Fly On The Wall: Documentary Lifestyle and Family Photographer Dublin:
​My "Fly on the Wall" photography is all about capturing your story as it unfolds naturally, with little to no posing or staging. These documentary family and lifestyle sessions are designed to be unobtrusive, allowing you to relax and enjoy yourself while I capture the memories. No awkward poses or forced smiles – just genuine family moments full 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 unposed reportage 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.
​
I am an award winning member of DFA (Documentary Family Awards) and This Is Reportage: Family

Unposed Sessions: What To Expect From The Unexpected
1
Choose a location that will co create your story or celebration. It might be an event venue, a church or hotel. It could be a session in your own home and garden. It could be somewhere wild outdoors... But it's the place that will be a character in your story too!
2
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 timeless black and white paired with vintage inspired colour. I also offer Giclee pigment prints, framed prints, mounted print boxes and albums a la carte.
Environmental Child and Family Portraits Are About The Surroundings That Enhance The Story..
A communion party outdoors in the Liberties Dublin, with family gathered after the mass with party balloons, goodie bags and lemonade. A christening in a church with big stained glass windows, full of family and friends. Twin boys catching gold balloons at a surprise engagement party in a pub in Glasthule, Dublin. Or a quiet moment at home with your child playing with toys. Environmental family and child portraits are a key element of my Fly On The Wall documentary family photography sessions Dublin. Although there may be some consideration of backdrop and lighting to enhance composition, the rest is all about authentic, soulful connection. The heartfelt expressions and gestures that speak volumes.
