FAQs

What is your shooting style?

I am primarily a family documentary photographer. This means that I don’t do a whole lot of posing. I love to play games with the kids, give a few general prompts and directions to the adults, but mostly I am just there to document you being you, with the genuine smiles, mini meltdowns, chaos and cuddles that is your life as you know it.

I try hard to make a genuine connection with everyone so that it feels like hanging out with a friend… who has a camera. And at the end, you get pictures of life the way it is right now, which will mean more with every passing year.

Do you take posed family pictures?

Yes. If you want them. There is a time and a place for posed pictures and I am happy to take the photos you want most. For example, formal family pictures at a Christening can be taken before or after the ceremony. Let me know which photos are most important to you, and I will make sure we set 15-30 minutes aside for these photos. I will also do my best to take pictures of your whole family just BEING together (and I think you’ll like those better). However, if you are looking for a 100% posed and prompted session, we might not be the best fit.

Do I get digital images?

Yes. Every session comes with digital images for you to download from your personal gallery. The “Slice of Life” session includes 20 images. If you love all your photos, you can upgrade to a full gallery download for 200.00. All the other sessions include the full gallery of images to download as well as printed products.

What if I only want digitals?

Except for my “Slice of Life” session, all my packages include something printed. It’s so so so important to actually have these images in a place where they can be seen and held and shared and enjoyed. I always say, in 20, 60, 80 years time, your children and grandchildren won’t be able to discover a box of family photos in the attic if they’ve never been printed. I have spent a whole lot of time and even more money looking for beautiful, high quality print products that can stand the test of time (and little fingers). Trust me, you’re going to love them. BUT… if you still only want the digitals, choose the “Slice of Life” session, upgrade to the full gallery, and if you want more time, you can add that on as well.

What if we go longer?

I’ll try my best to keep it to the agreed upon time, but sometimes some really great stuff happens after our time is up. If it’s ok by you, I might stay a teensy bit more to get those great pictures at no further cost at all. If you want more time, additional hours can be added to your session for 70/hr.

This sounds great! I want to book a session! What do I do?

Fill out the Contact Form and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I recommend having a general idea of the dates you want, as I tend to book up several weeks in advance.

We’ll chat on the phone or on zoom so I can learn exactly what you are looking for and we can get to know each other a little. Then, I will send you an email with a link to pay your 50.00 booking fee online, this reserves your date and time and is applied to the total cost.

You don’t have to decide which session you want right away. After your date is reserved, you’ll get a link to look at the session options and select the one you want best. After that I will send you my contract and you’ll be ready to go! A few days before your session we will chat over the phone or zoom, get to know each other a bit better and go over any plans or questions.

Do you have gift vouchers?

I do! I will custom design a photo voucher for any length session and any print collection you want, and then I will post it to you or to the lucky receiver.

How does your pricing work again?

You call, we chat, and we choose a date & time. I will send you an invoice for the €50.00 booking fee to secure that date. This will be applied toward the final cost of your session. The rest of the session fee is due by or before the session. In around 4 weeks you will be sent a link to your personal gallery. There you can see all your pictures and choose the ones you want to download. You can also choose any other print products like framed prints, the folio box, album, etc. and order them directly through your gallery

I also offer a free consultation for helping you choose images, products, and I will custom design your album at no further cost.

Where are you located? And do you travel?

I’m based on the border of Limerick and Clare, but love to see all of Ireland. And because I believe that taking photos in a place that is important to you is what makes a photo truly special, I’m more than happy to travel! (All location 25km away from Sixmilebridge requires a 50.00 travel fee). The Slice of Life session is only available in locations within 100km from Sixmilebridge.
