Family, Maternity & Newborn Photography in Dublin

I’m Paul, a Dublin photographer offering relaxed, gently guided sessions for families, maternity and newborn photography — in my Lucan studio, at home, or on location.

The aim is to create natural photographs and an easy, enjoyable experience.

Many families also choose framed prints and wall art for their homes.

My work has been recognised with multiple awards in family and portrait photography.

An Experience Designed Around You

Book Your Session

I usually like to arrange a quick discovery call first, so I can understand what you’re looking for, talk through the details, suggest the right options, and plan a session that feels as relaxed and enjoyable as possible.

Your Session Experience

I’ll gently guide you throughout, so you can relax, be yourselves, and enjoy the session.

After Your Session

we’ll sit down together to choose your favourite images, and I’ll help you decide which photographs will work best for the artwork you’d love to have in your home.

As Featured on RTE

A family I photographed through my family photography service was featured on Home Rescue on RTE2, where my wall portraits were used as part of the design for their home, with part of the process filmed in my studio.
