About Anna Nowakowska
Award-Winning Newborn & Family Photographer in Dublin
There is a version of every family that only exists for a short while. The way a newborn curls into a parent's chest. The look between two people on the morning of their wedding. A child who still reaches up to be carried. These are the moments Anna returns to, again and again, through her work.
Many families in Ireland have trusted her with those moments. Many come back year after year, not because they need new photographs, but because something has changed and they want to remember this version of their family too.
Credentials and Recognition
Anna is fully accredited by the IPPVA and VAI. Her portrait and art photography earned her an IPPVA Prize, and she is a member and award winner with Fearless Photographers Family.
She holds a Master's Degree in Anthropology and Journalism, and completed formal portraiture training in Rome, Dublin and Warsaw. That academic background in how people live, connect and tell their stories shapes everything about the way she photographs.
Her work has been exhibited in Dublin and Poland, including Mart Gallery in Rathmines, Ranelagh Arts and Dun Laoghaire Rathdown. She was commissioned for a luxury wedding portrait session at Ballyfin House and selected for the EU Protects "Heroes" project.
A Photographer Who Understands
Anna is a mother. That single fact changes the way she works with families more than any qualification ever could. She knows what it feels like to hold a newborn for the first time and wish you could freeze the moment. She knows how fast it passes.
That understanding is why parents feel at ease in her sessions. She is not directing a production. She is simply making sure the things that matter most are preserved, quietly, gently, and with the kind of care that only comes from someone who truly gets it.
What Anna Photographs
Her primary focus is newborn photography. Beyond that, she works with families through every stage: maternity sessions, first birthdays, growing family portraits, and weddings.
Each session is shaped by whoever is in front of her camera. There is no formula. Just attention, patience, and twenty years of knowing when to press the shutter.
