Family Portrait Photography at the Rock of Dunamase, Laois Near Portlaoise
There are some places in Ireland that never fail to impress, and the Rock of Dunamase is one of them. Just a short drive from Portlaoise, this historic landmark offers one of the most spectacular settings for relaxed, natural family portraits in County Laois.
At Robert Redmond Studios, I specialise in creating family photographs that feel genuine, timeless and full of personality. Rather than stiff poses, my sessions are designed to capture real moments—children exploring, parents laughing together and families simply enjoying time with one another.
The Rock of Dunamase provides the perfect backdrop, with breathtaking views across the Laois countryside, beautiful natural light and a sense of history that makes every portrait unique.
Why Choose the Rock of Dunamase?
Located just outside Portlaoise, the Rock of Dunamase is one of the most iconic locations in County Laois. It offers open landscapes, dramatic stone ruins and stunning views that create beautiful photographs in every season.
Whether you’re local to Portlaoise, Abbeyleix, Stradbally, Mountmellick or anywhere in the Midlands, it’s an easily accessible location for a relaxed outdoor family portrait session.
A Relaxed Family Experience
Family photography shouldn’t feel like a formal photoshoot.
Instead of asking everyone to stand perfectly still, I encourage families to walk together, chat, laugh, explore the surroundings and simply enjoy spending time together. These natural interactions create photographs that you’ll treasure for years to come.
What Should You Wear?
Soft neutral colours such as cream, navy, olive green, beige and light blue work beautifully against the natural stone and countryside surrounding the Rock of Dunamase.
Comfortable footwear is also recommended, as we’ll be walking around the historic site during the session.
Why Invest in Family Portraits?
Children change so quickly, and every year brings new memories.
Professional family portraits preserve those moments in a way that phone photographs simply can’t. Whether you’re celebrating a new baby, marking a special milestone or simply updating the family photographs on your walls, investing in professional portraits creates memories that become more valuable with time.
