I had the real pleasure of photographing stunning holiday property Marine Lodge, based in sunny North Berwick, just a stones thrown from the beach. Such a gorgeous place to stay, beautifully refurbished by owners Andrew and Jo, they’ve done such a fabulous job of making the apartment a warm and welcoming place. I had a...

Oh my…..
Gosh, sometimes my job is soooo hard. Try photographing these delicious cakes for example, whilst not accidently drooling on them. I’m not kidding, my mouth was watering for the whole shoot! I was in gorgeous cafe Mimi’s Bakehouse at The Shore in Leith, to photograph their beautiful scrumptious cakes and take some interior shots for...
ETAG conference 2012
I had a lively and slightly surreal start to the day photographing a whole host of colourful characters alongside ETAG chair Robin Worsnop to promote the Edinburgh Tourism Action Group 2012 conference! The event brought together many Edinburgh businesses from different sectors with the aim of working together to improve tourism in Edinburgh. The day...
Storms hit the Botanic Gardens…
Last week saw 102mph winds hit Edinburgh, and The Royal Botanic Gardens was hit hard. I was called in by the Botanics to record the storm damage – they’d suffered their worst damage to the gardens in fifty years. Over forty trees were felled by the winds, some over 150 yrs old, and hundreds of...
Happy Christmas!
It’s Christmas day, and hopefully you’re all having a grand day with your friends and family! Happy Christmas everyone! As there’s no snow this year, I have no pretty snow pictures to share with you on this festive day – so I thought I’d share some pictures from a recent shoot with Father Christmas and...
FreeAgent…
Well, it’s been a good while since I’ve had time to blog so I’m running behind! The run up to Christmas is my busiest time of the year, and I’ve been scooting around like a good elf delivering many frames, albums and prints in time for Christmas. All done now so time to update you...
Tide & Time in Morningside
I had a great time recently photographing Ewan Douglas, one of the owners of the fab Time & Tide Stores, at their new shop in Morningside, for I-on Magazine. The sell such gorgeous things for the home, I’d heartily recommend a visit! FacebookTwitter
Celebrate Life with The Botanics…
I’ve been shooting pictures this summer for The Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh, and this particular commission was to shoot some stock photography to promote the garden’s Celebrate Life programme. People can adopt trees, have a leaf on the Hope Tree engraved in the Gateway building, use the commemorative book, and leave a legacy, amongst other...
Home on the range…
I was at the gorgeous Cameron House Hotel on Loch Lomond to photograph their new ranger exploring the great outdoors with some wee cadets. Great fun, we wandered over beautiful scenery, looked for birds of prey, found some cool creepy crawlies (and they found me, the midges in particular!) and splashed around in big muddy...
Tide & Time…
I’ve been a big fan of Tide & Time for a couple of years, they sell such gorgeous things for the home, so I was delighted to be asked to do some photography for them. They already have two stores in North Berwick and one in Peebles, but are soon launching another shop in Morningside,...
Time to hit the decks…
I was back onboard The Royal Yacht Britannia to photograph the events team, a cracking bunch of people who were a lot of fun to photograph. Britannia is a fantastic venue for events, either corporate or private – grand and impressive, and such a unique place to host a dinner or drinks reception. This was...
The Good Life…
I was recently commissioned to take some photography for a book on allotment gardening by The Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh. Growing your own fruit and veg is a real growing trend at the moment, and this book will be explaining lots of techniques to make the most of your own little patch of heaven, so...
Anchors away!
I’ve been having a lot of fun shooting for a new client, The Royal Yacht Britannia, docked down at Leith. Such lovely people and I’ve really enjoyed working with them. I was called along to cover the unveiling of a beautiful new statue called The Yottie – showing one of the former Royal Yachtsmen (nicknamed...
The Cameron House Hotel…
Last week I was through in the West of Scotland, doing a lifestyle shoot for The Cameron House Hotel on the banks of Loch Lomond. The hotel is a beautiful baronial mansion set in striking scenery and I was there to photograph various subjects for them throughout the day. We started with a shoot on...
Zipping through the trees for a great cause…
I may have made a terrible mistake…. I did a very fun shoot for Marie Curie Cancer Care, to promote a fundraising event at Go Ape, which takes place on May 29th… I climbed a few trees with my cameras, managed a rope swing and ended up having to go down via a small zip...
Celebrating Craigielaw’s Success…
I recently had the great pleasure of photographing the celebrations for the 10th anniversary of Craigielaw Golf Club, in Aberlady, East Lothian. It was a beautiful evening and the course looked amazing, with gorgeous views across the Firth of Forth. Everyone was on great form and I really enjoyed photographing the golfers coming off the...
Changeworks at Craiglockhart…
I had a great day today, photographing the ‘Make Waste History’ summit for Changeworks at the beautiful Craiglockhart campus of Napier University. Such a fun day – children from Edinburgh schools were competing in a Dragon’s Den style competition to win £250 for their school, coming up with fab plans to reduce the amount of...
Sunshine on a rainy day…
Yesterday I drove through horrible gales and torrential rain to Dumbarton, for a shoot for the Woodland Trust – they’ve acquired a beautiful piece of woodland after lots and lots of fund-raising, and we were doing some shots to celebrate. Phil and Tim were there from WTS for the shoot and as I arrived, the...
Moncrieff Hill Wood
When my friends heard that I was working on my birthday, they were full of sympathy for me. But no need! I couldn’t have asked for a better day – beautiful sunshine and a great shoot running around the countryside photographing an event for the Woodland Trust Scotland. It was the launch of new woodland...
Beach Patrol…
It’s been a very hectic couple of weeks, and I have so much to blog! To begin with, here’s a few of my favourite pictures from the other day – I was in North Berwick to photograph the kids at the Wildlife Club, hosted by The Scottish Seabird Centre. The kids were doing all sorts...
