"Photography for me is not looking, it's feeling. If you can't feel what you're looking at, then you're never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures."

Don McCullin

Newborn Photography

Those first days and weeks with your baby are fleeting — hazy, tender, and utterly life-changing. My approach is calm, natural, and baby-led, capturing the tiny details and simple beauty of your baby without props or fuss. Just honest, heartfelt images that honour the magic of this new beginning for your family and the love that surrounds them.

Kind Words From My Clients

    “I really can’t recommend Maria enough for taking the most precious pictures of your newborn! The photo session itself was such an enjoyable experience. It was so lovely to take some time out and enjoy a couple of hours together as a new family… We ended up getting a gallery of photos and absolutely love them! They will be on our walls forever”.

    Maeve Walsh

    “I booked a family photo session to mark two landmark birthdays… It is without doubt the best gift I could get! I loved working with Maria. She achieved such beautiful, relaxed outdoor photos… Everything she did was extremely professional and with great attention to detail… The results are beyond my expectations! I’d highly recommend Maria and I’d strongly consider making the investment in capturing your own family”.

    Shaughna Whelan

    Maria did an amazing job capturing this special get together. She was incredibly patient with all the different combinations of groups and really took the time to make sure everyone was comfortable and at ease. The quality of the photos we received was exquisite and the finish was so professional. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone looking to capture memories.

    Patricia Kane

    The photos are everything we hoped for and more, capturing the fun and spirit of our two little girls. The wall art we ordered is absolutely stunning, the quality is amazing. We’re so happy with every aspect of the service.

    Emma Ryan

    The whole process and her approach was fantastic… She took so much time with us and as a parent herself was patient and understanding when we needed to stop for a snack. The finished product we received was even better than we expected and we love the pictures. We would highly recommend Maria for anyone looking for beautiful family photos.

    Emer McCarthy

    Maria is great at capturing the essence of who you are and I couldn’t recommend her more! On both occasions our dog was part of the shoot and she captured some amazing photos.

    Iulia Cochior

    We had a wonderful experience with Maria… On the day she put us immediately at ease. I don’t enjoy being in front of the camera but with Maria’s guidance and style I really enjoyed the experience, as did my family! The photos she captured were very natural but with perfect lighting, she has a great eye for location and timing.

    Claire Molony

    The whole process was easy and so professional. Maria was brilliant with the children, she really brought them on board, made the photo shoot fun and they are delighted to see their pictures up on the wall.

    Caitriona McGovern

    The whole experience from start to finish was so easy and enjoyable, much more than I had expected. Maria goes above and beyond to ensure the highest quality of all aspects of the process and is a very talented photographer.

    Colette Maher

    Maria manages to be both professional and personal. She has the balance just right between candid photos and guiding you where needed. She made photographing a very busy toddler and baby seem easy. Neither my husband or I are comfortable with having photos taken but she put us both at ease and the end products were just stunning.

    Bláithin Seery

    My very reluctant husband and stubborn toddler thoroughly enjoyed the session, even relaxing and smiling. As we played, Maria provided gentle guidance and captured stunning relaxed photos.

    Emma Tobin

    Maria has a beautiful way of bringing out natural smiles and interactions, and keeping the kids happy throughout! We had a wonderful photo session and I am beyond thrilled with the images.

    Jen Crawford

    Maria was amazing with my boys… they had so much fun with Maria and that sense of mischief and fun translated into some pretty magical shots. She captured my boys out in nature, in their element and l couldn’t be happier with the result.

    Orla Roberts

    Maria has photographed our family on 3 occasions and each time the shoot was so much fun, she makes everyone so at ease, and all from the comfort of our home!

    Maria Allman

    The sessions with Maria were lovely and calm – the pace was always just right. Maria listened to us and also gave brilliant direction. You really get the sense Maria feels passionate about capturing precious moments – it shows in the end result!

    Ciara Bannon

    It was Maria’s warmth towards us, the fact that she made us feel like the centre of the world in an instant, how easy she made the process, the photographs, top notch professionalism.

    Agransh Anand

    Fantastic, talented photographer who was very reassuring and easy to work with. We are new parents and Maria was extremely flexible and brilliant with our newborn.

    Katherine Benson

    I thought it would be stressful getting pictures with a week-old baby and toddler but it was such a relaxed session. Maria was such a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. I will be booking her for another family shoot in the future.
