MAIRÉAD LUCY

Studio Owner & Artistic Director

Currently on Maternity Leave

My name is Mairéad Lucy Boland. I am a photographer and holistic therapist based in County Wicklow, Ireland.

Motherhood has deeply shaped my work. I am drawn to photography as a way of noticing what matters and preserving moments that pass quietly.

My style is artistic, documentary and minimalist. Sessions are gently guided and unhurried, with clear direction so clients feel comfortable and at ease. I specialise in maternity, newborn, family, couples and personal branding photography, creating pared back, intentional work with an emphasis on light, form and feeling.

Over the past two years, I have poured my heart into bringing my studio to life and learning to work with its many qualities of light. In recent months, I have trained Shelly closely in my approach and aesthetic, sharing everything I have learned within this space.

I am currently on maternity leave. During this time, sessions are photographed by Shelly. I remain closely involved behind the scenes, overseeing communication and gallery delivery, and feel grateful knowing the experience and final imagery will be held with the same care and attention that shape my own work.

My name is Shelly. I’m a photographer and creative based in Co. Offaly, Ireland. When I’m not behind the camera or running my media business, you’ll find me in my vegetable garden, in my camper-van, or exploring Ireland and beyond.

My grá for photography began with my camera and a love of nature. I’d lose myself in a forest or by the sea, finding peace in capturing light, texture and mood. While casually photographing friends and family on those outings, I fell in love with capturing people while in connection with nature and the elements.

I’m so excited to be starting this next chapter in Mairead’s studio. I have been training with Mairéad over the last few months, learning her style so that we can maintain consistency while she is on leave. I’ve been in awe of her work from the beginning of my journey, so I’m very grateful to be working alongside and getting the opportunity to cover for her Maternity leave.
