Your mother and baby photography session in Dublin

How would you like a photo session just for you and your little one? A precious and intimate moment with the two of you, to capture the special bond you have and all those cute baby features.
A privileged experience and a keepsake of the first few month of motherhood during maternity leave. If this speaks to you, then a baby photography session in Dublin might just be the right fit!

I didn’t feel like I was being photographed. It was more like having a friendly conversation with a fellow mum.

Missed the newborn stage? It’s never too late

If you didn’t manage to book a newborn session, don’t worry at all, it’s absolutely fine. A baby photo session is just as special. Around three to six months, babies are more alert, they make eye contact, they start smiling and interacting with you, which makes for wonderfully expressive, emotional images.

You can discover more about the newborn experience on my Newborn Photography Dublin page, but remember that every age has its own kind of magic. What matters most is documenting your connection.

When to book your Baby photography session?

The best time for baby photography in Dublin is anytime in the first year, from the moment your baby begins to hold their head up to when they start crawling. There’s beauty in every stage, and we can schedule the session at a time that suits your baby’s rhythm.

If you’re moving home or experiencing a big family change, a session like this one before moving to a new home can be an especially meaningful way to preserve your memories in your current space.

Time flows differently when you have a baby. It’s almost like being part of a special, unique dimension, where time stretches just for the two of you.

Mamas of young babies, you know better than anyone how that time is precious. It’s weird because one minute you can’t wait for the day to end, you are so exhausted. Then the next you feel like the weeks, the months fly by in the blink of an eye. Making sure you get photographs of that time with your little one is important, that season of life is sweet and special, you will want to remember all of it.
I will take a subtle approach during the photo session with your baby so you two can go on with your quiet, cute routine.

The way you hold them is both universal and unique. Each mother has her own way of caring for her little one, speaking to them, and calming them. I promise you, no two mamas comfort their baby in the same way. There are as many different hugs as there are mothers.

And I know you sometimes doubt yourself, I’ve been there. Sleepless nights and endless days can do that to you. Through a baby photography session, I will give you the light you deserve. I see you.

Including siblings in your Baby session
