Communion Mini Sessions: Short, Sweet & Stress-Free
Understanding that you want to spend the day celebrating with family, I offer Communion Mini Sessions. These shorter shoots are designed to be relaxed and efficient, ensuring we capture beautiful portraits of your child and family.
Serving South Dublin & The Wider Region
Based in Dublin, I offer specialized coverage in key areas including Dublin 2, 4, 6, 6W, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 24. I also provide coverage across the wider Dublin region and beyond. If your church or venue is outside these zones, I am happy to travel to you (standard travel fees may apply).
Church, Park, or Home: The Choice is Yours
Your communion mini-shoot can be held immediately outside the Church, in a scenic local park, or in the comfort of your own home/garden. The session focuses on the communion child but also includes immediate family, grandparents, and godparents. To ensure a relaxed flow, I recommend a maximum of 6 adults be featured in any single group shot.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Communion Mini Session take?
My mini sessions are designed to be efficient so you can get back to your party! They typically last 30 minutes. This gives us enough time for portraits of the communion child, family photos, and some candid moments, without the kids getting bored or the dress/suit getting messy. See my packages here
Can we get a photo with all the cousins and aunts?
While grandparents and godparents are very welcome, these mini-sessions are best suited for immediate family. For large group shots (like the "whole family" photo), I recommend keeping it to a maximum of 6 adults per frame. This ensures everyone looks their best and the session remains calm and unhurried.
I live in North Dublin / Kildare / Wicklow. Can I still book?
Absolutely! While my core zones are in South Dublin (D2–D24), I frequently travel to North Dublin and surrounding counties like Kildare and Wicklow for communions. A travel fee will apply based on the distance from my base; please get in touch for a quote.
What if it rains on the Communion day?
If we are shooting at your home, we can use a bright room or a sheltered doorway. If we are at the church or a park, having a clear umbrellas can look adorable in photos! We can also find a sheltered spot near the church entrance or at a park to keep everyone dry while we take the family portraits.
