St Stephen’s Green family photo session

St Stephen’s Green: a family photo session in the heart of Dublin

If you’re looking for an outdoor location for your family photo shoot that feels both iconic and intimate, St Stephen’s Green is the place. It’s central location makes it accessible and when the session is over, you’re just a few steps away from cosy coffee shops for a hot chocolate.

The park holds sentimental value for many Dubliners and will not fail to wow any visitor on vacation. When I asked this mama to pick a meaningful location for her family session, she did not hesitate: this is the park she loves to take her daughter to and she has many fond memories of the place.
We met on a nice autumn afternoon and had the best walk around this beautiful park, finding many perfect backdrops for the photos.

What makes outdoor sessions so relaxed

When you pick a day and place that suits you, you get to enjoy the moment for an hour and a half. You’ve made room in your busy schedule and whatever comes before and after, this time is just for you. There’s something about being outdoors that just puts everyone at ease. Kids have space to explore, play and be themselves, and you don’t have to worry about keeping them still.
Even parents feel less pressure: you don’t feel the need to tidy up and if you think your home is too small, the open air and nature will create the best backdrop. Read more about outdoor photo sessions and why they’re so awsome.

From laughs to cuddles: capturing it all

The beauty of an outdoor session is how naturally it flows. I’ll follow your family’s lead and your little one’s. Tickles, whispers of secrets, or simply holding hands and walking around the park: there will be plenty of cute and joyful moments for me to photograph so you can hold onto them for the years to come.
Who said you can’t have real, heartfelt connection during outdoor photo sessions? Whether it’s a tickle fight on the grass or a quiet cuddle on a bench, outdoor sessions bring out the joy in your family and the magic will happen. Don’t worry about having to pose or smile awkawardly, I promise you with a documentary photo session, that will not be a thing!

You don’t need a milestone to treat yourself to a photo session

A photo session isn’t just for birthdays, anniversaries, or major milestones—it’s for the everyday, too. You don’t need an excuse to celebrate your family as it is right now. A photo session isn’t just about marking big achievements; it’s about freezing the tiny, beautiful moments that make up your daily life.
The way your little one clings to your leg, how tiny she is, and how magical it felt to be together in the beautiful chaos of parenthood. Why wait for a milestone to create something that will mean the world to you in years to come?

A documentary session is the perfect way to freeze those precious moments in time.
