There’s something about those first few weeks…
the tiny stretches, the sleepy sighs, the way they curl into you.It’s a time filled with love — but also a little overwhelming.
And before you know it, it begins to change.This is your chance to slow everything down for a moment…
and hold onto these early days, just as they are.


I’m currently booking due dates through to July & August 26, with limited spaces remaining.

With over 15 years of experience, I’ve become known to many of my families as The Baby Whisperer.


My sessions are completely baby-led, meaning your little one sets the pace from start to finish.


There’s no pressure for them to sleep, no rushed posing, and no expectations — just a calm, gentle environment where your baby is safe, comfortable, and beautifully captured.


The Experience

A Calm, Baby-Led Newborn Photography Experience


Every part of your session has been designed to feel relaxed and effortless.

  • A warm, calm studio space
  • Plenty of time for feeding and settling
  • Soft, neutral styling provided
  • Gentle guidance for parents throughout
  • Sessions typically lasting 60–90 minutes

You don’t need to prepare anything perfectly — everything flows around your baby.

A Calm, Baby-Led Newborn Photography Experience

You might be wondering…
“What if my baby doesn’t settle?”
“What if I don’t know what to do?”
Please don’t worry.
You’ll be gently guided every step of the way, and your baby is never rushed or forced into anything.
These sessions are designed to feel calm — for both of you.


Newborn sessions begin from €325, with most families choosing

a more complete collection once they see their gallery.

I take on a limited number of newborn sessions each month to allow flexibility around your baby’s arrival.
Because of this, most families book during pregnancy to secure a space.

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.

I regularly welcome families from across Dublin, Kildare, Wicklow and surrounding areas.

When should I book a newborn photographer in Dublin/Kildare?

I recommend booking your newborn session while you’re still pregnant, ideally after your 20-week scan. This allows me to reserve a flexible space around your due date and ensures availability.

What age is best for newborn photos?

Newborn sessions are usually photographed between 10–21 days old, when babies tend to be sleepier and more naturally curled.

However, every baby is different, and beautiful images can be created at any stage.

Do you photograph older newborns or babies?

Yes, absolutely. I don’t have a strict age limit.

If your baby is a little older, sessions tend to be more awake and expressive, with lovely eye contact and personality. My baby-led approach means I adapt each session to suit your baby.

What should I bring to my newborn session?

You just need to bring your baby and the essentials you’d normally have in your changing bag — nappies, wipes, a spare outfit, and milk if bottle feeding.

Everything else is provided in the studio, including wraps, blankets and styling.

How long does the newborn session last?

Sessions usually last between 60–90 minutes, depending on your baby.

There is always time for feeding, cuddles and settling, ensuring a calm and relaxed experience throughout.

Can parents and siblings be included in the session?

Yes, of course. Your family is a big part of your baby’s story, and I always encourage parents and siblings to be included. Fur babies too if you'd like :)
