Family Photoshoots

with Dublin Family Photographer Aoife O’Connor

Your Family Photographer in Dublin

Family is everything.

Your family is the most precious thing in the world. Take the time to stop, pause and celebrate whatever stage your children are at right now. You don’t need to wait for a special occasion or milestone.

Whether your little ones have just started sitting unaided, are taking those first wobbly steps, have just lost their first tooth or just because they are growing up so fast, record those moments.

How does a family portrait shoot work?

Family photoshoots take place in my lovely studio in Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin. I pour my heart and soul into each and every session to capture the magic of your family.

Family sessions are all about having fun, no stiff or awkward posing! Sometimes kids can be shy at first so there’s plenty of time for everyone to relax, settle in and enjoy their session.

I take lots of different images of your baby or kids on their own and of course you all together. My style is natural and timeless to keep all of the focus on your family.

Hello, I’m Aoife!

Family Photographer Aoife O'Connor in her studio in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin

I am a family photographer known for my timeless, naturally beautiful images of families created in my gorgeous studio in Dun Laoghaire.

I feel incredibly lucky to meet and photograph each family who comes through my door. Each family is unique in their story and I would love to capture your family and your story.

I know from seeing my own two children grow up that family portraits become even more precious as the years go by.

  • Gorgeous 3 sisters for their family photoshoot with Kids photographer in Dun Laoghaire

    We had a wonderful experience taking part in a family photoshoot with Aoife recently. With 3 little girls aged 6 and under, it wasn’t going to be the easiest task getting everyone to look in the right direction etc but Aoife did an amazing job. The girls took to her warmth and humour instantly. On leaving the studio that day, I thought to myself that even if we didn’t manage to capture many good quality images, at least we all had a fun time. However when our gallery came back, we were blown away by the images. Aoife was so pleasant to deal with in the run up to the photoshoot and she’s so organised and efficient. We would highly recommend her services! We are delighted to have these beautiful images of our family and will treasure them! Thank you Aoife!

    Aoife took photographs of myself and my little 1-year-old girl and she was wonderful in every way. Aoife has a wonderful warm personality and put us right at ease and made us feel very comfortable. My little girl wanted to do a lot of walking around and exploring the studio and Aoife just rolled with it and somehow still was able to capture so many beautiful images. It was very hard to pick just a few so we had to get more. I will treasure these images from this time in my little girl’s life and I love that we have some Mammy/daughter photos together. Thank you again, Aoife!

    We were so thrilled with our photos from Aoife! With two boys, age 2 and 10 months, we knew it wasn’t going to be an easy task! Aoife instantly put us at ease and we had such fun at the photoshoot. She captured such beautiful shots. Thank you!
