Sunny afternoon….

I had a wonderful afternoon yesterday, photographing six cousins (Jamie, Sam, Abby, Katy, Amy and Charlie) in the gorgeous East Lothian countryside! Beautiful sunshine, a great location and my models were fantastic. Thank you all for such a lovely afternoon and for making me so welcome at your family gathering. I’ll look forward to showing...

A wink and a smile…

What a little cracker! Baby Calum was the smiliest, happiest wee man I’ve had the pleasure of photographing in a long while. So many smiles, I can’t believe how expressive he is for the tender age of just 11 weeks old! Eventually he giggled himself off to sleep, so we got some fab shots of...

Joe & Thea

Today I had a great time down in the Scottish Borders visiting my good friends Esme and Stuart. It was fantastic to catch up and see how their beautiful children Thea and Joe are getting on. It’s tradition that I photograph the kids everytime I visit, it’s been happening ever since they were born, and...

Edward the bear….

Well done Kara and Patrick! I finally met their ‘little bear’, the gorgeous Eddie, and he was just as beautiful as I thought he’d be. Patrick and I have been great friends since schooldays, and I was also lucky enough to shoot their wedding a couple of years ago. It was fantastic to see them...

Two little girls…

I had a great shoot with these two beautiful children – Meet the lovely, and very cheeky Elspeth and Annabel! Elspeth is a real character, playing games, laughing at everything (even me) and pulling fabulous faces! And Annabel is just sweetness and light, very content at 13 months old and full of beans after finding...

Mel, Charlie and Bump…

Today I was lucky enough to photograph the very chilled Mel & Charlie, who are expecting their first child in about five weeks. Mel, you looked beautiful during your maternity shoot, very happy and relaxed (Charlie, you weren’t bad either!) I’ve got lots of cracking pictures to show you both – and I can’t wait...

Portraits at the cottage

Thanks to Jack’s family for a wonderfully warm welcome just after New Year. And for your patience indulging my camera obsession!  I couldn’t resist doing mini photoshoots with all of the kids, the cottage is such a lovely location for pictures… The children were great fun – there was the delightful Harry, very sweet, very...

Let it snow….

What beautiful kids! Thank you Gayle and Neil for such a fun shoot yesterday – Niamh is such a character, at that independent toddler stage and full of energy, and Ellie is such a wee poppet. We jumped on beds (that was mainly me!) and then went out in to the lovely snowy garden for...

Park life….

Thanks to Alicia, Nick and the beautiful Alexander for a great shoot in the park the other day! Yes, it was a chilly day (brrr!) but lovely light and we’ve got some beautiful shots. Alexander was in high spirits and loving spotting dogs all over the park! He’s at that gorgeous stage of just pointing...

Ho-Ho-Ho…

Well it’s that time of year again, time to shoot my annual Christmas card! It’s always great fun and the gorgeous twins Rosie and Alexander were my fantastic elves for the day! They certainly looked the part although I’m not sure how impressed they were with their outfits – there was not too much Ho-Ho-Ho-ing...

Firecracker in the park…

Bonfire night and what a little firecracker I had to photograph! Six month old Caitlin was such a gorgeous character, I could have photographed her all day (and nearly did!) It was seriously hard to put down the camera at the end of the shoot, and I have far too many beautiful pictures of this...

John Collins….

I recently had the pleasure of photographing John Collins, former international footballer and former Hibs manager, shooting pictures for The Players Lounge magazine. Such a lovely guy, really warm and personable, and he gave a fantastic interview. And he didn’t complain once when posing for pictures, despite me dragging him outdoors in the drizzle for...

Beautiful wee boy

Well, a couple of days ago I went round to deliver a frame order to the lovely Gill, who I photographed recently when pregnant – to find that wee Adam had arrived a week or two early! Lovely to meet him, he’s such a gorgeous wee thing. I couldn’t resist getting my camera out for...

Lovely boys…

What lovely boys! – obviously I’m completely biased as I’m their aunty! I had a fab time visiting my three wee nephews, fantastic to see them, we played games, explored the garden, danced, read stories and took a few fun pictures along the way…. FacebookTwitter

Bump at the beach…

The most daunting people to photograph are fellow photographers! I spent a lovely, if slightly nerve-wracking, afternoon photographing the gorgeous Claire and her bump at Gullane beach. Claire and I shared both a flat and a studio when studying photography together at university, and it was great to catch up and to see her so...

Pocket rockets at the beach

There was no stopping these beautiful three kids and their dog once we got started! Such a gorgeous family, a beautiful sunny day and the lovely location of Earlsferry, near Elie in Fife, I couldn’t have asked for anything more. We ran along the clifftops, explored a ruin, played at the beach and also took...

Gorgeous wee man…

The year got off to a fantastic start with the birth of my beautiful brand new nephew! He’s a lovely little thing, and was instantly adored by his two big brothers, and everyone else in his vicinity! I met the new arrival when he was a few weeks old and took some pictures. The newborn...
