We're Em and Aj,
a photographer and neonatal nurse duo,
based in Roundwood, Co. Wicklow.
After five years photographing newborns and families across Sydney, we came home to Ireland in 2024. Life brought us back, and with it, a renewed purpose. We're relaunching Swaddled in the place we love most, capturing families across
Co. Wicklow and South Dublin.
AJ spent a decade working as a neonatal nurse before co-founding Swaddled. That experience shapes every session we do, an instinctive understanding of newborns, an ability to read a baby's cues, and the kind of calm that new parents need in the room. Your baby is safe, settled, and at the centre of everything we do.
Em brings the artistic vision, a natural, unposed style that finds the quiet, honest moments in your home, your garden, or the great outdoors.
No studio. No stiff smiles. Just your family,
in the light they're actually in.
