Happy New Year folks. This is the first of two (or possibly three) portraits of my little cousin Orla that I took at my family’s Christmas celebrations. I thought I’d put this one up now, while the holiday period is still in recent memory, as it’s the most obviously seasonal of the three.

I hadn’t met Orla before, but I was impressed to find that at slightly over one year old, she’s already the life and soul of the party (and delighted to pose for the camera), and in keeping with the spirit of the season, was delighted to share her toys with absolutely everyone, so I wanted at least one portrait of her that was very clearly festive, which I think I got here…
