Some of you blog folk may recognise this bloke, but the rest of you will just see a really lovely family.

It was a hot and steamy morning down at Clontarf Beach shooting these guys was a great way to while away a couple of hours.

We explored a Gruffalo hide out, and put our feet in the cool water, and basically they just loved the crap out of each other while I took pictures.

There was a wonderful tantrum such as only a two year old can throw, and I loved how it was just taken in stride. At the end of the day the grown ups asked for a photo of just the two of them because they hadn’t had a picture together for such a long time.

It’s funny how we do that, isn’t it? Take all the pictures of our kids, but we’re like ghosts.

I love the result….they’re both grinning like teenagers. Another of the fun morning of family photography.
