Hey, I’m Aisling
Emotive photography, full of colour and life and energy is what I do
I love telling a story through my images and what could be a better storyline than the love and connection in your family.
My husband and I have chosen a natural approach to parenting. The values in our household revolve around connection, respect, love, freedom, and a lot of laughter.
This is also at the core of my photography work. It is what helps me build trust with your little kids in the short time we have together and what leads to those authentic images of joy and laughter.
If you or your family are feeling camera shy, don’t worry, we will have a chat and a laugh. You don’t need to stress about what to do, I’ll give you the gentle direction that’s needed to help those lovely moments of connection happen.
My relaxed and fun approach to your sessions makes sure that everyone feels comfortable enough to have a giggle. We will create an environment that help those real moments of love happen which will give you a tangible way to remember these beautiful times you share with your loved ones.
“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
— Maya Angelou
I know only too well how time slips by in a blur, my own family photos and memories are my most treasured possessions.
I believe every family should have these cherished memories for the rest of their lives and it is my goal to help the families that I look after to create them.
Professional photography is often reserved for big life celebrations, birthdays, graduations, weddings, but what could be more worthy of celebrating than all the beautiful stages we get to experience. Fleeting moments when a family is just being a family and when our kids are just being kids. I want to celebrate the time we spend with the glorious little beings we created and the life we have built around them.
I am so excited to share this passion with you.

Meet the Team!
Aisling is the photographer and showrunner of Aisling O’Brien Photography.
But, there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes.
Let me introduce you to the support crew.
Meet James
Role: Husband and Father
This is the guy who is putting our kids to bed while I am on location for a sunset portrait session.
This is the guy who’s love and support and encouragement led me to follow this dream.
This is the man who cares for our kids while I study in order to make this career path a success.
There are many things that make him amazing, the patience, care and attention he consistently shows our children. The love and generosity he shows to all his friends and family. His drive to be the best person he can be through his own study and his work.
And to top it all off he makes a mean G&T.
Meet Ciara
Role: Daughter and Big Sister
This little girl has been the star of countless personal projects and a large inspiration for the direction my work has taken.
Ciara would spend her life outdoors if she could get away with it, she loves animals, climbing and cartwheeling and has a wonderfully adventurous spirit.
The ultimate photographers daughter she has a love hate relationship with the camera. Mostly the perfect model but is well able to tell her mother when enough is enough!
Meet Ruairi
Role: Son, Little Brother AND Big Brother
Ruairi always took his job as little brother very seriously, now he’s a big brother it’s even more important to him. He spends large parts of his day trying to keep up with his sister and he will go to any lengths to get a laugh from his little sister. He’s an outdoor boy that loves catching bugs, telling stories and anything that involves speed.
He’s not keen on sitting still for photographs so I have lots of practice with quick shutter speeds and fun games in order to get the shot.
Meet Saoirse
Role: The Baby
This little miss has taken our family by storm. Her current favourites are peekaboo, and intense smiling at anyone in a 3 mile radius, she’s a gabbler and an entertainer at her very core.
We have been having very regular photo sessions as her little face just makes my heart melt and time seems to have sped up since she was born. I need to capture every moment possible with this little miss.
