'Evo' gets the message across

The Police Service for Northern Ireland has introduced a new road safety agent – a 2006 Mitsubishi Evolution which had originally been destined for ‘retirement’ from the force. Road Policing Branch, in conjunction with the Police and Community Partnership and around 22 local companies which provided sponsorship, has given the car a complete external and internal re-fit. The car will be used around the country to help the PSNI promote road safety and encourage drivers who may be thinking of modifying their vehicles to seek professional advice.

“Evo” was an instant hit with visitors to the pit area of the Circuit of Ireland Rally and the Dromore in Action Committee is hoping to have her available for the town’s ‘Soap Box Derby’ in Mount Street during Civic Week at the beginning of May.

Do I look big in this?

Katie is one year old

I helped Katie's family celebrate her first birthday with a photoshoot at her home. Katie is a beautiful baby girl who is overflowing with character and fun. We spent time rolling an orange on the kitchen table, banging windows at the cat outside, looking at ourselves in the bedroom mirrors and chasing around the living room! I'm sure Katie slept well that night - I know I did!

What a lovely family

After all these years

Dromore couple Elizabeth and Herbie McDonald
celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary

I was invited to photograph this happy, contented couple at their Banbridge Road home to mark their milestone celebration. I accepted the commission on the understanding that I would also photograph the next 50th anniversary! I always begin my family work with a cup of coffee and I knew Elizabeth would be well prepared - scones, fruit cake and other goodies! They are so relaxed together and easy to get on with and it was a privilege to spend a very enjoyable hour or so capturing their love and relationship, and listening to a myriad of stories from their years together. 

The happy couple are musical and often spend time around the piano
