Timeless Family Portraits In Dublin: Outdoor Adventures or Heart Warming Home Sessions
Vintage-inspired Family Portraits paired with Unscripted Moments.
Precious family memories happen right at home - your child cuddling up to you on the sofa, dressing up, or bouncing on the bed. In-home sessions celebrate these moments in a relaxed and natural way.
Prefer to be outdoors, roaming free? Let’s explore the beach, splash in muddy puddles, or climb a tree in the park. Free spirited outdoor sessions capture authentic family portraits as well as unposed, documentary style moments.
My vintage inspired editing includes cinematic black and white and soft, nostalgic colours for a timeless, film-inspired feel.
My popular mini family sessions run year round in Blackrock and Seapoint Beach, making the most of Dublin's seasonal light. You can also find me in Ballsbridge, Sandycove, Glasthule, Dunlaoghaire and Dalkey Village - and locations all over Dublin and beyond!
Spring is in the air! Plan a Dublin photo session and celebrate the new season.

Documentary Family Photography By Cara
I love it when I get asked to do unposed lifestyle and documentary family sessions for a variety of different family occasions. From surprise birthday parties to fun-filled communions, or perhaps a family session at home with small children or babies with little to no posing - life as it is. Have a look at my documentary family page for some unscripted inspiration, and if you like what you see - Contact me to plan the unplanned!
