It’s great to be able to capture family’s milestones, and capture these important memories for everyone to treasure and reflect upon in years to come. It’s so special seeing a family grow and be there for each other.
Here I got to photograph little Emily. It was not only her christening day, but also her very first birthday! The family went all out by booking the illustrious Hayfield Manor, and I don’t know about you, but the Hayfield Manor always feels so fancy to me, just like the Castlemartyr Resort. They’re always lovely places to visit and great venues for these kind of family occasions!

But before I start talking about this family photo shoot, why don’t we hear what the family themselves had to say?
People leave me lovely reviews after these photo shoots, and this one was another great one to share:
Jannik is an absolutely fantastic photographer, he put us at ease straight away and took really beautiful photos of our daughter’s Christening/1st Birthday celebration. Very good at working with babies and was able to capture both the adorable and hilarious moments during the photo session. Would 100% recommend him and will definitely be booking again for future family events. Thank you so much, we will treasure these photos forever. ~Claire, Gregg & Emily Rose.
Celebrating Emily Rose
Back to the portrait shoot now again.
I decided to take the parents and Emily to the green house first, so we could do a private shoot of just the three of them. I love this green house that the Hayfield Manor has in their front garden. It didn’t just visually come in handy as a shooting location, but also practically, as it was drizzling heavily. One of those beautiful coincidences, where the rain made me shoot in what turned out to be a better spot.
I really love these family portrait photos! It’s always enjoyable to make a location in the middle of the city seem way more exotic than it might appear on paper.
The parents chose Rose to be Emily’s christening name and have a look at the details in the photos. They did a fantastic job with those. Emily wore a rose headband, her white dress had white roses and even the cake had roses on it. I love that attention to detail! And it’s always fun to see parents go full out with a theme.
A first birthday is a big moment, so it’s great to have the family come together for these moments and for me to be able to take these natural and happy family portraits. Emily did so well with all of the attention on this day, as you can tell from the photos, she is such a quiet and thoughtful child. Double the attention with a birthday party and a christening, that’s a lot to take in!
