At-Home Family Photography in Dublin
Your home. Your people.
Your everyday moments.
A home family session in Dublin is all about slowing down and celebrating the ordinary moments that make your family unique. At home, your children feel free to be themselves, surrounded by their favourite toys and familiar spaces.
In this relaxed setting, we’ll create natural, intimate and warm photographs.
Together, we spend an hour and a half capturing your favorite activities and everyday life. A quiet moment around a story, a snack, or the baby’s feeding. A very cozy home family session for the perfect story to tell in your annual photo album.

There’s no place like home
Your home is the coziest place ever for your children. This is where they grow up and get all the love in the world. They feel safe, everything is nice and familiar. It’s the best place to have a photo session, if you ask them!
Your home is one of the best backdrops there is: think of it as a studio, that will look like no other because you made it unique! You arranged and decorated it to fit your needs, your tastes. It’s where you will feel the most relaxed and comfortable. And one of the best parts is: you just wait there for me! No packing of bags, no coats or shoes or travel time.
How we plan your session
I will photograph your family just like I photograph my own: by taking into account what makes it unique and special. When you book a home family session in Dublin, I will always take the time to get to know you, and understand your love language. Before your session, I will ask you a few questions and we will discuss your needs and expectations. You can tell me all about your kids, their personalities, the daily routines and the little things in life that make you smile. I look forward to it!
You and I plan the session according to your preferences and schedule. If there is a particular moment in your day that gives you joy and makes for the best memories of their childhood, we will arrange to photograph it.

What can we do during a home session?
We can keep things wonderfully ordinary: make pancakes, read a favourite story, build something together, have a snack or join in a game of pretend. Feeds and cuddles can be part of the story too, if you’d like them photographed.
Choose things you already enjoy doing together. If you need a little inspiration, here are some simple activities for your family photo session. If you have a garden, we can include some time outside, weather permitting.
“My 4 years old boy had a connection straight away with Aurélie and got very comfortable with her presence, she listened to him, she was kind to us regarding my worries with the house mess and my husband thought she was really respectful asking if she could photograph myself feeding my baby (the pics I honestly loved so much!).
– Gabriella
We all felt comfortable and happy around her and the result brought tears to us, after many photoshoots we had this was the one my husband wanted to keep every single picture as Aurélie found her way to tell a story while documenting our family”

Questions about your session at home
Does our home need to be tidy?
You don’t need a spotless house. This is about your family’s life, including the toys, books and little signs of everyone being at home. Before the session, I’ll talk you through preparing your space so you can feel comfortable.
Worried about the space or the clutter? Read about photos in a small or messy home.
What if my children don’t want to be photographed?
There’s no need for your children to sit still and smile on request. Familiar games and routines give them something to enjoy while I photograph the moments that unfold. If you’re worried about how they might feel, tell me when we plan the session.
How do we choose the best time for our session?
We choose a time around your family’s routines and the moments you’d like to remember. It might be breakfast, playtime or a quiet part of the day. We’ll discuss what works for your children and your schedule before deciding.
Can we include our garden?
Yes. If you have a garden, we can include some outdoor moments, weather permitting. The session can stay indoors when the weather isn’t on our side.
