🦸 For a little while, they really do believe they can fly…

They believe a cape gives them superpowers.
That the good guys always win.
And that, with the right mask and a little imagination, they can save the world. ❤️

The Superhero Sessions are back on Sunday 27th September - a chance for your little heroes to step into their very own adventure and for us to capture this brilliant, imaginative stage while they're still right in the middle of it.

We have just 4 sessions remaining.

⚡ €50 booking fee to secure your session
⚡ Your €50 is deducted from whichever portrait package you choose
⚡ Packages start from €395

Because one day the cape will end up at the bottom of the dressing-up box.

But you'll always remember when they truly believed they could save the world. 🦸❤️

Only 4 places left - Sunday 27th September at our North Co Dublin studio.

⚡ Full information and pricing is available on our website at https://www.designworksphoto.com/the-superhero-sessions/

That's studio life...

Some dogs have absolutely no interest in looking at the camera.

They'd much rather sniff our lights, steal treats and convince us they're the boss.

Honestly...

We wouldn't have it any other way.

The years have a habit of flying by. One minute they're asking to be carried, the next they're borrowing the car keys. The everyday moments that can feel so ordinary today are often the ones we miss the most later on.

That's why we believe photographs deserve more than a folder on your phone.

There's something lovely about seeing your family on the walls of your home. It reminds you what's important. It reminds your children that they're loved, that they belong, and that they're a big part of something special. Those little reminders, seen every day, matter more than we sometimes realise.

They say never to work with children and animals....
Why Not? They're just adorable, especially together!!!

Expectation: Five perfectly posed dogs, all looking at the camera like seasoned models.

Reality: Five excited dogs, countless squeaky toys, treats flying in every direction, handlers making the strangest noises imaginable, and about a hundred outtakes. 😂

If you've ever thought, "My dog would never sit still for a photoshoot," I promise you're not alone. Most dogs don't!

Professional pet portraits aren't about having a perfectly trained dog - they're about patience, creating a relaxed environment, and capturing those split-second moments when everything comes together.

So if your dog is energetic, easily distracted, or simply prefers zoomies to sitting still, don't let that stop you. Some of our favourite portraits have come from the busiest, silliest sessions.

(And yes... these five really were looking at the camera (or more likely the treats) at the same time - for about half a second! 🐾)

We can only take a limited number of newborn sessions each week - we're now booking October dates so if you're expecting a little one in late September or early October, get in touch today to grab one of our remaining slots.

✨ The wait is over... Bookings for The Santa Claus Experience 2026 are now OPEN! 🎅📖✨

It might seem early to be talking about Christmas, but there's a little bit of magic behind the scenes...

Our Santa Experience takes place at the end of October and beginning of November, giving us time to lovingly create your beautiful heirloom storybooks and artwork and have them back in your hands well before Christmas.

This isn't your typical Santa photo session.

Each family enjoys 30 magical minutes with Santa in a relaxed, unhurried experience. They chat, laugh, share stories, and take part in special activities together. Before they know it, the children are completely captivated by Santa - and those genuine moments of wonder are exactly what we quietly capture through our photographs.

The result? Authentic smiles, real belief and memories preserved in artwork or a storybook you'll treasure for years to come. ❤️

These sessions are incredibly special, and because each family has their own dedicated time with Santa, availability is very limited.

🎄 Bookings are now open! If you'd love to make this part of your family's Christmas tradition, we'd recommend securing your session early.

We can't wait to welcome you into the magic. ✨

Info, pricing and booking link at

Experience a magical 30-minute private session with Santa in our studio. Meet the elves, share Christmas wishes, and capture precious memories with professional photos. Based in North County Dublin.

Did you know we finish off all of our Cakesmash sessions with a Splash session? Apart from cleaning them up after all that cake, it's often babies' favourite part of the photoshoot as they get to splash and make a watery mess!!
