Pet photographer in Carlow

Carlow is quiet, green and full of good field edges and river banks — the kind of place where a session feels like a walk that happens to have a camera in it.

One hour on location, €100, with a private gallery of edited images. 50% of every print order goes to Forever Home Sanctuary.

Favourite spots to shoot

  • the Barrow towpath and river banks
  • the foothills of Mount Leinster
  • Altamont Gardens and the surrounding lanes
