DOCUMENTARY STYLE
FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
No posing. No pretending.
Capturing you just as you are.
You get roughly 936 weekends from when your baby is born to when they turn 18. Let’s capture one of them.
Don’t worry, I won’t bombard your inbox. I’ll only send you on the good stuff like exclusive content, special offers and exciting updates!
“On meeting Laura we felt we knew her forever. She was so calm and patient and also very understanding of my kids needs especially Elena (parents of kids with additional needs appreciate those little things).
-Gayle, Co. Mayo
We are constantly taking photos with our phones but how many of them are you in? How many have you printed? How many give you a feeling of what that moment felt like?
During our session, I’ll make sure you have those images that tug at the heart strings. Ones that you and your family will look back on to remind you of what that season of life was like. Images that will capture moments you didn’t even know were happening.
Everyone has a different budget and preferences when it comes to photography and products which is why I offer Session Fee + Add Ons.

After I arrive, we will get to know each other a bit more and then you get to continue on with your day. No worrying about posing or looking a certain way for these family photos. All you have to do is, well, just be you!

PURCHASE DIGITALS & PRODUCTS
Once your gallery is ready, you can purchase the products and images you love.
Book a session = Plant a tree
So I’ve decided to combine my love for the great outdoors with my love for photography in a small but hopefully meaningful way.
With every family film or photography session that is booked, a tree will be planted on your behalf by Hometree, a non-profit based in West Clare.
Hometree work to establish and conserve permanent native woodland in Ireland, encouraging land regeneration and biodiversity through afforestation, restoration and education.
Family Photography FAQs
HOW LONG BEFORE I SEE THE IMAGES?You'll be able to view your private online gallery 3-5 weeks after the session.
DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH OTHER EVENTS?I don't offer wedding or birth documentation as these are specialist fields of family photography but I am more than happy to document newborns within their first few days/weeks as well as other family gatherings. These would be documented in the same storytelling/documentary approach.
WILL MY PHOTOS BE SHARED ONLINE?While I love to show others the memories we captured together, I completely understand if you would like to keep these images private. Just let me know and I will of course respect your decision.
DO WE NEED TO PLAN AN ACTIVITY?For the longer sessions (4-10 hrs) you don't need to plan anything unless there is a certain day of the week that you normally do an activity together (market day/beach day etc..) that you would love captured. If you don't have anything specific in mind, I'm happy capturing normal daily events around the house as they unfold. For the shorter sessions, maybe think about any specific activities that you love doing together (making pancakes, playing games, going to the park).
WHAT IF THE KIDS (OR PARENTS) GET TIRED?That is expected, especially for the long sessions. That is the great thing about this style of photography. It is all about documenting your every day family life; tantrums, naps, daily routines all included.
CAN YOU EDIT OUT A SPOT I DON'T LIKE?I do a light edit on all of my photos but do not add in or take away anything from the scene during the session or in the edit.
DO YOU HAVE INSURANCE?Yes, as a professional photographer and filmmaker I have public liability and professional indemnity insurance, as well as insurance for all my gear.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?Session fees start at €240 which does not include any digitals or products. Get in touch and I'll take you through the full price guide.
