Photography / Family Photos in Howth

May 25, 2015

westy-family-photo-2015 It’s not a holiday in Dublin today, but I certainly feel like I need one more day before we get this week started. We had one of the most packed-full-of-fun weekends we’ve had in a long time, with warm sunny weather finally arriving.

I had been asking my brother- and sister-in-law if I could take a few family photos of them since Éabha turned one at Christmas time. But family photos with a baby aren’t terribly fun when everyone is all bundled up in jackets and coats. So we waited until it was warm enough that we’d actually see them! We woke up Saturday morning and decided on an impromptu visit to Deer Park (that same place with all the incredible rhododendrons!), but by the time we all got out of the house and headed that direction, it was pretty much nap time. We got mostly serious Éabha, except when she was being chased, and ended up with some very sweet family photos. These guys head back to Colorado next week for the summer and we miss them already.

You can learn more about my photography here and see past shoots of (teeny) Éabha, Elsie, Julius, Sam and Nicholas as well.

    I love how the magenta rhododendron petals reflected back up on the branches of the trees behind them. So cool. AND formed a carpet of magenta beneath them. And also, I loved the dappled green behind them in the first photo here. It looks almost sparkling! Beautiful family and beautiful shots.

    They are gorgeous shots of a beautiful family. They are so lucky to have a talented sister-in-law and auntie to preserve these beautiful moments for them in photography!
