Pre-Photoshoot Info
Where is the studio located?
We’re located at 7 Old Dun Leary Road, Dun Laoghiare, Co. Dublin A96HF51. If you put the Eircode into Google Maps, It’ll take you straight to the front door. We’re also a 4 minute walk from Salthill/Monkstown Dart Station.
Where can I park?
Unfortunately, we don’t have any parking spaces but on-street parking is available very close to the studio. We would suggest either parking on Cumberland Street (or Longford Terrace (both free on Sundays).
What should I wear?
Please wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. Don’t feel like you have to dress ‘smart. Relaxed and casual clothing works perfectly well. Unless you wear them regularly, starched shirts or your ‘Sunday best’ will feel too formal and make it harder for you to relax. The most important thing is to be yourself and feel comfortable. I would, however, advise against stripes or strong patterns as they tend to draw the eyes away from faces.
For babies, keep it simple. Simple baby vests, a romper, or even just a nappy will show off their soft skin and gorgeous baby rolls. I usually advise to Avoid brand logos and cartoon characters as they will date the images in years to come. Please avoid shirts with collars as they might cover your baby’s face.
What should I bring?
Feel free to bring snacks for the kids as we can take breaks during the shoot if needed.
If your kids have ‘A special item’ then definitely bring it along. this can be their current favorite small toy etc. For little ones, their favorite teddy or toy/book can really help them feel comfortable in front of the camera. Anything that will help them feel relaxed. for older kids / teens they sometimes brings something special with them that they want to incorporate into the session (musical instrument, sports item etc).
What should I expect during the photoshoot?
We’ll start off with a cup or tea or coffee and a quick chat. Then we’ll move through different parts of the studio floor doing different combinations of photos and set ups. It’ll be a chill vibe, there’s no set amount of photos we need to get and we’re happy to go at your pace.
What Happens then?
After the photoshoot, we’ll with do a viewing (after a quick break) or alternatively, we’ll arrange a time for the adults to come back for a viewing session. During that time, you’ll see your images for the first time and get a chance to order whatever products and wall art that you want. The viewing will take about 30 minutes. You can view some of the options available to you on THIS PAGE
When the viewing session is done, we’ll takE your order, collect payment) & set a date for collection.
