Family Photographer in Waterford – Natural, Relaxed Sessions

What to Expect During Your Newborn Photography Session

A Relaxed, Real‑Life Approach

I don’t require or expect perfect clothing or a pristine house, what matters most is that your space feels like you. My family photography is all about capturing real, everyday moments in the place where your family feels most comfortable.

Authentic, Natural Images

I’m a storyteller, and I photograph what’s in front of me with honesty and intention.

While it’s natural to want to look your best, I encourage you to take the pressure off and simply enjoy the experience. Wear what you like, be you, be comfortable and I will guide you in a way that feels natural and flattering.

Family Investment, When is the right time?

The best time for a Family Session is right NOW! At this age, doing these little things, before the moment passes and all of a sudden they are into something different. Your Family Session is an experience. Its an hour of fun, laughter and maybe some awkward moments as we get familiar with each other, but its a day to remember. Your Family grow so fast, their personalities develop and change and all of a sudden they are all grown up. Stop for a minute and capture a moment, feel happy and be proud of the family you are. Photography will allow you to remember this feeling.

The Family sessions are about getting together as a family and I basically follow you around for an hour or so, prompting you here and there. The session is relaxed and fun. It is all about capturing you in an authentic way, nothing over posed, just gentle guided poses to capture you and your family as you are right now. I want you to be yourself, wear whatever you want, go wherever you want to go and Ill capture you. So, gather the troops and get the wet gear on and lets explore what's outside.

Products and their importance to me

Get those images on the walls

My belief is that every person should be framed in the moments they’ve felt the most loved and cared for.

After almost 20 years of working in a Photo lab, I understand the importance of printing your images. I also understand how difficult it is to get this done on your own. I hate the 'safe on a USB key or in the cloud' scenario.

After investing so much and to leave them sitting on a computer or on the phone to me is just only half way there. We need them on the walls, fill the walls even, in a book on the sideboard, images of our loved ones should be everywhere.

This is why I have included products with each of my packages, but I do not use high street quality products. Each product I have chosen has been tested and inspected .

They are made to the finest quality in Professional studios in Europe and Ireland and they are hand finished. They are premium quality and will stand the test of time.

Editing & Gallery Delivery

Your images are carefully selected, artistically edited, and presented in a private online gallery. Delivery is typically 2–3 weeks after your session.
