A rare occasion of beautiful sunny weather in Autumn helped bring this photoshoot together. You may recognise this little fellow Jake from my blog last week. I captured his 1st Holy Communion photos but due to the less that kind weather that day, we didn't get any decent images captured outside. After a quick email, we arranged this shoot to make up for the previous sessions time restrictions.
Jake was great, we had a great laugh. He was telling me how to play Fortnite on the PlayStation. All while striking a pose!
It always warms my heart to see a child smiling and having fun.
I had the privilege of photographing Jakes 1st Holy Communion at Christ The King Church in Limavady last week. I do have to say he looked quite dapper in that beautiful little suit. Very Smart.
Due to the current restrictions, we had to wait on several other families to leave the alter area within the Church before we could capture some lovely family portraits.
The weather didn't play fair so we captured a few images inside and managed to get a few outside before they had to leave for their dinner booking
Designed by Irish architect Michael Shanahan and erected between 1779-83. It was built in memory of the Lord Bishop of Derry's (commonly known as The Earl Bishop) elder brother George, 2nd Earl of Bristol, who died a bachelor in 1775.
George was a Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, a highly esteemed viceregal position with very considerable power, patronage and influence.
Going by my research the Mausoleum was depicted on the Tomb of the Julii which currently survives in the Vatican Necropolis beneath St. Peter's Basilica.
You can see the top section of the mausoleum is missing, this is due to the great storm of 1839, the remaining sections from the top of the Mausoleum now lay at its foot in the hope of one day being restored.
Happy Viewing
As a photographer, I'm always looking at things differently and this little fisherman's hut was no different.
