Bring out your wild child! Documentary family photography
Updated: Jan 22
This was a fun-filled summer outing to one of England's most beautiful country houses and parks. Stourhead, UK.
Best moments from summer family photography on holiday!
Holidays are a time of freedom for children. SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER! No more uniforms. No more scheduled time. No more organized after school activities
The unplugged childhood. A childhood of full of adventure & exploration.
This is FREE time.
As a parent we know it when we see it. An expression that rings true.
Whether the mood is smiles and laughter. Or contemplation and surprise. Or dreaminess. Or trepidation. Or plain sass. We know a true expression when we see one. I capture it all!
It is no coincidence that as the summer weeks slide by, the children get grubbier. More unruly. More wild. Particularly when they have access to the countryside. Access to adventures with all the family. Picnics, playing tag, climbing trees...
Even dinner times can be chaotic. After a whole day outside, the food is scrambled together (...not literally...!)
Active children are hungry children! Little boys eating spaghetti straight out of the pan!
Active children are also tired at the end of the day. Drifting off in exhaustion, rubbing tired eyes
These are the "in between" moments. Moments other than joy, laughter & smiles. The subtle shifts of feeling I love to capture!
The children ran around exploring the park at Stourhead, England.
The girls were dressed in fancy dress costumes. This location truly is a magical place with magical light.
Real life, fuss free, no frills documentary family photography.
My Fly On The Wall, documentary family photography sessions Dublin, are scheduled inside or outside the home. Or a mix of both. A typical family session lasts an hour. A documentary session can be from 1 hour & 20 minutes. Typically, I can come to your home and get to know you & your family. This is a true recording of your day to day. Perfect for maternity & newborn & baby natural photography. Feeding, bathing, sleeping...We can also take a stroll outside to a nearby park. If you have older children we can watch them play. Slice of life is about documenting the whole family interacting together. Dogs are also welcome!
There is always a mix of classic child portraits in my authentic family sessions
Having child & family photo shoots in a park Dublin is a great way to capture children in their element.
Some parks mimic nature so well
Dublin parks have some amazing ornamental and ancient-looking trees that provide a beautiful naturalistic backdrop for child & family portraits.
I have plenty of options to choose from. Contact me for your professional family or natural newborn session
