Welcome! I’m Cara, an award-winning family photographer in Dublin, capturing genuine moments with warmth and honesty.
My family sessions blend traditional family portraits with candid, unscripted documentary family photography sessions—the kind you can’t plan for, like your toddler tying a shoelace for ages, pretending to be a bird, or darting off to climb a tree. These are the memories I love to preserve: messy, soulful, and full of life. Whether it’s an outdoor family photo shoot in an iconic Dublin location, a cozy newborn session at home, or a special family celebration, like a birthday or a surprise proposal, I will tell your story in a way that feels familiar and authentic.
As well as covering outdoor locations all over Dublin, and your own home and garden, my popular outdoor mini sessions run through the year in Blackrock. Your gallery will be full of timeless, vintage-inspired color and classic black and white, filled with the connection we capture together.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me dreaming of spicy Indian food, walking my French bulldog, streaming too many shows, reading when I get the chance, or admiring shoes I probably can’t walk in.
Embrace the warmth of fuss-free newborn sessions and capture those precious first days at home—sleeping, feeding, bathing, and exploring the world.
