What to Wear for Baby and Child Portraits

What your child wears is a very important step in planning your Portraits . The right choice is timeless and will not date , very important since we are creating a piece of Art to hang on your wall for many years to come . There are lots of beautiful clothes in the shops at the moment perfect for Summer Portrait Sessions .

In Kilkenny Pauls , Du Pareil and Next have a great selection . Also the Summer collections in both Dunnes Stores and Penneys have possibilities .

These are afew pieces from Du Pareil that you may like .

We like to plan your sessions carefully so we will always discuss clothes with you to help you make the right choice . Look out for our Child Portrait Specials in July and August .

I Love Lucy

Introducing the beautiful Lucy 5lbs 8ozs and 3 weeks old . A tiny bundle of perfection and a joy to photograph . Such a tiny , sweet , sleepy baby I was in Love .

Baby Jack Day 8

The lovely Jack from Callan came to the Studio yesterday for his Newborn Portrait . He is 8 Days New .

He is as cute as a button and slept all the way through the session . Jack is also a member of our Babygrow programme so we will get to see him grow in the next twelve months .

Jack is not the only baby in the house though he has a 2 year old big brother called Oscar who just happens to be a Black and Tan Cavalier . I hope to photograph the "Brothers" together when Baby Jack can sit up .
