If you’d like to book a family photography session with me, there are a couple of ways we can do it.

If you already know you’d like to go ahead, you can simply book your session online. You’ll be able to choose between a studio session at my lovely, relaxed studio in Linlithgow - an easy trip from Edinburgh - or an on-location session somewhere that feels right for your family.

That could be at home, outdoors somewhere you love, in the city, or somewhere with a bit more space to run around. We can work out what will suit your family best.

If you’re not quite sure what you need yet, or you’d simply rather have a chat before booking, you can schedule a video or phone call with me instead.

It’s very relaxed and completely non-salesy. We’ll talk about your family, what you’d love from your photographs, whether studio or location would suit you best, how everything works and what the investment looks like. You can ask me anything you need to, and then go away and have a think. There’s absolutely no expectation to make a decision on the call.

Once you’ve booked, I’ll send you everything you need to help you feel properly prepared for your session. That includes guidance on what to wear, inspiration if you need it, and a handy checklist so you’re not trying to remember seventeen different things on the morning of your photoshoot (nobody needs that).

And I don’t just send you a pile of information and leave you to it. I’ll be here to help with any questions along the way, and we’ll check in again before your session to make sure everything feels clear and you know exactly what to expect.

Whether we’re photographing your family in the studio or somewhere that feels like home to you, the aim is the same: to make the whole experience feel easy, relaxed and genuinely enjoyable.

My studio in Linlithgow is a calm, private space where we can shut the door on the outside world and just concentrate on you. It’s relaxed and welcoming rather than formal or stuffy, with plenty of room for children to move around and be themselves.

Studio sessions are brilliant if you love a clean, simple look to your photographs, if the Scottish weather isn’t particularly appealing (quite possible), or if you’d simply prefer to know exactly where you’re going and what to expect.

And although the studio is in Linlithgow rather than Edinburgh itself, it’s an easy journey from the city and gives us a lovely dedicated space to create your photographs without having to worry about what the weather has planned for us.

Home can be a particularly lovely choice if you want photographs that capture a little bit of what family life feels like right now.

It’s familiar, comfortable and full of things that belong to you. You can bake cookies, make dens, play dress-up, snuggle on the sofa or simply potter about together while I photograph what unfolds.

And please don’t feel you need to have a perfectly styled, super-tidy house. You really don’t. One good window and a bit of space is usually all I need. (And you should see the state of my house half the time.)

Then, of course, there’s the great outdoors.

Edinburgh gives us so much to play with — beaches, parks, woodland, lochs, beautiful city streets and all those wonderful corners that feel unmistakably Edinburgh.

Outdoor sessions are particularly good for children who like to move. There’s space to explore, run around, play and forget slightly about the fact that there’s a camera nearby. I’ll gently guide things when we need to, but there’s plenty of freedom for your family to just be together.
