Some family sessions are about more than beautiful photos they’re about stories.
This adventure session in Donegal took us on a journey through places that held so much meaning for this family. We began at a cosy little Airbnb in Portsalon, full of character and charm. There were sheep wandering the yard, a swing overlooking the view, and the kind of quiet magic that makes you want to stay forever.
From there, we explored the stunning Pollet Arch before heading to a place that was especially close to their hearts the home where their great-grandmother grew up before she emigrated to America at just 17 years old. Walking through the old house, seeing traces of paint still clinging to the walls after all these years, felt like stepping back in time. It was an emotional and unforgettable experience to witness a piece of their family history still standing.
As the evening unfolded, we chased light, explored hidden corners of Donegal, and embraced the adventure. The kids through the fields, climbed, explored, laughed, and simply got to be kids. One of my favourite moments was finding a patch of daisies for Daisy some things are just meant to be.
These are the sessions I love most. The ones filled with adventure, connection, family history, and the little moments that tell a much bigger story.
Donegal, you never disappoint.
