About Me
My journey into photography began at the age of eight when I received my first manual film camera. It was brand new, with a shiny exterior and far too many buttons for a child to figure out. It even came in a fancy red velvet case with a leather handle. Naturally, I treated it like a prized accessory — less for its photographic potential and more because it was the coolest “handbag” I’d ever seen.
Everything changed when I attended a darkroom workshop and watched in awe as a blank piece of paper slowly transformed into an image. At twenty-two, I began my career as a photojournalist. Over the years, I have refined my skills in both analog darkroom techniques and digital photography, mastering the use of natural light and studio lighting. However, my true passion lies in capturing the essence of people, a craft I have refined through decades of experience.
My Approach
My primary focus is portrait photography, where I bring extensive experience and training across a diverse range of themes, including unique newborn and children’s portraits, formal wedding portraits, and professional headshots.
In my work, I place a strong emphasis on understanding my clients’ vision for their portraits. I believe in a collaborative process, working closely with each client to achieve the best possible results through thoughtful planning and preparation. During our sessions, I often use natural light to create images that are both authentic and timeless.
My clients often appreciate this approach, favouring candid portraits over highly posed images. I find inspiration in the individuality of every person I photograph, from newborns to grandparents, and strive to capture their unique essence.
I understand that not everyone feels naturally confident in front of the camera, so I aim to create a safe space where everyone feels comfortable, and able to express their true selves.
Testimonials
Having Anna for our big day was true blessing!
“Having Anna for our big day was true blessing. She had made us feel very comfortable from the moment we met her. Anna’s unique talent set was invaluable to us. She took the time to understand our needs and what we really wish for. She did so much more for us than was required or expected. She was truly there for the entire time and remained so. We would describe her as highly professional, talented, passionate and discreet. She is also one of the most positive person you can rarely meet which makes working with her true pleasure. She exceeded expectations and delivered an outstanding quality service. We would give Anna our highest recommendations and will definitively use her services again.”

Wonderful job!
“Anna came to photograph my 6 month old twins and did such a wonderful job. She is clearly very much at ease with babies and knows how to get the best out of them. My daughter in particular behaved like a little supermodel for her! What I loved about the final results was that the images weren’t posed, rather they were very natural and captured the twins’ characters exactly. She also took some lovely “mother and infant” shots that show a beautiful intimacy. She is very professional as well as being an extremely nice person and I would highly recommend her.”

How this photo session works?
My photo session fee covers coming to your house to photograph you and your family (on location photo session).
I have learnt over the years that it is most comfortable for both baby and parents to take few first photos portraits in their own environment.
I mainly travel to location. By location I mean the comfort of your family home. I travel across Ireland and Europe for the photographic work I do. Because of years of experience thought me, having a brand newborn or baby or just expecting it during maternity might be quite stressful at times.
Please enjoy my gallery of portraits, especially those with baby, newborn and kids portraits photography, and please note that I am always open for your ideas as well.
