Enjoys a unique experience in our Photography studio while we Captures breath-taken memories of your Baby.

We take pride in our Photography service. A creative session carried out by a qualified and experienced Midwife who works closely with our Photographers to ensure a safe environment for you and your newborn.

This beautiful session time is also a wonderful opportunity for parents to discuss any concerns they may be experiencing so far and seek professional advice from their Creative Midwife.

The 2hr Session takes place in our photography studio based in Dublin24 (option also available for session to take place in your home).

Our newborn sessions are designed for babies up to 6weeks old, but is best done in the first 2 week as babys tend to be sleepier and retain that fresh curl.
