Portrait Photography Mayo

Natural Family photography, capturing the best of you and your loved ones.

You want family photos but you want them to be natural. You want it to be hassle free and fun and in the end you want beautiful family photos that make your heart swell with pride. You would love photos that show everyone’s personalities, whether they are quiet and introverted, curious explorers or just completely bonkers. Most of all, you want to celebrate your crazy little family and the uniqueness of your relationships.

I get it, I really do.

My main aim is to capture you and your loved ones as you are, in a setting where you are most comfortable and relaxed or a space where everyone loves to explore and maybe even go a little wild! That can be your home, the beach, favourite forest or even a big family get together, we will make it work!

I know how nerve wracking & stressful it can be to organise a family photoshoot and to get everyone together, sort outfits and co-ordinate timings. You may even feel really self conscious about being photographed yourself. I will offer all the advice and help you want and together we will create a setting where everyone is happy and comfortable.

And I promise the results will be worth it! Bring yourselves and leave the rest to me!

Photography for all stages of Life

Photography has been a love of mine for a very long time. Portraiture has always been at the centre of what I do and everything has stemmed from there. Well before I ever picked up a camera, I was the kid that would drag out the shoeboxes full of photos and spend hours looking through them.  I love the little glimpse into peoples lives and seeing connections with loved ones. Now being about to show people that connection and letting them truly see themselves and celebrate their families is incredible. Knowing that the importance of these photographs is only ever going to increase as time passes by, is the icing on the cake.


Photos to cherish…

  • Caroline made us and our little boy feel so comfortable during our baby photoshoot and captured so many beautiful photos that we will cherish. She was so friendly and easy to work with and the outcome is beautiful natural pictures. We couldn’t recommend her more.

Happy Valentine’s to all my gorgeous couples, but Happy Valentine’s to all my gorgeous couples, but especially to all of those celebrating their first valentines as a married couple!

One such couple are Aaron and Alpona who were lucky enough to have not 1 but 2 wedding celebrations, the first in @sligo_parkhotel in November!
They had a beautiful church ceremony followed by a lively reception surrounded by family and friends. I can only imagine how much fun the second celebrations were in Mumbai.
Such a gorgeous, fun-loving couple who were an absolute dream to work with, even happy to brave the cold for some fab outdoor shots. 💗
