Frequently asked questions

The questions I am asked most often. If yours is not here, just send me a message.

Where is the studio, and do you travel?

Sessions take place in my home studio in Portlaoise, Co. Laois. I work with families across Laois, Kildare and Offaly and the surrounding areas. Lifestyle sessions are photographed in your own home or a location of your choice.

How long does a session take?

Sessions take 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the session. Nothing is rushed, so there is always time for feeding, changing and cuddles.

How do I book?

Review the session details on the website and send me the enquiry form. You then receive the link to pay the €100 booking fee (non-refundable) and complete the booking forms. After confirmation, you receive the prep guide, and we can schedule a short call if you need help with outfits or final details.

What happens after my session?

Two weeks after your session, you return to the studio for your Viewing Appointment. You see your edited gallery and choose the collection and the products that fit your family best.

When do I pay for my collection?

The €100 booking fee is paid when you book and is deducted from the total of your chosen collection. You can complete the payment for your collection on the day of your session.

Can my partner, my other children and our pet be in the photos?

Yes. Parents, siblings and your pet are included in the collections.

Are you trained to photograph newborns safely?

Yes. I am trained in newborn safety and first aid, which gives families extra confidence during sessions. Every session moves entirely at your baby's pace.

What is included in a cake smash session?

The setup is neutral, styled with balloons (half arc and number) and a naked cake topped with fresh fruit, provided the child does not have allergies. You also receive a prep guide for the day. The session includes portraits of your baby in props, family images and the full cake-smash moment.

Do you offer gift vouchers?

Yes. Vouchers start from €50, as a digital e-voucher, a physical voucher or by post. Visit the Gift Vouchers page or call 083 875 9855.

Lead Artist & Photographer

Timeless photography
for your family.

Maternity, newborn, milestone, and family portraits in Portlaoise, Co. Laois. Personalised sessions designed to capture your family's most meaningful moments.

Welcome! My name is Eloisa, and I'm so glad you're here.

I've been a photographer for about twenty years, three of which have been dedicated to families, especially maternity and newborn.

I love creating personal and unique portraits. My love for photography is endless. For me, it's a way of preserving memories, telling stories, and capturing life's meaningful moments.

I have a background in education and applied social studies, and I reinvented my career to follow my passion for photography. I'm also trained in newborn safety and first aid, giving families extra confidence during sessions.

I enjoy slowing down, noticing the little things, and capturing the moments that make each family's story unique.

I want you and your family to feel welcome, relaxed, and comfortable when working with me.

I know being in a studio can feel a bit intimidating at first, but understanding how the session works helps you feel more comfortable.

Before the session, I send you a prep guide and we talk about the best outfit choices. I have a wardrobe for maternity and new mums, carefully selected pieces that create flattering, beautiful looks. I also have options for dads and little ones. And if you prefer to bring your own outfits, I’ll send you a palette with the best tones for everyone.

On the day of the session you don’t need to worry about the camera. I guide you through every moment, so you never have to think about what comes next.

My private studio in Portlaoise offers a space where your family can relax, connect, and simply be yourselves.

That’s when the real moments happen, the ones that become the portraits you’ll keep for a lifetime.

You just need to bring your family. I take care of everything else. That’s my job.
