Hi, I'm Cara & I would LOVE to tell your Story

Storytelling Family Photographer That Shines Your Light From The Inside Out
Welcome! I’m Cara, a Dublin family photographer, capturing genuine moments with warmth and honesty.
​
I specialise in both traditional family portraits and unscripted documentary photography—noticing those authentic, messy moments you can’t plan for, like your busy toddler pretending to be a bird or darting off to climb a tree. Whether it’s an outdoor family session in a favourite spot in Dublin, a fuss free newborn session at home, or a big birthday bash, I’ll tell your story authentically. Expect a hand-edited gallery with cinematic black and white images and warm vintage inspired colours.
​
I also offer outdoor mini sessions in Blackrock and Seapoint beach near Monkstown, with beautiful seasonal backdrops.
​
When I'm not taking photos, I love spicy Indian food, dogs, tea, and pretty shoes.
