I'm often asked what my favourite sessions to photograph are. I love all my work but I have to say I love little sitter sessions of babies who have just found their first little bit of independence . They love entertainment, are full of smiles and curiosity and their personality shines at this stage. Its the first big milestone.
To celebrate Maria of Kilkenny ( Oliver's) 60 years in business I am giving 10 families a complimentary studio session ( normal cost €100) and €60 studio credit towards a wall portrait ( total value €160) . This offer is for babies who can sit unaided up to 12 months old between 22nd July 2026 and 29th August 2026, sessions will take place weekday mornings at the studio in High street ( other times subject to availability ).
Please fill in the following information for the opportunity to receive one of Maria of Kilkenny's Little Sitter Portraits offer . The studio has earned a wonderful reputation for Maria's exceptionally beautiful portraiture and this unique prize draw gives you and your family a fantastic chance to own one of these beautiful works of portrait art for yourself.
