Relaxed, Authentic Family Photographer Dublin
Calm, beautifully crafted portraits for families across Dublin.
Fixed prices from €795, with a framed print included. €200 deposit to book. Based in Dún Laoghaire, photographing families in our calm, light-filled studio.
Studio Experience
Family portraits should feel easy. The studio is a calm, light-filled space where your children can relax and be themselves. Nobody is chasing a schedule or forcing a smile.
I’m not trying to get you to stand in a line and say cheese. I’m looking for the way your youngest leans into you, the joke only your family finds funny and the connection that makes you who you are.
The studio only opens for a few weeks each year. During those weeks it belongs completely to the families who book them.
The Portraits
Expect photographs that feel natural now and timeless in twenty years. Every bundle includes something for your wall, because these pictures deserve to be seen every day, not to sit on a phone.
We understand that every family is different, and we take pride in capturing the authentic connections that make yours special.

Beyond gorgeous photos and the friendliest, most welcoming photographers that were so great with my kids to get the best photos when we went to the studio! We also used Kheffache Studios for our wedding and were so happy with the pictures!

Emma & Tom, Dublin
We weren't sure how the kids would settle, but the studio felt completely unhurried. Kevin gave them space to be themselves and the photographs we ended up with feel like proper portraits, just us at our best."
At Kheffache Studios, we know pets aren’t just companions, they’re part of the family. Our pet portrait sessions capture the quirks, energy, and love that make them so special. Whether playful, shy, or somewhere in between, we keep sessions calm and stress-free.
No pressure to sit perfectly still in fact, it’s those little unpredictable moments that make the most unforgettable photographs.
