Welcome to a vibrant summer in Dublin, where the long days and sunny skies provide the perfect backdrop for capturing beautiful family moments.

These 30-minute outdoor photo shoots, set in the picturesque locales of Blackrock and Seapoint, offer a unique opportunity to create lasting memories. Whether it's a beach photo shoot in Dublin during low tide or a garden setting in full bloom, my sessions are designed to capture the essence of your family in these stunning environments. Discover how my family photo shoots in Dublin can turn your summer moments into timeless treasures.


At low tide, we can really get to the edge of the water together. Even wade through it with the expanse of shallow water & rocks in the background.


As well as doing family portraits, I do a lot of teenager portraits for debs & graduation photography Dublin. The 30 minute Summer mini still allows me plenty of time to capture emotive portraits.

The Summer Mini: Long Hot Summer. 30 minutes in a Blackrock garden or low tide at Seapoint.


As the tide was out this young woman in a pink summer dress could wade out into the water. I love the contrast between a beautiful dress and being in the water for emotive feminine portraits. Beach family photo shoot Dublin.

As well as shots of her in the landscape, I like to take more intimate close up portraits with a soft focus background. The pastel colours of sea and sky compliment her light pink dress.

Another recent Seapoint beach family session with mum, dad and two teenager daughters. I love this one with mum's hair flying in the breeze as she spins her young son around. The cloudless blue sky and the sea make the perfect summer backdrop.

This week, catching up on blogging some of my lovely Spring families.

This spring mini family photo shoot. Here, in the heart of Blackrock, Dublin, where the long grass made the garden look like we were in the middle of a meadow in the heart of the countryside.


The warmer weather is perfect for babies & newborns to be photographed outside. I usually just ask families to bring a blanket along for sitting portraits. Although I do at home newborn photography Dublin sessions, seasonal backdrops can create really emotive family photographs throughout the year. Dressed in light white cotton, this families wardrobe doesn't detract from the families expressions as they interact with each other. The white beautifully compliments well the pale green of the trees & grass.

Below: We took most of these family portraits under a beautiful old cherry blossom tree in the Spring time in the same garden as above. (See here my seasonal cherry blossom mini sessions. )

I last saw this family for a Christmas family Christmas card session. Little girl was still a baby back then. Now she can toddle about, curious about the cherry blossom falling from the trees! I love the picture here where little sister is between her two brothers, looking very confident. I also love the two boys up in the branches of a tree.


I also love this family coordinated their outfits to match the pink of the spring blossom. Complimentary pinks, violets & blues. A perfect wardrobe to match this spring blossom family photoshoot.

I also do full one hour indoor & outdoor lifestyle & family photography sessions. I have three packages on offer: Gems, Luxe & Family Keepsake. The Gems is a very popular package and includes a one hour photo shoot & 50 edited pictures which I hand select from a larger number of pictures. These are all the best moments from our time together. I include information for Dublin professional printers so you can print your pictures yourself in your own time. The beauty of a digital package is that you can repeat print a favorite picture any number of times. Although my other packages do include print products and handcrafted albums, you can also get all your luxury print products a la carte as well.
