ATHLONE & WESTMEATH & ROSCOMMON 

WEDDING & FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER 

Natural, Unique and Fun


based in Athlone

Hi, I'm Paulina..I'm glad you're here!

I am a Athlone based, wedding and family photographer. I do believe that we are born to be real and not to be perfect and I want my photographs to show real people and real emotions.
Throughout my years of photography I have met a lot of fantastic people and have had the pleasure of capturing some of the most important moments of their lives, I treasure all the interactions, emotions.

About Me

"What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that's gone forever, impossible to reproduce."

- Karl Lagerfeld

FAQ

How do you book?

Sessions are usually booked well in advance but at times I might be able to accommodate last minute bookings. Contact me to discuss further questions, share your vision or book your session!

Can I cancel/reschedule my session?

Booking fees are non refundable, as I am holding the date for you and turning away other clients. If you need to reschedule your session contact me as soon as possible.

Are you insured?

Yes, I have both equipment and public liability insurance. I can provide certificates for both if required.

What should we wear for our Family Photoshoot?

For an outdoor family session, my first suggestion is to coordinate the colours and tones of your clothes rather than matching your outfits. Big Logos on t-shirts or patterns are too busy and not recommended. Plain fabrics and lots of textures are always a better choice.
I would suggest to play with your accessories rather than adding too many colours to your clothes.
When your Family Photography session is confirmed a Welcome Brochure will be sent to you with some useful information about what to wear as well as some inspirational boards which I hope will be useful.

When will we get our photos?

You will receive an online gallery link with all your photos in 2 weeks (Family, Portrait Photoshoots). You can share them, choose your favourites, and also order prints! A sneak peek is also available 2-3 days post shoot.

Testimonials

Just collected my mother in laws 70th birthday prints and they are exactly what we hoped for!

Happy, light and effortless ... a tall task when wrangling 17 bodies

9 of which were children.

The day itself was perfect, the location ideal and Paulina worked her magic, no tears no tantrums just love, fun and plenty of bubbles!

For those of you that are camera shy (myself included) choose Paulina, it is definitely worth it.

Every thing was easy from 1st contact to final collection.

Testimonials

Paulina took photos for us in our home at a family communion party. I had some specific requests and wanted some large group pictures so not the easiest task with people from 4-84(!) years. Paulina made it seem SO easy, got all of the pictures I wanted and some very treasured extra ones 💗 and the final product is so beautiful. I have lots of beautiful pictures from the day. Paulina is an absolute pleasure to work with and no request was too much. Thank you so much.
