Documentary Family Photography

Capturing real & authentic moments

Unscripted childhood. A true recording of you and your family

I call it:
FLY ON THE WALL



Capturing your every day ordinary, extraordinary moments. My documentary, natural family photography Dublin, it's simple. How you eat, play, sleep, bathe. Everything in between. Natural family portraits that are less posed & perfect. More messy & chaotic. The truth of life at home & out and about.

Coloring outside the lines!

Perfect for newborn, babies & young children who are naturally curious & busy. I specialize in fuss free natural newborn photography at home in the first weeks. This is life as it is, no frills
