Modern Communion & Confirmation Portraits

One day they’re starting Junior Infants, and the next, they’re stepping into a brand-new chapter. These milestones feel like they happen in the blink of an eye. In the rush of ceremony times and family lunches, it’s easy to miss the chance to truly see them.


There’s a specific kind of magic in the excitement of a Communion day - the pride in a new suit or the way they can’t stop twirling in their dress. We capture those beautiful formal details you’ve spent months preparing, but then we let them be themselves. We capture the magic, the excitement, and that toothy grin that might not be there in a year’s time. From quiet, sweet smiles to genuine belly laughs, we ensure the final portraits feel exactly like them.


While Communions are full of wonder, Confirmations are that bittersweet bridge into the teenage years. Our sessions for older kids are relaxed and collaborative, leaning into their evolving style and confidence. It’s about celebrating their growing independence while holding onto this final chapter of childhood.


These milestones belong to the whole family. We encourage you to bring the "inner circle" along to share the spotlight:

  • Family: Heartfelt portraits with siblings, grandparents, and godparents.
  • The Dog: We are a 100% pet-friendly studio - your furry best friend is always welcome!


The ceremony will end, the outfits will be tucked away, and the party will fade into a happy memory. But the portraits? Those are the treasures that stay forever. We believe these milestones deserve to be captured with more than just a quick smartphone snap. Located in Donabate, North County Dublin, our studio is just minutes from the M1 and easily accessible from Swords and Dublin City.


"Communion & Confirmation Season" (March to May) is our busiest time of year. To ensure you get a slot that fits your schedule, we recommend booking as soon as you have your date. Some families love the buzz of coming in on the day itself, while others prefer to keep the big day stress-free and come on another date. Send us a quick message at the form below so we can check your date!

I couldn't recommend Designworks photography enough! We went for a family portrait session and we fell in love with all the pictures that were taken. The guys at Designworks are great especially with kids, where I didn't think we'd get a perfect picture, we somehow did! Thanks guys 🫶
