Vacation photographer Dublin – fun & relaxed family photo sessions
Your Dublin documentary vacation photographer
Visiting Dublin with your kids? You’ll want more than selfies in front of Trinity College. As a vacation photographer in Dublin, I offer documentary family photo sessions for families on vacation who want to remember the actual good times, not just the landmarks.
Think ice creams melting faster than your patience, kids chasing seagulls, windblown hair from a beach day, and that moment when everyone finally agrees on a place to eat—yep, that’s gold. These are the photos that will bring you back to Ireland every time you look at them.
Souvenirs worth way more than a shamrock fridge magnet (but definitely get this one, too, it’s cute).
Why hire a vacation photographer while visiting Dublin?
Selfies are great until someone’s arm gets tired or the toddler runs away mid-click. A vacation photographer means you can actually be in the photos, not just behind the phone or camera. Your holiday deserves more than a collection of half-blurry snaps, and you deserve images that tell the real story of your trip.
Imagine looking back years from now: the messy hair from Dublin Bay winds, your kids’ giggles outside a colorful Georgian door, the family picnic in St Stephen’s Green (while fighting for your donut with the seagulls, they can be greedy). These are moments no postcard can give you.
“I am so happy that I booked the day with you.”

What makes my approach different
As a documentary family photographer, I’m not here to pose you in front of every landmark with a stiff smile. My sessions are relaxed, playful, and documentary-style. That means you get photos that feel like you: your unique dynamics, the little bonds and inside jokes that make your family unique.
Instead of “stand still and smile,” I’ll follow you on your walk through Temple Bar, a trip to Howth for fish and chips, or a sunny afternoon in Phoenix Park. The result? Honest, warm photos that instantly bring you back to your Dublin holiday.
How a Dublin holiday photo session works
Choose your time & location: we’ll plan around your family’s vibe, whether you want seaside, city, or park. I can absolutely help you plan ahead as I know where the cute spots are! A home session is also possible if you are renting one.
Relax & enjoy: you don’t need to pose or perform, I’ll take care of everything.
Get your memories: your final gallery will be a mix of candid portraits and natural interactions, perfect for framing or sharing with family back home. A print credit is available in every collection so you can order prints or an album when you get back.
Prices start at €600 for 1.5 hours sessions. An all inclusive, 4 hours session is €1500. See more info on collections & pricing.
The best souvenir from Ireland
Your best keepsake is the way your holiday actually felt. A vacation photography session gives you tangible memories you’ll treasure long after the trip is over. It’s the best gift to your kids for the years to come.
Because when your kids are grown, you won’t remember if the Guinness Storehouse was crowded that day. But you will remember the way they ran carefree through the grass at Phoenix Park, or how they said this was the best trip ever.
FAQ:
Do we need to plan outfits for the shoot?
Not at all! I encourage families to wear what’s comfortable and easy to move in. Think casual, colorful, and true to your style. Bonus points for cozy layers if it’s a breezy Dublin day. Read more about what to wear.
Can we choose the locations in the city?
Absolutely! I’ll guide you to the most photogenic, kid-friendly spots around the city! Cafés with adorable latte art, playgrounds, and scenic walks. But if you have a favorite corner, we can include that too.
What if the weather isn’t great?
No worries! Dublin’s unpredictable weather is part of the fun. A little drizzle or wind makes for authentic, windblown hair shots and cozy layers. We can adjust the route or move indoors if needed.
Can toddlers and kids handle a session?
Totally! I specialize in working with children and know how to make it fun. No standing still and say cheese, just real-life giggles, running, exploring, and discovering Dublin through their eyes. Read more about how to get kids ready.
