I want you to leave your shoot with a set of images that you will love and to give you an experience you won’t forget. A photo shoot should always be fun, relaxed and enjoyable, no matter if you are a professional or if it is your first time in front of a camera. It is my job to make you feel relaxed and comfortable…. because when you feel good, you will look good.
I cater to most types of portraiture photography, but I specialise in Modelling Portfolios and Actors Headshots You don’t have to be a model to book a photo shoot. Nobody needs a reason or excuse to have some beautiful images of themselves. If you think you will be too nervous to do a shoot, don’t be. You can see how a typical shoot works and you can get some basic photoshoot tips. Here is a short behind the scenes video of my shoot with Miss Ireland 2012 Rebecca Maguire
I now only offer one package that caters to most people’s needs. All packages are for a photo shoot in my Wexford Studio, which is located behind Ballinahoun House B&B. My studio is spacious, relaxed and comfortable. I have the ability to create completely different looks throughout the shoot if required. This means you leave the shoot with a wide range of images that adds variety to your portfolio.

Heavy or smokey eye makeup is not required for headshots as a headshot is about your personality and ability to great a look. A natural look is best for them as that way your headshots reflects how you really look in person. For headshots, you can arrive with the hair and make-up that you are able to do your self. If you were going to a casting, you would do your own hair and makeup anyway, so this way your headshots really reflects on how you look in person.
