Real Family photography

Hi, I’m Maria — a passionate photographer who gets how beautifully full-on life can be when you’re raising little humans and building a business. I also know how powerful it is to have photos that feel meaningful, genuine, and authentically you — without the stress.

Whether you’re after natural, emotive family portraits or personal branding photos that align with your energy and values, I’m here to make the whole experience feel effortless (and even fun!). I work with a gentle, intuitive approach that puts you at ease — whether in the great outdoors, at home with your family, or in a space that reflects your brand’s unique vibe.

For me, photography is more than just pictures. It’s about storytelling. It’s about connection. It’s about celebrating the real you, in every role you play. And that’s the spirit I bring to every session.

If you’re a busy mum, a heart-led business owner, or both — and want more than just pictures — I’d love to hear from you.

Kind Words From My Clients

    We have been to Jodi twice now to capture some truly beautiful pictures of our family. We’ve had such a wonderful experience both times and will certainly return to capture some more beautiful memories together.

    Alex

    Jodi is an amazing photographer – we’ve used her for over 4 years now capturing beautiful photos / memories of our two children . We love how natural and timeless the photographs are and her studio is a really inviting , warm and comfortable environment. Jodi really ensures you get a variety of lovely shots and is very calm and patient especially when the little ones are being fussy.

    Rebecca

    Jodi is absolutely fabulous. Her photographs always provide us such precious memories and she’s just wonderful with the girls making sure everything is relaxed and fun to capture the best moments!

    Grace

    We’ve used Jodi multiple times now to capture special moments as our family has grown – her style of photography is beautiful and timeless. The second you step in the studio you’re at ease, and the effort she puts in to securing those perfect shots is nothing short of super human. Jodi thank you so much for helping create our beautiful photographs – they are a treasure.

    Jennifer

    The images we received from Jodi absolutely surpassed our expectations – they were absolutely perfect. I was a little concerned as we had a very fussy baby on the day of the shoot, Jodi was patient with him and worked her magic by getting him relaxed and comfortable for the pictures. The studio is a lovely environment and I felt comfortable breastfeeding my new baby whilst there. If you’re thinking of booking a shoot I would do it in a heartbeat because the images and whole experience are invaluable. Thank you so much!

    Charlotte

    I’ve used Jodi for both my sons 1st birthday shoots and she’s amazing. Extremely patient and understanding when my boys were being a bit fussy and clingy. The photo’s are so classic and timeless. Her cabin is beautiful and Jodi made us all feel so welcome. Would definitely recommend and will be back for future shoots.

    Ellen

    We have used Jodi for a few family shoots now and we are always thrilled with the outcome! How she manages to capture such wonderful smiles from a very fidgety toddler we will never know! She also has a gift of sending a baby to sleep, she has done this amazingly well with both our children. We are always made to feel comfortable in her studio and treated so warmly and kindly. It is always an enjoyable experience and we would recommend Jodi to our friends and family every time.

    Jamie

    Would definitely recommend Jodi!
    Such a lovely, friendly and professional person. The photos she takes are utterly beautiful. She even strives to capture the tiniest of details. If you are looking for a newborn, children or family photographer, I wouldn’t hesitate to book in.

    Megan

    I am so thrilled I booked my nephews a photoshoot with Jodi for their first birthday celebrations! Jodi was amazing at making everyone feel relaxed and created an environment where their true characters could shine. She captured beautifully memories that we will cherish forever. Thank you Jodi!

    Shannon

    Wow! Jodi! I would like to say a huge thank you for not only capturing Molly’s moments from her first shoot with you at just ten week old, her 1.5 years, and 3 years! Now our wedding! We could not of wished for anyone better to be with us that day! We are already in love with the previews you have sent, and we cannot wait to see more! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We love you!

    Sinead

    We took our little girl to have a cake smash photoshoot for her first birthday and we were so impressed! The package we chose was fairly priced and we loved that we could have family photos too.
    The studio itself is beautiful and Jodi was brilliant! The photos are absolutely stunning – we are over the moon!

    Paige

    Couldn’t recommend Jodi enough! I have been for 2 maternity shoots now & have a newborn shoot booked in for when my little one arrives. She made me and my partner feel so welcome and comfortable. The studio is unreal, so cosy and just perfect. I absolutely can’t wait to be back & will also be booking in for a christmas session! The photos she takes are perfect, I couldn’t ask for anyone better, they’re so natural and lovely. Thank you!

    Summer

    We couldn’t be happier with how the shoot went, such a lovely experience and Jodie was a saint with our little one

A Little More About Me

It Started with a Chair:

I’m a recovering perfectionist, eternal optimist, hopeless romantic, and firm believer in the magic of everyday. I’m living in Dublin and married to the guy who once stole my office chair (cheeky move, but it paid off). Fast forward, and we now have three beautiful, busy kids and a wonderfully chaotic life together. Family is at the heart of everything I do, and they’re the reason I fell in love with natural, story-driven photography, capturing what matters most.

From Suits to Storytelling:

Photography was always part of my story, even if I did take a ten-year detour through the corporate world. But with motherhood, everything shifted — my priorities, my values, and my perspective. It brought a kind of clarity, and the call back to creativity was impossible to ignore.

Building my business (often in stolen pockets of time during naps and late into the night) has been no small thing – a labour of love that, in many ways, feels like my fourth baby. These days, I can breathe (they’re all in school!) but I’m forever grateful for those early, messy years. They taught me so much about what it takes to juggle life with small kids and big ambitions. And it shapes how I show up to every session: with empathy, calm, and genuine respect for wherever you’re at.

A Dose of Nature with a Splash of Crazy:

My favourite way to recharge is getting out into nature. Give me all the trees, the open skies and a good dose of salty air. As for sea-swimming? That’s my slightly crazy, highly addictive ritual. One Christmas morning dip and I was hooked. It’s cold, wild, and the quickest way to wake up without coffee. Pure therapy for the soul. If you know, you know.

Keeping it Real:

Other things that light me up: live music, deep chats, good craic, close friends (wine always welcome!) and the kind of connection that doesn’t rely on a screen. Call me sentimental, but I’ll always choose the real thing over its digital cousin — handwritten notes, warm hugs, and moments you can hold on to. Therein lies the magic! That’s why I care so much about the experience I offer, taking the time to get to know you, guiding you every step of the way, and creating something you and your people can truly connect with.
