Timeless Christening Family Photographer, Dublin by Cara Hodge.

Hi, I'm Cara, a Dublin family photographer - focusing on families, babies and couples. I love to cover Christenings and other family celebrations.. .

I capture traditional family and child portraits as well as natural documentary moments - perfect for your baby's baptism. I'll cover the Christening mass - as well as celebrations before and afterwards.

All the sessions on my FAQ page are suitable for Christenings. Sessions include the photo shoot as well as a curated gallery. You can also purchase the one hour photo shoot for 275 euro, and I have options for a mini Christening gallery - please get in touch for more details!
