The last of dark winter days! Spring Family Portraits Dublin

Updated: Jul 12, 2023

Spring has been so gorgeous around Blackrock, Dublin.


I love springtime lifestyle & family portraits Dublin. Making the most of a longer day. The spring color around Dublin is so refreshing. White, pink, red - the colors of spring blossom - make fabulous backdrops for family pictures. Lush green grass in the garden I use in the heart of Blackrock for spring minis.


It's a great season for baby & newborn photography. Although I love my at home newborn photography Dublin, it's great to be able to make the most of being outside in warmer weather.


Babies & newborns can sit on blankets or even in the long, lush grass.


The warmer weather is perfect for outside photo shoots with babies & even, weather permitting, newborns in the first weeks.

This beautiful young woman wanted a fun, relaxed Dublin photo shoot just off Avoca Avenue, Blackrock, where there were some lovely cherry blossom blooms.

We did these quite late in the season. The grass was also scattered with pink blossom like confetti!

Feminine Portraits


I have started a new page on my website dedicated to feminine portraits in a natural setting. Where the studio is wherever you want it to be. (Instead of studio lighting, of course there is always natural light!). There are many great places in Dublin for outdoor family & lifestyle photo shoots. From the park to the my beach photo shoot at Seapoint.


Clothes can be coordinated to match the subtle colors of spring. Such as pastel, neutral & white hues. Florence had some fun by adding a black fake fur hat as a focal point! I love pictures of people with a striking hat!


I am a family photographer with over 10 years photographing families. I have expertise in expressive, emotive child & family portraits. Focusing on natural expression & gesture.

As well as natural maternity & newborn at home pictures


Older children, teens & adults are also great to photograph as well as children. I am available for graduation & debs photography Dublin. As well as occasion photography including baptism, christening, birthdays & Holy communion photography Dublin


It takes about a week to view the best moments from your photo shoot in a professional online gallery with a personalized cover.

From there, you can choose from a variety of packages, including handcrafted print products, matted albums, fine art books, mat printing & mounted print boxes. All expertly & professionally printed.

These are luxury albums that last a life time.


Contact me to book your family, graduation, debs, maternity - or any other moment worth celebrating. Ordinary or extraordinary!
