Dublin Brand Photography That Feels Like You

Brand photography

Your brand is more than a logo or a colour palette. It’s you — your personality, your values, your energy, and the way you make people feel. And that’s exactly what I love to capture: the real you, in images that feel natural, authentic, and completely aligned.

Whether you’re in need of a fresh set of headshots, or a full gallery of storytelling images for your website and socials, my goal is to make the process feel effortless — so you can finally stop scrambling for stock photos, awkward selfies, or last-minute content. Instead, you’ll have a collection of images at your fingertips that feel professional but never stiff, polished yet still real.

More Than Just Photos

As a business owner myself, I know the juggle – the need to “wear all the hats” and the constant pressure to show up online. That’s why I bring more than just photography to the table. Before we even pick up the camera, I’ll guide you through the planning process, help you uncover the essence of your brand, and design a shoot that reflects your story in an honest and beautiful way.

On the day, my calm, intuitive approach helps you relax (yes, even if you usually dread the camera). I’ll give you direction, but also space to be yourself — so what shines through is the most natural, confident version of you. Past clients often tell me they leave with not just images they love, but also a fresh clarity in how they show up.

Images That Truly Connect

In the end, you’ll walk away with imagery that feels true to you and helps you connect with the people you most want to reach — whether that’s new clients, customers, or collaborators.

Kind Words From My Clients

    For anyone looking for a brand photographer, I highly recommend Maria. She is a total pro, really organized and prepares all the details in advance so the photoshoot day itself runs smoothly. I was a bit nervous on the day but Maria put me at ease and made me feel comfortable, so much so that I enjoyed the day.

    Lorraine Maguire

    It was an incredible experience and I got great results. I felt very looked after the whole time and she went out of her way to support me in the process as much as possible. I love my photos… It’s such a good step to take to bring your business to the next level. Maria also helped me to get clear on my brand vision which is now carrying over into design work with my web designer. A great investment well worth it!

    Lisa de Jong

    We had a fantastic experience working with Maria for our company photoshoot. From our first interaction to final delivery her process was thought through, professional, engaged, and friendly. She took an interest in understanding who we are and what we’re trying to achieve, helped us carve out what we need and put our nerves at ease on the day of the shoot. We liked her flexibility, her warm, friendly demeanour and her professionalism. We are very happy with the final result and would recommend her wholeheartedly.

    Tanja Bueck

Brand Photography Packages

Every brand has different needs, so I offer three flexible packages to suit you — from a core set of images to a full suite of storytelling visuals. Whichever you choose, you’ll come away with photos that feel natural, aligned, and ready to use across your business.

Every package includes:

A brand questionnaire to get clear on your story and vision

A 1:1 planning consultation (Zoom)

Your custom shoot, designed around your brand

A beautifully curated gallery of edited, high- and web-resolution images with full commercial usage rights

Just need headshots? No problem!

Not every business needs a full brand shoot — sometimes you just need a set of strong, professional headshots to update your website, LinkedIn, or marketing. That’s why, alongside my brand photography packages, I also offer a simple Headshots Package. If that sounds like you, get in touch and I’ll send you my detailed Headshots e-brochure.

Real Connection Starts Here

Brand photography

People connect with people. Long before they read your words or book your services, your imagery tells a story — about who you are, what you value, and why your work matters. And when those photos feel authentic and true to you, they don’t just look good, they build trust, spark connection, and attract the people you most want to reach.
