Updated post.


Just wanted to share some beautiful family photos from an Eid family session in Herbert park in Ballsbridge, Dublin.


You can often find me in Blackrock, Dunlaoghaire, Stillorgan, Booterstown, Ballsbridge, Monkstown, Glasthule and Dalkey - but I travel all over Dublin. I also do mini sessions in a garden in Blackrock or Seapoint beach.


Below, my Eid family!

My photography style


In my family photography sessions Dublin, I LOVE to include a variety of images from your documentary style moments to semi posed family and child portraits.

All the little details of how your loved ones look up close. I also love to have you interacting as a group, paying attention to gestures and expressions.

The hugs & the kisses.

The fun, silly moments when you are playing with your kids.

They are the best!


My family sessions - what to expect


Whether it is an outside family session to celebrate Eid or a communion - or the chance to take family photos for no specail reason other then to remember yourself as a family at this point in time, I specialise in outdoor, on location sessions, as well as family sessions in your own home


A standard family or lifestyle photo shoot is one hour, but I have sessions from 45 minutes to 2 hours and then documentary half days and full days.

It takes about 10 days on average to get all the best pictures from the photo session in a professional online viewing gallery. Rather then picking and choosing your favourites you get a full curated gallery with all my sessions.

All the pictures are fully edited. See my sessions are my Faq page.


Black and White and Vintage Inspired Colour Tones


In my family photography sessions Dublin, I LOVE to include a variety of images from your photo shoot.

Portraits of all individual family members showing all the little details of how your loved ones look up close. I also love to have you interacting as a group. This can be close up, paying attention to gestures and expressions. Also, pulled back further away to include elements of the landscape in your family portraits


There is room for classic family portraits of all of you together, looking straight into the camera. However I also love to capture the more care free, relaxed moments of you interacting naturally as a family.

The hugs & the kisses.

The fun, silly moments when you are playing with your kids.

They are the best!


Once the 60 or so images are chosen and handed in to the album designers, you will receive your album spread layout & you can make one round of changes to the layout


After that the book goes to print and is bound & shipped by DHL next day shipping to your home!


Families love to open up their family keepsake. An album you can hold in your hand. Pictures you can look back on, time & again! The most precious memories of your family.


Aside from my albums and print products, all my family photo shoots come with information about my gallery quality printers here in Dublin that I love to use. The mat prints are hugely popular, and I have my own personal pictures of my children done like this


Have a wonderful rest of your week! Christmas sessions make perfect family gifts. Vouchers are available for family, child and newborn pictures this Xmas!
