Portrait Photography

As your family grows, there will be so many special occasions & milestones that are perfect reasons to update your family portrait – whether it’s to welcome a new addition to the family, to celebrate a birthday, a communion or confirmation, or just to capture a particular moment in time, you are guaranteed to capture a moment that you will treasure forever.

The Approach

I can’t stress enough just how important family photos are.

These days, we all have hundreds of photos of our family stored away on our phones and computer hard drives, but there’s something extra special about a professional portrait, printed and beautifully framed, hanging with pride on your wall. I love welcoming families of all sizes and ages into my studio to capture the perfect family portrait. I aim to create a fun and relaxing atmosphere so that the individual personalities of each family member can shine through in their photos.

A family photo shoot here in the studio is €100 and would last up to approx. 1 hour.

During this time I will take a variety of different photos, such as the whole family together, the children together and individually and any other particular photos you would like.

After the shoot, we will schedule a separate appointment for a viewing in my stunning viewing room. This usually takes place approx. 1-2 weeks after your shoot. During this viewing, you can place your order for any images you like. Everything from the studio comes as a fully finished printed piece in either a beautiful frame, blockmount, photo album or glass block.

Please note, I do not sell or issue any digital images from the portrait studio.

FAQs

How much is a family portrait shoot?

A portrait shoot here in the studio is €100.

I would always put aside approx. an hour for a family portrait shoot. However this would vary, depending on the size of the family and the ages of the children – young children can get tired of the camera very quickly, so in these situations, I will work very fast to get the best out of them!

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 children.

All of my portrait shoots are held in the comfort of my cosy studio in Fashion City, Ballymount.

Absolutely! Whoever you would like in your family photos are more than welcome to attend the shoot.

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.

Everything from the portrait studio comes as a fully finished printed image finished in a custom frame, block mount, glass block or photo album. Your finished portraits will be ready for collection approx 3 weeks from the time of order.
