See Your Loved Ones in a New Light This Christmas: Cara, Family Photographer Dublin.

Hi, I’m Cara. As an award winning family photographer Dublin, I specialize in relaxed, location-based lifestyle and family photo shoots all around the city and surrounding areas.

You can choose to have your session in a leafy park that changes with the seasons, or in the warmth and comfort of your home and garden.


As well as photographing children, babies and newborns, I also love to photograph teenagers, young adults, and adults (I am mum to teenagers and young adults myself!) Below, a recent couples photography session in a Blackrock garden with my own daughter!

For families with newborns or babies, at-home family sessions are especially popular. There’s something magical about capturing your new baby in the rooms of your home, that also tell the story of your life.

During our time together, I may point you in the direction of pretty light for timeless portraits, but other times, I will capture whatever naturally comes up as well. Every session with me is designed to be stress free with a strong element of fun. Often the magic happens in those carefree, unexpected moments that you can't plan for!

The result? A mix of traditional portraits and candid documentary family photography that truly reflect your family’s unique personality. For example, I caught a moments when these two were happily playing peekaboo with the folds of mum's dress.
