Get ready for your session day.
Enjoy, act natural, and let’s take some pictures!
Here everything you need to know to feel relaxed and prepared for your shoot.
This isn’t just a photo session , it’s about your family. Forget stiff poses , think of it like a day at the beach together , full of play, cuddles, and laughter. I’ll gently guide you when needed, but most of the time, the kids will lead the way. My process is calm and easy going, with one simple goal: to capture your family as you truly are, in moments that matter and memories you’ll treasure.
It's going to be a wonderful day full of genuine smiles, cuddles and connection.
*in this picture, it is me and my son, Tomàs.

Meeting up
On the day of your session, I’ll be photographing a few families back-to-back. When you arrive, I may still be finishing up with another family.
Please send me a quick text when you get there and you can wait on the beach near the car park. I’ll come find you as soon as I’m ready for your session.

Picture time
We’ll meet, talk, connect, and get comfortable , then slowly make our way to the grass dunes to begin your session.
Don’t worry if things don’t go exactly in that order , every family is unique, and I’ll follow the kids’ lead to keep things natural and fun.
We’ll usually start in the grass dunes (please keep shoes on here), then move onto the sand (shoes off!) for some relaxed play, and finish with some beautiful moments near the water or in.

Delivering photos
About two weeks after the session, you will receive your edited photos. Depending on your chosen package, this will be either a full gallery to download or a selection gallery where you can choose your favorite images.
If you wish, you can upgrade your package after seeing your photos.
Please note, full gallery downloads will only be available after full payment is completed.
This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
You’re in the right place. These sessions are playful, spontaneous and relaxed . There’s no pressure to pose or perform. It’s all about enjoying quality time with your family by the sea.
I gently guide you through the session while letting your children lead the pace. Whether it’s through play, cuddles, or simply being close. I focus on connection, not perfection.
You don’t need to look at the camera, just look at each other, smile, touch, and be present. Let go of expectations and think of it as a fun, slow afternoon in nature, the magic happens naturally.
What to bring?
Here are a few things that help us all have the best experience:
Sun cream (you never know in Ireland!)
Water and a small snack for the kids
Comfortable shoes for walking through dunes (we’ll go barefoot after)
A small bag for phone, car key, and anything else you'd rather not carry in hand
Extra clothes for kids and a towel for after the session in case they get wet.
What should I wear?
I always recommend light, neutral, or earth tones that flow with the beach and create timeless photographs. Soft fabrics and textures work beautifully, and going barefoot is always encouraged, though comfortable shoes are useful for the first few photos on the grass.
Avoid primary colours, logos or large watches, as they can distract from the natural feel of your images.
Once you book, I will happily guide you with outfits ideas and inspirations.
What to expect?
These sessions are about connection. I want you to play, cuddle, run, laugh and simply enjoy being together. There's no need for big expectations. Children will lead the rhythm and that is where the magic lives.
What if it is raining on the day?
We will check the weather the day before and in case of bad weather we can reschedule your session.
