The Baby Whisperer

My Newborn Portraits were very well received at the recent Judging of the Irish Professional Photographers Association National Photographic Awards . The 6 portraits Scored Silver and are all of Newborn Babies 10 days old or less . I love working with New babies , they are tiny for such a short time its wonderful to be able to capture a moment in time for their Parents to remember these precious days .

Many of my colleagues are calling me the baby whisperer as my baby portraits are so special .

We are looking for Newborn Models to be part of a project I am working on for details please contact the studio @ 056 7721012
