The person behind the lens

Hello, I'm Marta.

I've called Ireland home for over twenty years — I grew up and did all my schooling here. Photography was the quiet thread running through all of it: from a young age I was the one holding the camera, trying to keep hold of the moments everyone else was busy living.

I got my first proper camera at eighteen, and I've been photographing family, friends and the occasions that matter ever since. What began as a hobby slowly, happily, became the whole point — so three years ago I took a photography course to deepen the craft, and in October 2025 I opened my very first studio, here in Clonmel.

Today I photograph newborns, bumps, families, children and all the big little milestones — christenings, communions, first birthdays and everything in between — in the calm of the studio or outdoors in good light. My promise is simple: honest, timeless images your family will treasure for years to come.

Working with children and babies takes patience more than anything, and that's exactly where I'm happiest. I'll never rush a session or force a smile — the moments worth keeping always arrive on their own.

What guides the work

Four things I never compromise on

01

Patience first

With newborns and little ones, calm and time matter more than instructions. I let the session breathe.

02

A timeless edit

Every gallery is finished in a consistent, natural tone so your images never feel tied to a passing trend.

03

People at ease

You should feel comfortable, not on show. Relaxed families make for honest, beautiful photographs.

04

Care throughout

From first message to final gallery, you're looked after — clear, warm, and no guesswork.

Passing it on

As well as photographing families, I love teaching photography. My hands-on training courses help others get off auto mode and start creating images they're proud of — covering settings, lighting, posing and editing, in studio and outdoors.

Whether you're here for a session or to learn the craft, I'd love to hear from you.
