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

family photography that shines from the inside out
It's not about perfect posing, it's about who you really are.
Whatever your life looks like, the messy & the beautiful, I would love to tell your story in pictures.
The ordinary moments above all.
Chasing the light from the inside out,
I look for a spark of natural connection in my child & family portraits. With a storytelling twist. I love classic, cinematic black & white photography and rich, natural color tones...
I specialize in natural light family photography. We can take a stroll together in a favorite place outside. Town, beach, park. Or make your own home & garden the focus...
For celebrations big, small & tiny, I am an experienced,
internationally published, professional, natural family photographer Dublin, with over 10 years experience photographing families, children & babies. >
A bit about me. I love tea, Cola-Bottle sweets (...all the pick n' mix at the cinema), recipe's with lots of chili. Costume dramas. Travel, road trips.
First days at home with your newborn. Or a place you feel at home. Sleeping, feeding, bathing. Curious about the world...
