Heyday Studios is a Portlaoise based photography studio specialising in Newborn and Family sessions.
We focus on creating a calm, organised experience so you feel comfortable from the moment you book. Whether it’s your first baby or an updated family session, you’ll be guided through each step so nothing feels unclear or overwhelming.
Newborn sessions are always baby led, with a strong focus on safety, time, and attention to detail. We allow space for feeding, settling, and working at your baby’s pace.

"Ciara is such a lovely and genuine person. She was so easy to deal with, she made the experience of taking all of our photos very enjoyable and made us feel comfortable and at ease. Even our little girl Emily would agree. We are really delighted with our photos they turned out amazing. I would definitely recommend Heyday Studios."
Gemma
Testimonial
" Our experience with our newborn son, Adam, at Heyday Studios surpassed our expectations. Brigid and Lisa were fantastic at our photo shoot, immediately creating a calm and relaxing space for us to enjoy the experience; they were wonderful with our son and made the entire experience so enjoyable. At our ordering appointment with Ciara, we were treated to a beautiful slideshow of the various images which the girls had captured. The images were exceptional and we cannot thank the team enough for creating beautiful memories of us, with our son, which will last forever. We would highly recommend Heyday Studios for the quality of their work and the approach/ quality of the experience. "

Pauline and Bridget are amazing, all so good with newborns and older children.

"We recently had our newborn/family photoshoot done in Heyday studios. The experience from start to finish was so lovely. Ciara made us feel very welcome and relaxed. The images she captured speak for themselves. I’d highly recommend Heyday studios 😊."
Sinead
Testimonial
"We recently brought our 10 month old for a family/sitter shoot and I couldn’t recommend Heyday enough. Bridget was fantastic putting us at ease and was great with the baby during the shoot. We returned a few weeks later to pick our photos with Ciara. This was my favourite part of the process and an excellent part of the service. Ciara gave us expert advice and took the time to go through our choices. The whole service was very professional while also warm and friendly. Thanks again everyone."
