Frequently asked questions

The questions I am asked most often. If yours is not here, just send me a message.

Where is the studio, and do you travel?

Sessions take place in my home studio in Portlaoise, Co. Laois. I work with families across Laois, Kildare and Offaly and the surrounding areas. Lifestyle sessions are photographed in your own home or a location of your choice.

How long does a session take?

Sessions take 60 to 90 minutes, but please plan for at least 2 hours. Nothing is rushed, so there is always time for feeding, changing and cuddles.

You pay the booking fee to secure your session date and time. You then receive your booking confirmation and the preparation guide, so you know exactly what to expect on the day.

What happens after my session?

Two weeks after your session, you return to the studio for your Viewing Appointment. You see your edited gallery and choose the collection and the products that fit your family best.

Can my partner, my other children and our pet be in the photos?

Yes. Parents, siblings and your pet are included in the collections.

Are you trained to photograph newborns safely?

Yes. I am trained in newborn safety and first aid, which gives families extra confidence during sessions. Every session moves entirely at your baby's pace.

What is included in a cake smash session?

The setup is neutral, styled with balloons (half arc and number) and a naked cake topped with fresh fruit, provided the child does not have allergies. You also receive a prep guide for the day. The session includes portraits of your baby in props, family images and the full cake-smash moment.

Eloisa Viana

Lead Artist & Photographer

Timeless photography
for your family.

Maternity, newborn, milestone, and family portraits in Portlaoise, Co. Laois. Personalised sessions designed to capture your family's most meaningful moments.

Welcome! My name is Eloisa, and I'm so glad you're here.

I've been a photographer for about twenty years, three of which have been dedicated to families, especially maternity and newborn.

I love creating personal and unique portraits. My love for photography is endless. For me, it's a way of preserving memories, telling stories, and capturing life's meaningful moments.

I have a background in education and applied social studies, and I reinvented my career to follow my passion for photography. I'm also trained in newborn safety and first aid, giving families extra confidence during sessions.

I enjoy slowing down, noticing the little things, and capturing the moments that make each family's story unique.

I want you and your family to feel welcome, relaxed, and comfortable when working with me.
