CORK FAMILY AND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

Photographs that feel like real life

Natural, relaxed photography for people who want to remember how it felt.

I photograph people in a way that feels easy and unforced.

No stiff posing, no pressure to perform — just space to be yourselves.

The kind of photos you come back to years later and remember the feeling of the day, not just how it looked.

Hi, I’m Karen.

I’m a family and portrait photographer based in Cork, and I keep things pretty relaxed around here. No stiff posing, no pressure to perform — just gentle guidance and plenty of space for you to be yourself.

If you’re feeling a bit nervous, that’s completely normal. I’ll take care of the rest.

Apart from being a very professional (and accommodating) photographer, Karen is simply incredibly warm and lots of fun to hang out with. She was absolutely the best with our daughter and for weeks afterward, Elli was asking about her new friend and when we could meet again. The sheer joy and happiness in that interaction came through in the photos and we couldn’t be happier.
