“Aurélie was very communicative and gave so much advice on how to get the best out of the day. On the day of, she was so patient with a slightly cranky 2 year old who was not a very willing participant in the beginning of the session. She was incredibly friendly, and gave great guidance and instructions to capture lovely photos. We didn’t have to wait long to see the outcome of the day and the photos exceeded expectations, the cranky toddler was captured in such an amazing way!”

The little things you’ll want to remember

A quiet morning at home. The storybook you’ve read about 87 times already (but they love it so much). A tea party where everyone is invited. These are the little things that make up your family’s story.

A session gives you time to enjoy them together while I take care of the photographs. As a mama, I know how quickly these days change. Hold your babies tight, join in the games, and let me help you remember.

I have tears in my eyes as I discover our wonderful photos. Thank you for capturing us so perfectly.

I’m Aurélie, family photographer in Dublin, Ireland

Family is everything to me. Laughter, cosy meals, game nights… These everyday moments are what matter most. I began my photography journey 18 years ago when I became a mama, driven by a deep desire to preserve our family’s memories. That passion naturally grew into helping other families do the same.

If you see beauty in the chaos of parenthood and believe this is the good life, then I’m your photographer. I create images that make you feel, and bring these moments back to life.

You deserve to be in the photographs too

Motherhood is beautiful, everyone will tell you that. And it’s also very, very hard. Not many people will tell you it’s okay to be tired. When was the last time you had a moment to yourself?

As a busy mama of three, I know how full your days are. You care, plan, organise, and make the magic happen for your family, often without being seen. I know the feeling. That’s also why being in the photos matters so much.

Care is at the heart of my photography sessions. I make sure every mama feels supported, seen, and celebrated. I create a calm, nurturing space where you can simply be with your children, without pressure to perform, tidy your home, or look a certain way.

You are enough. You are in good hands. From one mama to another: let’s do this together.

You deserve to be in the pictures and it matters to your babies.

Aurélie is so nice!

A framed photo of your kids is you telling them “you are my world”.

I like to think a house becomes a home when there’s 1) a cat or dog sleeping on the couch and 2) family photos everywhere: fridge, walls, shelves… Frames or albums, you name it.

There’s nothing quite like walking past a photograph of your family and remembering how that moment felt. Your natural family portraits and everyday stories deserve a place in your home, where you and your children can enjoy them.

Every session is designed with tangible photographs in mind. Explore prints and albums made to be held, displayed and passed on.


You’ll love working with me if:

You love real moments. You want photographs of your family’s personalities, connections and everyday life.

You prefer a relaxed experience. Your children can play, move and be themselves, without pressure to perform.

You want photographs to live with. Prints and albums that you can enjoy now and share with your children as they grow.
