Unscripted Documentary Family

candid documentary family photographer dublin:
"fly on the wall"

​My "Fly on the Wall" is all about capturing your story as it unfolds naturally, with little to no posing or staging. My documentary family photography Dublin sessions are designed to be unobtrusive and natural, allowing you to relax and enjoy yourself while I capture the memories. No awkward poses or forced smiles – just genuine family moments of love, laughter, and yes, even the mother of all tantrums!

​

Grandpa rocking his new grandson, your precious niece climbing a tree in her communion gown, or your entire family cracking up laughing -  these are the moments you can't plan for!

​

From intimate gatherings to bigger family celebrations, my documentary family sessions will capture the unfolding narrative of your day. Whether it's a birthday party, anniversary celebration, baptism or communion. Or just a slice of your every day precious life.

​

Contact me and let's start un-planning your best memories!

Location. Choose a place that will co create your story or celebration. It might be a venue like a church or hotel. It could be your home and garden. It could be somewhere wild... But it's the place that will be a character in your story too!

 I like to shoot quickly and capture all those "in between moments". That means you can forget about being photographed and focus on connecting with people. If it's a celebration there is always plenty happening!

 It takes 1-3 weeks to get your edited pictures in a professional online viewing gallery. Expect a mix of black and white and vintage inspired color.  I also offer Giclee pigment prints, framed prints, mounted print boxes and albums a la carte.
