Real Family photography

Your days are full and time moves fast. But in your heart, you know how precious and fleeting this season of life is. You want to slow it down, even just for a moment, and hold on to how your family feels right now – the connection, love and joy you share. That’s where I come in.

Every session is thoughtfully tailored to your family and I guide you every step of the way. I photograph families with a relaxed, intuitive approach — outdoors, in beautiful natural settings where you can breathe, move, and simply be yourselves. No staged backdrops. No stiff posing. No pretence. Just fresh, fun, and heartfelt photography that reflects your family’s unique personality.

The result? Natural, beautiful images that feel unmistakably yours – the kind you’ll be proud to display. Not just files lost on a hard drive, but timeless artwork, carefully crafted to live in your home and be treasured for generations to come.

Kind Words From My Clients

Testimonials

    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.

    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!

Frequently asked questions

Here are some answers to common questions I'm asked. I hope you find this helpful, but if you still have a question, please do get in touch.

Still got a question? Get in touch

  • When should I book?

    There’s no wrong time to photograph your family, whether it’s a special occasion, or simply updating your family portraits as your children grow and change. From cosy winter vibes, long summer evenings, fresh spring blooms, or vibrant autumn leaves, every season offers its unique charms and I’m here for all of it!

    Because I only take on a limited number of sessions each month, I recommend booking your session at least a few months in advance, especially for peak seasons like spring and autumn. This ensures we have the flexibility to plan your ideal session at the perfect time for your family.

  • Where does the session take place?

    Family sessions typically take place outdoors, where your children have space to move, play, and be themselves. We’ll choose a beautiful natural location together, often close to home, or I’d be happy to recommend one of my many tried and tested locations.

    In-home sessions may also be an option for certain families, particularly with younger children or babies. Wherever we shoot, the goal is always the same: a relaxed experience that allows you to simply enjoy time together as a family.

  • What if the weather is bad?

    Living in Ireland, we know the weather can be a little unpredictable! If it’s just a light drizzle or chilly, we can often work around it – think cosy knits, boots, and a little extra layering. But if the weather is particularly poor (heavy rain, high winds, or very cold), we’ll simply reschedule for a better day. Your comfort and your family’s enjoyment always come first. In some cases, moving the session indoors to your home may also be an option. However, most families come to me because they have their heart set on an outdoor session, so I always build flexibility into my calendar for exactly this reason.

  • What if my children don’t behave?

    Please don’t worry – As a mum of three, there is literally nothing I haven’t seen before! Children are unpredictable, and that’s exactly what makes each family sessions so unique. Plus, I never expect perfectly behaved children anyway. I want them to feel comfortable enough to be themselves – that’s when we capture those truly natural and beautiful expressions and moments – a spontaneous laugh, cuddle, or glance. I take a very relaxed, child-led, and playful approach to create space for those moments to unfold and your family’s personality to shine. And if they’re struggling, I have countless tricks up my sleeve to get them on board! So, all you need to do is get them there and leave the rest to me!

  • How long does the session last?

    Family sessions typically last around 60–90 minutes, depending on your children’s ages, energy, and attention span. I always work at a pace that feels comfortable for everyone, with plenty of breaks and flexibility built in.

    We’ll take however long we need to capture the perfect mix of relaxed family groupings, natural interactions, and individual portraits.

  • What should we wear?

    What you wear plays an important role in creating timeless, cohesive images, that you’ll want to display in your home. After booking, you’ll receive my full style guide with advice on clothing choices, colour palettes, and how to coordinate without feeling too “matchy.”

    In general, I recommend soft, muted tones, a mix of textures, and minimal patterns – clothing that photographs beautifully, without distraction. But most importantly, it should be clothing that feels like you, so be led by your personality. You should feel comfortable, confident, and able to move freely as you move and interact with your children.

    I don’t dress you up in flowing gowns, your kids in trending outfits or your baby in cheesy props. I do give you style advice, which I believe makes all the difference to your final images. But I want you to be real. I want you look and feel like yourself. As these are the photos that will mean the most in years to come.

  • How will we view our photos?

    Once your session is complete, I’ll carefully select and edit the best images with great attention to detail and artistic care.

    Within three weeks, we’ll schedule your viewing and ordering appointment, where you can see your finished images and choose your favourites. I’ll guide you through options for prints, wall art, and other products, carefully curated to display beautifully in your home and designed to last for generations.

Don’t wait for “perfect” – these are the days to remember.

Family photography

We tell ourselves we’ll book the session after we lose some weight, find more time, feel more ready. There’s always a reason to put it off. But the truth is, there’s no better time than right now. These are the days you’ll one day call “the good old days.” Childhood doesn’t wait. And it’s the everyday, beautifully imperfect moments you’ll miss most. You’ll never regret capturing this season. Your future self – and your children – will be so grateful you did.
