Hi, I'm Cara & I would LOVE to tell your Story

Storytelling Family Photographer That Shines Your Light From The Inside Out
Welcome! I'm Cara, a Dublin family photographer, capturing genuine moments with warmth and honesty.
I specialise in both traditional family portraits and documentary-style photography—capturing those real, unscripted moments you can’t plan for.
Whether it’s a free spirited outdoor session with your toddler pretending to be a bird, a spontaneous game of hide and seek, a cozy in-home newborn session, or a big birthday bash, I’ll tell your story authentically.
​
​My popular mini sessions run year round in Blackrock and Seapoint Beach near Monkstown, making the most of atmospheric seasonal backdrops. You'll also often find me on the coast from Dunlaoghaire through to Dalkey Village - but I travel all over Dublin, and no two family sessions are the same!
Your hand-edited gallery will feature timeless black-and-white and vintage-inspired colours.
​
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me loving spicy Indian food, walking my Frenchie Tony, and dreaming of pretty shoes!
