A passion for creativity, authentic engagement and results…
Hi, I’m Niall. I was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, and now live in the Boston area. I’ve always been drawn to storytelling, whether through art, photography, or my work in the software world. Over the years, I’ve learned that connection and presence matter everywhere: in business, in family, and in the moments we choose to hold onto.
I’m naturally curious - about those I photograph and about the craft of photography itself. I’ve sharpened my photography through workshops with world-renowned headshot photographer Peter Hurley and mentorship under a respected Boston-based family photographer. I love to watch others and learn. I also love blending technical precision with a relaxed, playful, and natural style. My sessions combine gentle direction with spontaneity: capturing classic portraits alongside the genuine, in-between moments that truly tell your story. If it takes going off-plan to get the shot, that’s exactly where we’ll go — because this session is all about you.
Whether you’re looking for a standout professional headshot or family photos that feel alive and authentic, my goal is simple: to create images that feel unmistakably like you.

Testimonials for Niall
“As CEO of a fast-growing start-up there are many demands on my time. Niall was able to quickly engage and orient me into the right pose and mindset to capture a fantastic portrait that not only captures the essence of me as CEO but importantly one I’m excited to use. I’ve gotten so much great value from the results. I’d highly recommend Niall when it’s time to update yours.”
—Justin Borgman, CEO, Starburst Data
“It’s pretty incredible that we got multiple great headshots. I really dislike taking pictures of me. I feel awkward and fidgety and, let’s face it, who can really smile genuinely for that long? Niall helped me relax, look like me (but better!) and have fun. You’ve gotta use Niall for your next headshot!”
—Adriana Zeman, VP Customer Success & Support, Paytronix
“After the arrival of our second baby, we contacted Niall to help us capture welcoming her home. Niall’s engaging manner and process, combined with his ability to not only capture the beauty of our wonderful daughter but also to engage our high-energy 2 year old who rarely smiles for the “paparazzi”, helped create a memorable and calm experience, particularly at a time when we were all over tired. He provided clear instruction without making it feel overly posed/choreographed resulting in natural, beautiful photos that we’ll cherish! I especially appreciated the lengths he went to to get my precocious 2 year old to laugh and smile! I can’t stop looking at these gorgeous photos; I love them so much.”
—Christina Maxwell, Milton MA.
““The headshots are beautiful! You really did a great job of capturing me as warm and approachable. I love that you captured what I want to convey about myself. That really translates in the photos. That is the art! “
—Sarah Porell, LICSW
“We had such a wonderful experience with Niall! From start to finish, the session was effortless. He made everyone feel comfortable right away and somehow managed to capture the perfect shots within minutes. It was honestly the easiest and quickest family photo session we’ve ever done! The pictures turned out absolutely beautiful - natural, happy, and full of personality. Best of all, not a single tear or "are we done yet" from any of my three kids. Couldn’t recommend Niall more highly - truly beautiful work!”
—Keri Rist, Milton MA
“Niall has been our go-to family photographer for the past two years, and I can't recommend him enough! He has a wonderful knack for capturing special moments with genuine creativity and care. Every session, Niall brings professionalism and friendliness, instantly putting everyone at ease—even my toddler, who usually avoids the camera. The photos always exceed my expectations: they’re natural, vibrant, and truly full of life. If you’re searching for a talented photographer who makes the experience enjoyable and delivers fantastic results, Niall is absolutely the perfect choice.”
