Recently, the beautiful Neda visited my studio for a pregnancy session. It was overall an amazing experience. I was touched by their story of the emails they are writing to their baby, which she will open on her 18th birthday! 
We had a very relaxed maternity session with her husband resulting in these natural photographs using warm lighting of the bump, and a family portrait was also taken of the expecting couple.
For a successful newborn session, please plan for your session to take place during the first 3-14 days after birth to help ensure a sleepy, relaxed baby. 
When you book your session, I will tentatively plan for it to take place shortly after your due date (babies sometimes come early or late so I always maintain flexibility in my scheduling).  

 Once your baby is born, please notify me from the hospital and I will work with you to pick a date within 10 days of birth for your little one's first photo shoot.  Newborn sessions typically last from two to four hours to ensure we have time for multiple setup changes, feedings, and settling.
More on planning.




 It is possible to discuss your ideas, sentimental props or poses you have in mind. It would just be beneficial if you let me know some time before the session. I plan your session in great detail and stick to poses I am a master at so suggesting an idea mid-session catches me off guard and can result in less than optimal images :) I have mentioned it many times before on this blog, my emails and on my website: your baby's safety comes first! 
If there is ever a point where you or your baby become uncomfortable, just let me know! I take every measure to keep your baby safe. For that reason, I will always make sure that a parent or assistant is nearby to lend a hand if needed.  
I am extremely gentle and patient with every baby I photograph however, do not be surprised if your baby is a bit unsettled, it is a first time experience for many!



I wanted to demonstrate the use of natural light in this is picture of the 9 day old baby V, using a few of my props.
This session was booked in early January and it everyone involved had a lovely day, baby V was very relaxed and content in her familiar setting. There was so much sun around the house that I used only one simple reflector and the window light with the blinds pulled down, as it was too bright!
I remember this day very well as I didn't have to struggle to find the best light around the house it was simply in every corner.


This little one, Esme, and her mum have been photographed in the stable, warm enviroment of their own home in a very calm atmosphere along with help of Esme's fantastic grandparents who come from Cork every weekend just to be with this little princess. An absolutely amazing experience photographing this beautiful family.

Winter Weddings and Christmas Weddings are one of my favorite subjects in photography. Though the weather is not always in our favour, the light may be surprisingly beautiful, creating a warm, soft effect in pictures. In this photograph we can see Abi & Steve on the beach just after their wedding ceremony, in Bray. The morning was cold and the sky was grey but it provided amazing natural light, no extra artificial lighting was needed! The beach was empty that gave us a space for finding the right angles and composition.
