My Own Story: A Journey in Capturing Family Moments

My passion for family and lifestyle photography began with the chaotic, unscripted moments of my own family: my children, nieces, and nephews. From cuddling up to the patchy street kitten that became our own, to dressing up in princess gowns and climbing trees, I've tried to capture the innocence (and quirkiness) of childhood in my child portraits. My photography spans our time living as a family in bu Dhabi, UAE, as well as our move to Dublin, Ireland with my Irish husband, our two children, and Pebbles, Zara, Miss Tiddlywinks, and Tony, the pets.

​​

​Specializing in natural family photography sessions in Dublin and at-home newborn photography, I aim to capture the genuine emotions and connections that make each family unique.
