Hi, I am Family Photographer Camila Lee

It makes me happy that you are here!

I am a newborn and family photographer in Ireland serving Dublin, Meath, Louth, Kildare and Wicklow.

My photo sessions can be in your home or at any special place you love.

I am originally from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil, I've also lived in São Paulo and moved to Ireland in 2014.

This is little me eating my favourite food, rice, beans and eggs

My story with photography started 12 years ago when I was in Fashion College, in Belas Artes - São Paulo, I fell in love with Fashion Photography and decided to go the start my photography journey.

My first Fashion Photography class, we were playing around with the lights in the studio

My first photography job was as an assistant for the photographer

Vladi Fernandes' Fashion Photography Studio Casa de Moda, back in Brazil.

Then I worked with photographer Rachel Guedes, a family photographer, founder of Projeto Família, and there I started photographing children's birthday parties and christenings and occasions.

Then I went to work as a photographer on cruise ships, my first contract was on the Disney Cruise Line - Disney Magic and I really loved my time there!

We used to sell this photo on the Disney Magic! We would put Tinkerbell on the kids' hands and they loved it!

And Goofy was my friend!

And I made many more friends there

My second contract was onboard the Royal Caribbean - Splendour of the Seas.

Working on cruise ships was an intense but amazing experience, I learnt so much but the best part was definitely getting to travel and see so many stunning places.

And here I'm working in Pompei, Italy.

Then I went back to Brazil to start my own photography business:

Camila Lee is my married name, by the way :)

I photographed lots of portraits, concerts, family events and a little bit of fashion.

This was my first website.

My work has changed so much over the years.

Here is a little bit of my fashion photography work!

Those two big photos there are mine. It was really nice to see my photos printed that big!

I also taught photography at Senac in São Paulo, Brazil.

Finally in Ireland, I have decided to start a new photography business and focusing on Family Photography.

I've also started a photography project Breastfeeding An Act Of Love to help #NormaliseBreastfeeding

My photos are very natural with minimum posing and I love capturing candid moments and interactions of families' everyday moments.

Inspiration Family Awards - Winning photo by Family Photographer Camila Lee

In 2019 my daughter Erin was born.

One week old

Becoming a mum has been a life changing experience!

It has taught me so much about the importance of keeping our little ones memories.

They won't remember anything from their first years of life so it is in our hands to document these memories for them.

Post nap cuteness!

I am sure my baby girl will love to look back at her photos and will be grateful for me to have captured these precious memories for her.

Another one that I love so much!

Are you expecting a baby?

Just had a baby?

Celebrating an important day?

Or would like to create some family memories?

I would love to tell your love story!

I wrote this blog post talking a little bit about how I work:
