Family Portrait Photography Packages

Because kids grow so fast and magical moments don’t come twice.


Family portraits don’t need to be formal or fussy.


They can be filled with giggles, cuddles, chaos, and the kind of real moments that make you smile every time you see them on your wall.


Your Family, Just as They Are

Whether it’s your little one’s cheeky grin, your teen’s “not another photo” face, or the way you all pile together for a hug, I’m here to capture your family just as you are.


Why families love these sessions:


  • Quick, relaxed shoots — perfect for little attention spans
  • Genuinely enjoyable session

  • Beautiful edits you’ll actually want on your wall
  • Access to your private online gallery

A Calm, Private Studio Experience for Families

All family and children’s portrait sessions are photographed by me alone, in my private studio just outside Dublin. There are no assistants, no busy studio environment, and no pressure to perform. Sessions are calm, relaxed, and led at your family’s pace, which works especially well for children who may feel shy or a little unsure at first. The aim is always to make the experience enjoyable and stress-free, so natural expressions and real moments come through in the portraits.

What to Expect for your family portrait photography session

From the moment you arrive, my aim is to make things easy and fun. No awkward poses or fake smiles, just genuine, relaxed moments that reflect who you are as a family.

I’ll help you feel comfortable in front of the camera (yes, even the dads who “hate photos”) and make sure your session feels effortless. You’ll receive your private gallery about two weeks later, where you can choose your favourites and explore printing or framing options right here in the studio.

Need Some Inspiration?


Not sure whether to go for classic studio portraits, themed shoots, or outdoors? Here are a few things to think about…


If you like calm, clean spaces (and somewhere to bribe the kids with snacks), a studio session might be your best bet. It’s cosy, easy, and we can control everything, including lighting, background, and even the temperature. The results are timeless and elegant, with no distractions, just your family, beautifully lit and captured forever.

If you’re a bit more adventurous or want something unique, a themed shoot is brilliant fun. Look at the Christmas magic we can create in the studio – regardless of the weather outside! We can play with props, backgrounds, and colours to match your family’s vibe. Whether that’s soft and dreamy or bold and full of personality. The results are creative and expressive, perfect if you love photos that tell a story or make people smile the second they see them.

And if your family feels most at home outdoors, let’s take it outside. We’ll make the most of Ireland’s countryside and light (and work around the occasional gust of wind or rain). You’ll end up with natural, storytelling portraits, full of movement, laughter, and genuine moments you can’t fake.

Whichever you choose, it’s all about capturing your family’s real connections. The fun, the love, and the beautifully imperfect moments that make your story yours.

Still Deciding? Take a Peek at These!

If you’re still gathering ideas, take a look around before you decide. You might love the creativity and storytelling in my Fine Art Portraits, or the soft, natural tones in my Children’s Portrait Gallery For something truly magical, don’t miss my Christmas Portrait Magic page — it’s full of festive inspiration and cosy, glowing family moments. And if you’re planning a personal or professional refresh, my Professional Headshots might spark a few ideas too.

Each session has its own style and energy. So, take your time, explore the options, and see what feels right for you. When you’re ready, I’ll help you plan a photoshoot that’s relaxed, creative, and full of heart.
