Maternity & Newborns - A Love Filled Session
Maternity Sessions
For my newborn clients, I offer an exclusive opportunity to capture the beauty and emotion of your pregnancy with a Maternity session. This is an exclusive package costing €650 and includes 10 beautiful fine art prints, along with a €200 discount off your newborn session. Maternity sessions are a heartfelt way to celebrate the anticipation and joy of welcoming your little one, creating timeless memories that you'll cherish forever. Maternity sessions can be held in my studio or outdoors. For outdoor sessions these usually take place at golden hour (One hour before sunset) as this gives the most beautiful light.
I have exclusive use of stunning private grounds in the Mullingar/Castlepollard area so you can feel completely comfortable and at ease during our session. Maternity sessions can be done solo or your partner and other children (if any) are welcome to attend. They are usually best done between 28 - 32 weeks, however everyone in different and your session will be tailored to suit you. I will discuss all of this with you and plan your session to suit your needs and expectations.
Newborns
Welcome to a world where your precious memories are transformed into timeless keepsakes. To showcase your final images I have carefully curated products that are designed to provide you with beautiful, luxurious keepsakes that will be cherished for generations to come. Each item is carefully crafted to reflect the love and joy captured in your sessions, creating stunning visual heirlooms for your family.
Booking Information
Please note, I only book a certain number of sessions per month to ensure that each client receives the best experience possible and to remain flexible with baby arrival dates. This allows me to provide personalised attention and accommodate the unique needs of each family so please do book your session in advance to avoid disapointment.

1.Consultation
Our journey together begins with a brief, friendly phone call or email consultation. This helps me get to know you a little better and ensures your session meets your needs perfectly. During this consultation, we'll discuss availability and confirm your booking. A non-refundable booking fee of €150 is required at the time of booking to secure your date. This will then be taken off your chosen package. You do not need to choose your package until the Gallery Reveal appointment after your session.
2.Session Preparation
Upon booking, you'll receive my detailed session prep guide and information about my carefully created client closet, which is available for mothers to use. This can take the stress out of deciding 'what to wear,' especially for new mothers with lots going on. You wont need to worry about outfits for the baby either as I have everything needed. My styling guide will help you dress the rest of the family, making it an effortless experience for you.
3.The Session
The session typically lasts 2-3 hours, allowing plenty of time for cuddles, feeds, and capturing those special moments. My style of newborn photography is baby-led, focusing on emotion and all the little details. I use minimal to no props so that your baby is always the main focus. This approach allows me to schedule your session based on when you feel well, rather than within a strict timeframe. My work focuses heavily on the love and connection within your family, so parents & siblings are always included.
My petite studio is set up for your comfort, allowing you to relax while I photograph your little one right in front of you. After we finish the parent and family images, you can take a much-needed break and enjoy a coffee while I safely document all the tender moments.
4.After the Session / Gallery Reveal
Around three weeks after your session, you will be invited back to the studio for your beautiful gallery reveal. During this appointment, you will be shown an emotional slideshow of your images and will have the time to select your favourite images and package. It's a lovely experience for parents that often fills them with tears of happiness and love.
Location
Newborn sessions take place in my beautiful petite studio in Castlepollard, just outside Mullingar, Co. Westmeath. You can also request for your newborn session to be done in your own home if you prefer, so please feel free to discuss this with me. A travel fee will apply to on location sessions. I cover Westmeath, Meath, Longford, Cavan, Offaly and Kildare.
Products and Investment
Here you will see the beautiful collections of Albums, Print Keepsake Boxes, Fine Art prints, and Wall Art Frames that I have carefully created to showcase your cherised images for you to enjoy always.
