Laura Griffin, Documentary Family Photographer, Kerry family photographer

This was such a special session.

I’ve known this couple for a good few years now and I have to say, it was truly such a joy to photograph and film them as they start this new stage of their life with baby Lianna. Despite the lack of sleep and stress that inevitably is part of being a new parent, the love that they have for her and for each other was beautiful to document. 

Despite the lack of sleep and stress that is inevitably a part of being a new parent, the amount of love that these parents have for her and for each other was beautiful to see and document.

I hope this film serves as a warm memento of this stage of their lives. The days when she was just learning to roll over; her dislike for socks regardless of how cute they are; her uncanny ability to spot the most discreet camera and just stare at it; and that laugh… May these 2 minutes and 51 seconds bring joy to the family now and for years to come.
