I’m Gabriela Duffy, the photographer behind Duffymog Studios. I photograph maternity sessions in Dublin outdoors and at home, with gentle direction and time for you, your partner and your older children. You do not need to know how to pose or buy an outfit for the occasion.
The Bump Session is €350: 45 minutes, approximately 40 edited photographs and travel within the Greater Dublin Area. If you would like to document pregnancy and the first weeks with your baby, the Bump to Baby bundle is €650 for both sessions.

At Farmleigh in the Phoenix Park, this couple’s session followed the autumn trees, garden paths and open parkland. Their own clothes, a scan photograph and time walking together gave us a mix of portraits of the mother-to-be and photographs of them as a couple.

Outdoors or at home?
Outdoors suits you if you would enjoy a short walk and some space together. We can discuss a park or beach close to you, the available light and somewhere to pause. Farmleigh and the wider Phoenix Park offer different settings, so we check access and any permissions for the specific location before agreeing a plan.
At home suits you if you would rather stay in familiar surroundings. A comfortable seat, your bedroom or the room you are preparing for your baby can be part of the photographs. We work with window light and the space you have.
Greater Dublin Area travel is included. For a location further afield, tell me where you have in mind and we will agree any travel cost before booking.
Choosing a date and getting ready
We often plan around 28–34 weeks, but the date should suit how you feel. Share your due-date window when you enquire; we can work out the details together. If illness, weather or other circumstances disrupt the plan, we will work around them with you.
Wear something comfortable that you like seeing yourself in. You can bring your partner and older children, and let me know if you would prefer a shorter walk or more time sitting. The maternity session preparation guide covers outfits, choosing between home and outdoors, and what to bring.
Maternity and newborn photographs with the same photographer
The Bump to Baby bundle combines this 45-minute maternity session with a 1–2 hour newborn session in your home. It includes approximately 90 edited images across two private galleries and saves €100 compared with the two individual sessions.
You do not need to know your baby’s arrival date to discuss the bundle. Read about at-home newborn photography in Dublin and tell me your rough due-date window when you enquire.
Your maternity gallery is ready within 3–4 weeks, with full-resolution downloads and full print rights. You can compare every option on the family pricing page.
