Dog Days of Summer are here again

Our 3rd Annual Dog Days of Summer Dog Portrait Event is on 21st to 24th July at the Studio in High Street Kilkenny . Phone the Studio 056 7721012 to schedule a session with your Dog today .

This year the event will support Inistioge Puppy Rescue.

Four fun filled days when dogs of all shapes and sizes will visit our studio with their owners, I love working with dogs as they are always happy and willing to please and I love capturing their original expressions for their owners,many people say ‘my dog wont sit like the dogs you have on display at the studio’, but we understand that most dogs only sit for split seconds at a time so that’s when we photograph them.”

Dog Days of Summer has raised €1,177 for Irish Cavalier Rescue and €600 so far for Inistioge Puppy Rescue. For a €20 donation Maria will photograph your pet, the donation covers the portrait session time only (normally €60). You may then buy your Pet Portrait from our Botique Portrait Collection or the A La Carte Price list.

What to Wear for Baby and Child Portraits

What your child wears is a very important step in planning your Portraits . The right choice is timeless and will not date , very important since we are creating a piece of Art to hang on your wall for many years to come . There are lots of beautiful clothes in the shops at the moment perfect for Summer Portrait Sessions .

In Kilkenny Pauls , Du Pareil and Next have a great selection . Also the Summer collections in both Dunnes Stores and Penneys have possibilities .

These are afew pieces from Du Pareil that you may like .

We like to plan your sessions carefully so we will always discuss clothes with you to help you make the right choice . Look out for our Child Portrait Specials in July and August .

Baby Jack Day 8

The lovely Jack from Callan came to the Studio yesterday for his Newborn Portrait . He is 8 Days New .

He is as cute as a button and slept all the way through the session . Jack is also a member of our Babygrow programme so we will get to see him grow in the next twelve months .

Jack is not the only baby in the house though he has a 2 year old big brother called Oscar who just happens to be a Black and Tan Cavalier . I hope to photograph the "Brothers" together when Baby Jack can sit up .
