Newborn Baby Photoshoot Dublin

Calm, baby-led newborn photography — no pressure, no rushing, just a gentle experience for you and your baby.

Looking for a calm newborn photographer in Dublin? You’re in the right place.


Those early days with a new baby pass in a blur of feeds, cuddles and very little sleep. My newborn photography sessions in my Dublin studio are designed to feel calm and reassuring — a gentle, baby-led experience where we take our time and create simple, timeless images without any pressure on you or your baby.


✔ Over 15 years’ experience photographing newborns
✔ Fully insured, award-winning photographer
✔ Purpose-built, calm newborn studio
✔ Baby-led, unhurried sessions — no rushing, ever


Not sure if now is the right time to book?
You don’t need exact dates — most parents just send their due date and I guide them from there.

Is this the right newborn session for you?


Many parents contact me worried their baby won’t settle, they’ll feel stressed, or the session will be overwhelming in those early days.

This experience is designed specifically for that stage of life.


This session tends to suit you perfectly if:


• You don’t want complicated posing or pressure

• You’d like gentle guidance rather than being “directed”

• You want natural, simple images that won’t date

• You just want it to feel easy


You don’t need a sleepy baby or a perfect routine — I work around your baby, not the other way around.

Feeds, cuddles and settling breaks are all part of the session, and we simply pause whenever your baby needs you.

Most parents arrive worried about how it will go, and leave surprised at how calm and relaxed it felt.

Due dates are held flexibly around your baby’s arrival

What Makes My Newborn Sessions Different?

I specialise in gentle, timeless newborn photography for families who value artistry and safety.

A Calm, Baby-Led Newborn Photography Experience

Every newborn session is completely baby-led. That means your baby sets the pace — with plenty of time for feeds, cuddles, settling and breaks whenever needed.

I never force poses or rush a session. Instead, I gently guide your baby into natural, comfortable positions that result in soft, timeless images you’ll treasure for years.

My style is neutral, simple and elegant — keeping the focus exactly where it belongs: on your baby.

When to Book Your Newborn Session

Newborn sessions are ideally photographed when babies are between 10–21 days old, when they are naturally sleepier and more easily settled into curled poses.

That said, I don’t have a strict cut-off age — beautiful images can still be created with older babies, just in a slightly different, more relaxed style.


💛 The best time to book is after your 20-week scan, so you can secure a flexible due-date slot in my calendar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sleeping newborn baby wrapped in a white swaddle, photographed safely with personal keepsake props during a calm, baby-led newborn photography session in a Dublin studio.
Newborn baby resting in a basket beside the family dog during a calm, carefully managed newborn photography session in a Dublin studio.
Awake newborn baby lying comfortably on a soft cushion during a calm, baby-led newborn photography session in a Dublin studio.

Where is your studio based?

My studio is located in Newcastle, Co. Dublin, with easy access from the M50 and N7, and plenty of free parking.

Clients regularly travel from:

  • Dublin
  • Kildare
  • Wicklow
  • Surrounding counties

Do you photograph older babies?

Yes — while newborn sessions are ideal in the first few weeks, I also offer older newborn and baby sessions with a more awake, natural feel.

When is the best time to book my newborn session?

I recommend booking while you’re still pregnant, ideally after your 20-week scan. This means I can reserve a flexible spot around your due date.

Do you offer sessions for older babies?

Absolutely. I don’t have a strict age limit. Whether your baby is a few days or a few months old, I’ll follow their lead and create gentle, natural images. Just note that the further they are away from the magic two weeks old they are the more likely they will be awake and less 'posable' for our session.

What should I bring to my newborn session?

Just your baby and the essentials you’d normally carry in your changing bag – nappies, wipes, a spare outfit, and milk if bottle feeding. I have everything else here in the studio.

How long does the session last?

Sessions usually last about between an hour and 90 minutes, it just depends on baby on the day. We may need breaks for cuddles and feeding, we may not.

Can parents and siblings be included in the session?

Definitely. Your family is a big part of your baby’s story, and I encourage you all to be part of the photographs. Also if you have a special fur baby or fur babies you'd like to include that is no problem as long as they can sit on command.
