Why Shelburne Lodge?
Shelburne Lodge blends historic Irish charm with stunning gardens and elegant interiors. It’s the perfect backdrop for family portraits — rain or shine. And it’s just four minutes from my studio, giving us flexibility no matter what the Irish weather brings!
Perfect for Multi-Generational Gatherings
Many of my clients are families visiting from the United States, gathering several generations under one roof for a special vacation. Shelburne Lodge provides the perfect backdrop for group portraits, smaller family groupings, and relaxed candids.
If your extended family lives scattered across different states, having professional photos taken during your holiday is a unique chance to create images that will last a lifetime — and be cherished across the miles.
You have two ways to book your family session:
OPTION 1 — Portrait Session with Framed Print
€120 (ex VAT) session fee
Includes a complimentary 14×11” finished framed photograph
View the rest of your images in a private online gallery and choose any additional prints or products
Perfect if you’d like to hand-pick favourites for the wall, gift albums, or smaller prints
OPTION 2 — The Digital Collection (Most Popular)
€350 (ex VAT) all-inclusive
Includes the €120 session fee
High-resolution digital files of your full gallery, delivered via download
Ideal for families spread across the US who’d like everyone to have copies of all the images
Bonus for US Clients:
I work with a professional print partner in Connecticut who can ship fine-art prints, frames, and albums directly to your door in the States — saving you hassle and international shipping costs.
