Edinburgh photographer - out and about with the Melvin family

I've known these guys a long time so photographing them was great fun, but it was especially enjoyable because we wandered around the woods behind the place where my husband and I got married!

Edinburgh photographer - warm mini session in the cold Links!

Ooh it was cold, it was. And wet. But we got some super lovely family photos of these guys just being a family. It was quick. And it was easy. Mini sessions are great because I take a lotttt of photos in a short amount of time, so everyone wins. If you want some photos of your family but don’t have a lot of time (or energy!), I’m your photographer!

Embracing autumn with some football and extended-family photos in The Meadows

As a photographer in Edinburgh, I end up spending a lot of time in various parks around town so I often suggest bringing a football or a frisbee with you to your photo session -- when your kids are a little older it give them something to focus on other than be photographed! And it allows your kids to just be kids and play a bit, with each other and with you.

A special family portrait session here in Edinburgh

Lesley is the loveliest person, and one of the strongest people I’ve met as well, in every way possible. Genuinely. We do a bootcamp together, and it was so great to meet her ginormous family and get a few photos of them enjoying the Autumn weather together.

Too many photos of Emily Hogarth and family, part 2 (outside + ice cream)

In addition to the fact that I'm a bit of a fan girl of Emily's work, this was such a great session because these guys just got on with what they'd do on a typical Saturday, and I was there, sometimes in the foreground…

I walked into their home and within seconds, Finn was showing me his toys and Maggie gave me a bit of pancake. I felt like I'd known these guys forever in the best way possible, and it was super lovely…

These guys were simply adorable - all four of them. The cutest children (and how amazing is their son's hair?!), photographed in their new home just before the holidays…

For at least an entire five minutes after I finished this session, I wish we'd had four children instead of two. The Reids were the largest family I've photographed yet…

Before a session, people often ask what they 'should do' when I'm there. Do what you do, I usually say. In this case, that meant whipping out some paper and paint and getting creative among other thigns, which I just loved.

Relaxed family portraits - at home with the Harris Family

This was a typical photo session for me, the kind I like the most. A Saturday in Winter. A family just doing their thing. A bit inside, a bit out. A few posed photos, but mostly me just lurking around in the corners (not in a creepy way!)…
