Ireland Photographer | Buddy and Jill

I’m doing a little throwback on the blog today to one of our favorite days of 2015 in honor of my dear friend Jill’s birthday today! We got to explore the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland last summer with friends and it is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been…and these are some of the most epic never-before-shared portraits I’ve ever had the opportunity to take! 

Last summer I spent a few weeks with my fave travel buddy and long distance bestie, Anna, exploring Germany where my family lives…the trip lined up with a wedding I was photographing in Scotland so we decided to make it one big, extended adventure and Anna came with me to the UK too! There we met up with Ryan and our friends, Buddy, Jill, Mandy, and Josh to explore Ireland…

We drove on so many narrow roads and saw so many gorgeous coastal views…the people are so friendly and it’s one of my favorite countries! We knew we wanted to take couples portraits of each other at some point and the Cliffs were the easy choice…I’ve never seen anything else like them! I wish we could relive this day!! 

Happy Birthday Jilly! I hope you have the best day!! Thank you for being such a joy-filled, caring, generous women and friend. I’m especially thankful for your amazing cooking skills and that you are secretly a hair and makeup artist. And I love how you bring out the best in people! I’m so grateful for you and the fun times we’ve shared! P.S. You are gorgeous!!
