Dublin Family Photography: Outdoor Autumn & Christmas Sessions

Updated: 6 days ago

One Of The Best Family Photographer's Dublin: Capture Your Precious Moments in a timeless, vintage style.


Autumn in Dublin brings a magical transformation, as leaves of yellow, gold, and red create gorgeous natural backdrops for family photography.


As a an experienced professional family photographer in Dublin, and member of Click Pro Elite, I specialize in capturing these unique, seasonal moments that make family portraits precious for generations to come.


In a recent family photo session in Carysfort Park, Blackrock, the red of the falling leaves complemented the pop of red from my daughter's gloves. We experimented with hand gestures and close-ups to add a touch of drama!

Family Photography Dublin: Outdoor Sessions Perfect for Every Season


I offer family photography sessions all year round, from the blossoming pinks of spring to the earthy tones of autumn and festive Christmas shoots. Recently, I captured this gorgeous family below in a mini session in a Blackrock park ....I loved getting to ground level and capturing these two little ones playing with mum's long skirts.

Experimenting with Natural Light and Colour for Emotive Family Portraits


Golden hour light is my favorite for family photography Dublin sessions, bringing warmth and dimension to outdoor shots.

My family photo shoots have a gentle, vintage inspired quality. I favour cinematic black and white edits or subtle, slightly de-saturated vintage colour.

One of my favourite things to do is to play around with tint to get just enough warmth and red tones in my images, whilst still preferring a really natural look that isn't too bright or saturated. I find golden hour lights needs minimum re-touching as the light is usually almost perfect. Soft mellow light is very flattering for most family portraits.

If I am doing a photo session earlier in the day I will look out for the shade of trees, and thankfully, in my favourite gardens around Blackrock there are plenty to choose from!

Christmas Family Photography Dublin – Capture the Festive Spirit!


As we get closer to the Christmas season, many families are choosing Christmas family photo shoots in Dublin. These festive mini sessions in Blackrock and Seapoint beach in Dublin are ideal for creating unique Christmas cards (particularly for my American friends!) or cherished gifts. My 30-minute mini sessions include all the best digital images that are fully edited in a downloadable gallery with a personalized cover.

These Christmas sessions are part of my seasonal minis that run throughout the year.
