What To Expect
From the first phone call to delivery of your final products, when you book a portrait session with DOK Photography, my focus is on creating not only beautiful, timeless family portraits, but also a luxury and hassle free experience from start to finish. Every finished portrait is hand-edited to perfection and printed on the highest quality materials available, designed to last a lifetime and beyond.
How it Works
Every session starts with a phone call. Call me on 086 385 3788 or use the contact form to get in touch and I'll call you to talk about your family and your goals for your portrait session.
We'll also talk about session style, timings and options to see which products and services are just right for you.
Next Steps
Your photoshoot can take place outdoors, at your home or in studio, depending on the style of photography you prefer. A few days after the session, I'll visit you in your home, or you may choose to visit the studio. Together we will review your portraits, discuss editing options and decide what you'd like to do with them.
In some cases, we can do this right after the session too!
Portrait Display
When it comes to portrait display, you can choose from matted prints, framed portraits or my signature albums.
​
All products come with a matching digital file so you have the flexibility to add your images to your devices or make additional prints for family and friends.
​
All products are hand delivered and our wall art even comes with complimentary installation when you buy two or more pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
​
​
​
Where does the session take place?
The session can take place outdoors on location, in your home or in our studio in Portmarnock, Dublin.
​
How much are your packages?
Everything that I do is custom designed for you, including my collections, prints and portraits. Products are all sold separately with prices starting at €190. All of my prints are heirloom quality, printed with the finest available papers and inks. This is custom art, designed for your home and is intended to last for generations. Photographs increase in importance and value with time so I only work with the very best quality providers for my prints, frames and collections. See the Investment section for more information and special offers.
Do you sell digital images?
The focus of my work is not just to take soulful portraits of your family, but also to get them printed in an archival format that's designed to last so you can see enjoy them every day. For this reason, I prefer to provide printed products. However, I do include a matching digtial copy with any printed portrait.
​
How many pictures will I get?
As each session is custom designed, the amount of images that you will see at your ordering appointment varies. Some people just want a couple of portraits from their session and some want them all. What you decide to do with your portraits is up to you. I help and guide you through the process to make it hassle free and ensure that you only take home what you truly love.
​
When should I book with you? ​
For newborn session, try to book several weeks before your baby is due. If you baby has been born already, please call us as soon as possible as ideally, we will photograph your baby in their first few weeks of life. For older baby or family sessions, three weeks is enough time in advance to book for midweek sessions or a month for weekend sessions.
​
How long does it take to get my order?
All good things... Most of my suppliers are in Italy and are hand finished, so a lot of time is invested into ensuring that each portrait is absolutely perfect. Depending on what you order, turn around time is between 6 and 8 weeks, however, I can supply your digital copies within two weeks if you would like them in advance of your printed products.
