Our families change so quickly.

First, they’re small enough to hold in your arms. Then, they’re running around with boundless energy. Before we know it, they’re standing shoulder to shoulder with us, growing into their own unique selves.

Photography can help you to preserve these fleeting years. 

Studio mini-sessions are the perfect way to pause time, even for just a little while, and preserve this chapter of your family’s story.

In the hustle of everyday life, it’s easy to forget to take a moment to celebrate your family as it is right now. These sessions give you the chance to create something truly special—a keepsake you’ll look back on for years to come.

But what if my kids won’t sit still or smile?

That’s okay! I’ve been photographing children for well over twenty years - I've seen it all! (Plus I've three kids of my own who aren't angels!) Whether your kids are full of energy, shy, or somewhere in between, I speak their language—and we’ll capture those lovely, natural moments that reflect who they truly are. I can count on one hand the number of children who I haven't been able to get a nice, natural photograph of. I speak both 'threenager' and grumpy teen fluently!

But I don’t need to be in the photos… do I?

Please, please, please do! These photographs aren’t just for you; they’re for your children too. One day, they’ll treasure these moments—seeing the love, connection, and joy that you shared together.

Rebecca is a very accomplished photographer and we’re extremely pleased with our family photo shoot which was relaxed and informal. We’ve now got some lovely prints of our children and look forward to doing it again in future years as the kids grow. Highly recommended.

This is the second time Rebecca has photographed our little family and the resultant photographs are just wonderful! She has given me stunning, natural images of my daughter, which perfectly capture her character. We can’t wait to return again!
Gail Millar
Rebecca has a passion for this and a connection with people that allow her to capture the very best images. Love the photos she got of my wife and kids: perfect in every way.

    Who am I?

    I'm Rebecca Holmes and I run a thriving family and commercial photography business covering Edinburgh, the Lothians and beyond. I have been photographing children professionally for over two decades.  

    As a Mum of three, I know just how quickly each one passes as my children grow. It feels like yesterday I had my first baby in my arms... Now she's looking at options once she leaves school.

    This is why I'm offering these mini sessions. I want to provide you with natural, relaxed, beautiful memories of your family in my warm and connected style.
