Family photos shouldn't feel boring, they should feel like you! Let's go outside and celebrate the wonderful and wild journey of raising humans. Out in the fresh air, where you can leave the need to feel perfect behind.
My approach to family photoshoots is to let your children lead the way! My sessions are relaxed and guided gently, so moments feel like you, naturally. We have fun together and the result is imagery that is meaningful, warm and true to this season in your life.
Every session is unique
just like every family

If you like natural documentary style family photos, I'm your girl. You and your family are perfect just as you are. Let me show you.
Each Package Includes:
What if my children don't behave?
I get it. I'm a mother of a very ~feral~ 5 year old boy. I never expect your children to be perfect and I won't be put off by the wildness of childhood. Let you children be their wonderful selves, play, running, tears, joy, whatever comes our way. We'll follow their lead and make it fun. Your session is built around your time together.
How do I book a session?
Send me an enquiry via the contact form. We’ll discuss your ideas, location, and any other ideas or questions you have.
What should we wear?
I recommend earthy tones and textures. Clothing that feels good on, intentional and complements Scotland’s beautiful outdoors. I offer you a styling guidance after booking to help you choose outfits.
What if the weather doesn’t cooperate?
Scotland’s weather is part of its charm, but if conditions aren’t ideal, we’ll reschedule or find a cosy indoor location. Unless there is a weather warning, we'll usually be okay outside! My family photoshoots are designed to feel easy and connected to nature.
I don't see a lot of faces looking at the camera, will I get any like that?
Of course! So, I don't always post the full on child smiling at the camera photos for a bit of privacy & peace of mind for your family! You'll have plenty in your gallery of their beautiful faces. I do try to get a couple standard portraits if you want them, but that is not my main goal in the session, I'm all about connection and closeness between you all, and in-between moments of joy and love
