Pamela Brady

Ireland

I’m Pamela, a documentary family photographer based in Cavan, Ireland, working with families who want honest photographs of real life — not perfect behaviour or forced smiles.

My clients are often parents of busy, noisy, complicated families, sometimes with a child who won’t sit still or fit neatly into expectations. That’s not a problem here — it’s the story.

I photograph families as they are, in their own homes or meaningful places, creating calm, pressure-free sessions where children are free to be themselves. The result is a deeply personal record of connection, emotion, humour, and love — the kind that becomes more valuable with time.

If you’re drawn to non-traditional family photography that honours your real life, I’d love to tell your story.
