Dublin newborn photographer, specialising in Beautiful, Natural Newborn Photography
From the moment you first hold your newborn, everything changes. Those early days are fleeting – tiny fingers and toes, delicate eyelashes, and all the little details grow and change so quickly.
A professional newborn photoshoot is the perfect way to preserve these precious moments forever. As an experienced Dublin newborn photographer, I specialise in creating natural, timeless portraits that capture your baby’s first days. With over 10 years’ experience and hundreds of happy Dublin families, you’re in safe, trusted hands.
All sessions take place in my comfortable, purpose-built studio in Ballymount Dublin 12, easily accessible for families across Dublin and the surrounding counties. Whether you’re searching for a newborn or baby photographer in Dublin, we’d love to welcome you to our studio.
Your Newborn Photography Experience with Photos by Jen
As a trusted baby photographer in Dublin with over 10 years' experience, Jenny specialises in natural, timeless portraits.
My approach to newborn photography is simple, natural, and completely baby-led. I specialise in capturing authentic moments without heavy props or styling, letting your baby’s personality and beauty shine through.
During your session, I work gently and patiently, creating a calm, relaxed environment where natural expressions and real connections unfold. My purpose-built studio in Dublin is thoughtfully designed for the comfort of both parents and newborns, making every session stress-free and enjoyable.
The result is a collection of timeless, baby-focused portraits that celebrate your newborn’s first days – soft, natural images that capture the pure connection between you and your baby.
Types of Newborn Photoshoots in our Dublin Studio
Capture your baby’s first days in the way that suits your family best. We offer two signature newborn photography sessions in our Dublin studio: a Mini Newborn Shoot, perfect for baby-focused portraits, or a Full Newborn & Family Shoot, which includes beautiful images of your little one alongside parents and siblings.
Mini Newborn Shoot
Capture your newborn’s first moments with a relaxed, one-hour studio newborn photoshoot. Our Mini Sessions focus entirely on your baby, creating timeless, baby-focused portraits that you’ll treasure forever.
The package (€245) includes the one-hour session and two 6×8” gift prints, professionally mounted and signed by Jenny. A €50 booking fee secures your session, with the remaining €195 due on the day
Please note, these shoots are exclusively for baby only
Your images will be available in a private online gallery about one week after your session, where you can select your prints and order additional photos, albums, or digital images if desired.
Newborn & Family Shoot
Capture the love and connection of your new family with our two-hour Newborn & Family Shoots! These sessions are perfect for Mum, Dad, and baby, and we warmly encourage including siblings to ensure every precious family moment is documented. As a family and newborn photographer in Dublin, I believe these first portraits together are some of the most important you will ever own.
A separate Viewing & Ordering appointment will be scheduled for you approx 1-2 weeks after your shoot back here at our Dublin studio. In the comfort of our cosy viewing room, you will be shown a beautiful slideshow of all your gorgeous images before we go through them individually and choose which you would like to order.
A 2-hour Newborn & Family shoot is €150, which is payable at the time of booking. After that, prices vary depending on the size of print and style of frame or finishing you choose. Custom framed pieces range from €165 – €715. However, we do have a very special package for Newborns priced at €545. This includes the shoot cost and two beautiful framed pieces, ready for hanging in your home.

Newborn Photography FAQs
When should I book my newborn photographer in Dublin?
We would recommend getting in touch about 3-4 weeks before your due date in order to book your shoot for some time within the first 10 days to two weeks after the baby arrives. Read our full newborn photography planning guide.
What is the best age for a newborn photoshoot?
I like to capture little ones when they are between 5 &10 days old. This is when they are most sleepy and can be easily positioned into the gorgeous poses that you would have seen on my Newborn gallery. However, if your baby is already past this stage, it’s not too late, I photograph babies of all ages.
What should I bring for my baby to the photoshoot?
I like to keep things really simple. I encourage parents to bring along a couple of white babygro’s (my Zipzee Gro’ is perfect and can be purchased in the studio or here) & vests to begin with. But there is nothing more adorable than just your baby’s skin, which is why I photograph them without clothes. There is no fear of baby getting cold as I keep the studio nice and warm so that your baby feels comfortable and cozy. If you have any items that have special or sentimental meanings, such as blankets or teddy bears, please feel free to bring them along.
Can siblings be included in the newborn photos?
Absolutely! I would always encourage both parents and siblings to attend the Newborn & Family shoot. This is a great opportunity to get a family portrait of everyone together at this very special time. These portraits are taken at the beginning of the session when we have everyone’s full attention.
Please note, our Mini Newborn Shoots are exclusively for baby only.
What should we wear for our family and newborn photos?
The most important thing is that you are comfortable with what you are wearing. I like to keep my portraits looking timeless so I would recommend wearing simple, neutral colours. Smart casual always works best. Please try to avoid heavily patterned items of clothing or anything with logos. This also applies for siblings.
How long does a newborn photography session last?
I would always put aside at least 2 hours for a Newborn & Family shoot. Newborn babies can be very unpredictable. While they love to sleep, they will most likely want a feed, a nappy change or some cuddles during their time at the studio. Your baby is the boss on the day so we will take as many breaks as they need to ensure they are completely comfortable.
For our Mini Newborn Shoots, 1 hour is plenty of time.
Where are your newborn photography sessions held?
All of my Newborn shoots are held in the comfort of my cosy studio in Unit B6 Ballymount Corporate Park.
You can find the studio on Google Maps here.
During the shoot all you need to do is relax with a nice cup of tea, read a magazine and leave the rest up to me. With over ten years experience, your baby will be in very safe hands.
How do I view my photos?
For Newborn & Family shoots, your images will be ready to view approximately 10 days to 2 weeks after your shoot. You will be invited back to the studio where you can view your images for the first time on a large screen in the comfort of our viewing room. This will also be the time to place your order.
Please note, only images from our Mini Newborn Shoots are available to view online.
How do I receive my photos?
Everything from the portrait studio comes as a fully finished printed image finished in either a custom frame, mounted gift print, glass block or photo album. Your finished portraits will be ready for collection approx 3-4 weeks from the time of order.
High Resolution Digital images are also now available to order from the studio. These are usually ready approx 1-2 weeks after you order and will be sent to you via a Download Link.
Can I purchase digital copies of my images?
Yes, High Resolution Digital copies of your photos are now available to purchase. These are available as individual images or can be purchased in bundles of 5, 10 or 20.
How much does a newborn portrait shoot cost?
The initial cost of a Newborn & Family shoot is €150, this is payable on the day. After, that prices vary depending on the size of print and style of frame or finishing you choose. Custom framed pieces range from €165 – €715. However, we do have a very special package for Newborns priced at €545. This includes the shoot cost and two beautiful framed pieces, ready for hanging in your home.
Our new Mini Newborn Package is €245. This includes the 1 hour studio shoot (for baby only) and two 6×8″ gift prints, professionally mounted and signed by Jenny. A €50 booking fee is payable at the time of order to secure your booking. The balance of €195 is payable on the day of your shoot.
