Your Milestones, My Expertise

Beautiful images

To Last A
Lifetime

Welcome to Sharon O’Rourke Photography. Through years of experience, I have become a trusted and well-respected photographer in West Cork, specialising in Newborn, Milestone and Family Photography. When clients book a session they can count on a relaxed and enjoyable experience, great customer service, as well as images that will be treasured heirlooms for their family to enjoy. One of the reasons I love what I do, is the connections I make with my clients, from first time parents to growing families that I see year after year. I love being part of your story.

My Working Process

Booking

Looking to book a session? You can fill in the contact form here or email me directly at sharonorourke@live.com. Once I receive your enquiry we will set a date for your session. If it is a newborn session, I will take your due date and we will set a date once baby arrives.

Pre-session

Once your session is booked you will receive a contract via email to sign. You will also receive a link to the pre-session form. Here you can fill-out what types of shots you would like to capture, colour themes etc.

Session day

On the day of your session, I ask that you try to arrive on time, however, I realise that it is not always straight forward leaving the house with a new baby, so please message me if delayed. You will pay your package fee at the end of your session and we will set a date for your viewing appointment.

Session editing

Now that I have captured your shots, it's time for the most time consuming part of the process, the editing. My editing timeline is approximately 3 weeks.

Choose your images

Today you will call to my studio or alternatively, with an additional fee, I will travel to you. This appointment will be pre-arranged on your session day. Here you will view and choose your favourite images. You may add additional prints or order custom framed prints, wood block prints, canvases etc. Additional products must be paid for at this appointment.

Final Product

Once your chosen prints are ready, I will post them out to you or arrange collection. I can deliver them myself, where possible. Prints take on average 3 weeks to process.

Sharon is very professional and patient. I had my daughter pictures done when she was roughly four months old and she wasnt very cooperative, Sharon was excellent with her and I was delighted with the result. I then brought my newborn son at a week old and again she was fantatsic. Her pictures are ones I will cherish forever!

We had our 4th photoshoot with Sharon today. She was so patient with our 4 kids and we even bought the family dog in for some pictures! She is extremely professional and knows how to make a baby feel calm and safe for the perfect pictures. She even has toys to entertain the older kids. Thanks so much again Sharon!

We recently had a newborn photoshoot with Sharon. Her attention to detail is excellent and has an amazing way with babies. So happy we booked with her. The quality of the pictures are excellent. We can't wait for our Christmas photoshoot. Highly recommend.

Frances

Sharon was great I was so impressed by her being able to soothe and photograph a newborn into these amazing shots. Sharon had great patience with our toddler too which is not easy when you want him to sit in photos with his baby sister! Would certainly recommend Sharon for anyone looking to do photos.

Jessica

Thanks to Sharon for the beautiful photos of our daughter. Sharon was very patient with our energetic toddler. She even provided toys for her to play with until she was needed. She treated our newborn with such great care. Sharon is so efficient and takes great pride in her work. I would highly recommend Sharon.
