kircubbin and St Mary’s RC Church. I’ve often driven along the Portaferry Road and fancied stopping to take some photographs of this imposing building and to date never had the time! I’d photographed a wedding at the other church in the parish, St Joseph’s – and I was a bit disappointed that the bride didn’t opt for St Mary’s.
Nevertheless, driving back towards Newtownards a few days ago I made a point of pausing for a few minutes, just long enough to get some shots of the exterior. (The building was closed.)
I used the Nikon F100 camera with a prime 50mm lens, Ilford Delta 100ISO film, and shot with a shutter speed of 1/125th sec. It was a dull day so the aperture was around f/8 for most of the shots. I also did one shot of the house beside the chapel – presumably a former shop.
Dexter the Dog on Display
Our giant canvas print of Dexter the Dog has arrived and now holds pride of place in the studio viewing area!
Our March Baby-Stars!
This month we had three lovely babies in the National Baby of the Month competition – sponsored by Mothercare and benefiting the David Sheldrick Wildlife Fund. Toddle on over to the competition website and give them your vote.
