Family Photoshoots in Ireland

The best time for a family photoshoot in Ireland depends on light, your families routine and whether you choose and in-home or outdoor lifestyle session. Unlike traditional photography, lifestyle family photography works beautifully all year round not just summer.

In-home family photoshoots in Ireland - all year

In-home family photoshoots are popular throughout the year and are especially well suited to the Irish weather! These sessions rely on soft window light and familiar surrounding which can’t often make children feel more at ease.

Winter and early spring are particularly lovely indoors, with gently light and a slower pace which often suits young families and newborns. One of the biggest advantages of in home lifestyle sessions is that there is no pressure from the weather making it a stress-free option any time of year.

Spring brings longer days and brighter light

Spring is a lovely time for family photography both indoors and outdoors. Summer offers warm light and relaxed feel but late evenings often don’t suit younger children, in those cases an in-home session earlier in the day can work better.

The golden glow of autumn

Autumn is one of the most popular times of year for outdoor photoshoots in Ireland. I love the golden glow of the autumn afternoon light, “the golden hour”. The light is soft and there is a cost timeless feel that works well at home or outside.

The “right” time

Ultimately the best time for a family photoshoot is when and where your family feels most like themselves. Lifestyle photography is more about connection than perfection and every season offers something different.

If you have been waiting for the “right” time, that time is often simply now!
