Where will my session be held?
Our newborn sessions are held in the comfort of your own home but don’t panic!!!! We don’t need you to live in some glorious palace and we don’t need the place to be spick and span – trust us, we know what it’s like juggling the demands of a new little one! We promise we will be able to find the perfect spot within your home and you will have images that are all the more meaningful because they bring you right back in time to that familiar space.
Our family sessions take place on location within Co. Wicklow where we are happy to recommend locations in the woods, on the beach or perhaps in your own garden.
A small travel fee may apply for locations more than 25 miles from home base.
How long will my session be?
Newborn sessions typically last 2 hours and our family sessions usually take 45 mins to 1 hour.
We like to do newborn sessions within the first two weeks of life but will happily photograph babies at all ages and stages!
What time do these shoots happen?
Our newborn studio sessions are usually scheduled between 9.30am and 1.30pm while our family outdoor sessions are held at sunrise or sunset – choosing the best day nearer the time weather wise for your shoot.
What should I wear?
Think complimentary colours and muted tones. We will chat with you beforehand to help advise on what best to wear. Best to avoid big slogans or logos as they can be a distraction. Be comfortable. Be yourself!
What if my Children / Husband won’t co-operate?!
Children (and husbands…..) don’t usually respond well to being told to smile or strike a pose. The best thing is to just let them relax and we will capture their gorgeous natural self. Remember our aim is to capture images that show the essence of who you are, not just what you look like. Most of our best work is full of ‘imperfect’ poses! We will be giving lots of direction to you all throughout the shoot so you just concentrate on relaxing and enjoying this quality time together.
It really helps to make sure that young children have rested and eaten before a shoot! Bring some water and snacks (non-messy ones!!) and we can take breaks.
It’s good to prepare young children beforehand so they are not surprised by us turning up with our cameras! Maybe let them know that a friend will be taking some photos. It’s highly likely that by the end of the session we will be great mates!
How can I order prints and products from you?
YAY! We are passionate about our encouraging our families to display their images! We work with a fantastic local artisan framer to produce custom designed frames for your home. We want to make sure these precious memories don’t just exist online.
Within 3-4 weeks of your photo session e-mail a link to your own personal online gallery where you can choose the products and packages that best suit your budget.
Will I get the digital photos from my session?
We do offer high resolution digital files with our packages.
How do you choose which images end up in my gallery?
We look at each and every image we capture at your session and we make our selection on which images represent you as a family and ourselves as artists.
We so look forward to working with you and your family. Don’t be shy about asking any questions and we will see you soon!
