"A photograph is the pause button of life."
For me, being Baby Photographer in Kildare is a dream come true. It is the most fabulous job even though the sessions are not always easy. I love to spend my days with lovely families and capture beautiful photos of their youngest members.
I’m very greatful for all the families who come into my little studio and trust me with their most precious treasure, their new baby. ♥
If you’d like to see some of the pictures I created please visit the newborn gallery page.
Every November I offer Christmas Sessions in my cozy studio in Athy, County Kildare.
I have two beautiful festive scenes to capture amazing photos of children and also family photos of up to 6 people.
I have a great collection of props which can be used during Christmas photos so even the smallest babies are welcome for some festive fun. ♥
For the last 7 years I work as a baby photographer in my little studio located in Athy, County Kildare. I am really blessed to be able to do what I love. Babies are such a wonderful subject to capture on my photographs.
I love every aspect of my work, from getting the initial inquiry, through preparing some beautiful backdrops and props, meeting wonderful families, taking their photos, editing the files and getting the printed photos.
I am grateful to every family who trusts me with their greatest treasures, their babies. ♥
I understand that not everyone wants their child to be publicly shown on the Internet, and I am even more grateful to those who allow me to show their children on my website so that others can see the results of my work.
Christmas Session in my little studio is a short photoshoot on beautiful festive scenes.
When I put together my Christmas backgrounds, I have in mind all the little boys and girls who will come and play here. I want them to feel good and have lots of fun. They can play with toys, blocks or read a book while I will take their photos.
This year I have two backdrops for my Christmas Sessions. Family photos can be taken on my Teddy Bear background. It’s a playroom scene full of teddy bears, toys and books.
That Teddy Bear playroom can accommodate entire families of up to 6 people so you all can have fun time while I capture some beautiful photos of your time together. ♥
Christmas Mini Sessions 2023 are now open for booking so please read the info below.

In the blink of an eye, Adam graduated primary school. I still can’t believe how fast it went. It seems like yesterday we brought him there for the first time and tonight was his graduation. I hope he’ll be very happy in the secondary school. ♥
Toddlers are full of energy and usually don’t want to stay still for photographs. But today I met the best little model. Dylan was happy to pose with his new baby sister and on his own. He gave me lots of gorgeous smiles. ♥
The best time for a newborn photoshoot is within the first two weeks after the labour and it doesn’t change with an early delivery.
In case your baby arrives much earlier then the due date, the best time for newborn photos is between 6-14 days after returning home from the hospital.
This morning I had the pleasure to welcome beautiful Annie back in my little studio and take photos on her First Holy Communion Day.
She looked absolutely stunning, posed like a professional model and gave me lots of beautiful smiles.
Today I invited my sons for a quick boys’ photoshoot in the studio before the puppy gets too big to be held in their arms.
Oh, it was sooo funny as the puppy only wanted to explore and sniff everything instead of sitting with them in one place. At the end we managed to get few fab photos.
