Really like this quote:
“The individual is an aperture through which the whole energy of the universe is aware of itself”..

Mr. Meant-to has a friend, his name is Didn’t-Do. Have you met them? They live together in a house called Never-Win. And I am told that it is haunted by the Ghost of Might-have-Been. - Marva

Curtain Call Academy Stage School performed their production of Honk last weekend. Even though the weather was not what we’d like to see at this time of the year, everyone turned up to fill the house for both shows. I had the pleasure of shooting the Saturday night show which proved to be a colourful and fun affair. Director Grainne Earley pulled out all the stops again with her children and the costumes were quite amazing. Here are the resulting shots. Enjoy!! If you’re interested in joining Grainne’s Academy or any of her summer camps you can find the info here: http://www.curtaincallacademy.ie/

The Teresian School Peru Fashion Show
On Sunday night, a group of fifth year and transition year students from The Teresian School organized a fundraiser event at the Stillorgan Park Hotel. Seventeen self-funded 5th year students will be taking part in a Volunteer programme in Lima for three weeks this summer. All the proceeds from their fashion show will go to the Teresian Projects in Villa El Salvador. I was blown away by the professional show the girls put on with the help of friends, parents and teachers at their school. Here are the resulting images from their show.

Well, Happy Faces came and went at Brightlife this weekend in a myriad of smiles and flashes (studio, that is). Little Sean was my first shoot at 9.00 yesterday morning, so here I am sharing his beautiful smiles for everyone to see. I’ve still got a lot of work to do before I’m finished, but am so looking forward to getting in tomorrow morning and having a look at the rest of the amazing people who came along on the day to help out The Jack and Jill Foundation. The day was a joy with each new sitter giving me the pleasure of photographing them for this worthy charity. I just want to thank each and every one of you now for being so wonderful. Also a huge thank you to Woodies in Bray for blowing up my Happy Faces Balloons for half price and Alan my wonderful husband who collected them for me and helped me get set up first thing in the morning. I really do appreciate it. Thanks also to PhotoValue who provided the beautiful quality logo embossed mounts free of charge for the finished 5”x7” prints you’ll all be getting shortly. And last but most definitely no least, thanks to Niamh, who was a trooper on the day and Amy who came in to help me in the studio. I couldn’t have done it without you girls. :)
Just in case you missed my day, there are lots of other photographers still taking part for the next week. Check them out here: http://happyfaces.irishphotographers.com/
