EDINBURGH BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

For babies age 3-12 months

When you’re searching for baby photography Edinburgh, it can feel overwhelming to choose the right photographer. Let me share a little about how I work, so you can decide if we’re the perfect fit.

A baby session from around 3 months onwards is a wonderful way to capture all the changes since birth. At this age, your little one is full of smiles, curiosity, and personality — every expression a tiny story waiting to be treasured.

Older baby photography is the perfect follow-up to a newborn session, or for those who missed those early days, it’s an ideal way to begin documenting your baby’s first year. Together, we’ll create gentle, heartfelt images that capture this fleeting, joyful chapter in your family’s story.

BABY PHOTOGRAPHY EDINBURGH

Your Baby Photography Experience

When your baby is around 3–4 months old, expect plenty of adorable expressions and little moments full of personality! We’ll capture a mix of full-body and close-up portraits, along with some sweet tummy-time shots. Once your little one can sit unaided, there are even more playful and charming possibilities. The studio is stocked with a beautiful selection of props and outfits, and you’re always welcome to bring your favourites from home to make the session feel personal and unique.

We allow a full hour for each session, so there’s never any rush. Usually, around 30 minutes is all we need to capture a gorgeous collection of images, leaving plenty of time for feeds, cuddles, and nappy changes whenever needed. Every session is relaxed, gentle, and guided by your baby’s pace, creating images you’ll treasure forever.

During your session

Baby is Boss in the Beautiful Bairns studio!

Every baby photography session is entirely led by your little one, with plenty of time for feeds, cuddles, and nappy changes.

We’ll start with a relaxed chat over a warm cup of tea, choosing the perfect colours and tones so your images look beautiful wherever you display them at home.

Then, you can simply sit back and enjoy the moment as I gently encourage smiles, giggles, and those fleeting little expressions that make this age so magical.

After your session

About a week after your baby session, we’ll come together for your viewing and ordering appointment — a quiet, joyful moment to relive all those tiny expressions, sweet smiles, and fleeting little gestures captured in your images.

Each photograph will be lovingly and expertly retouched, presented in a gentle slideshow that lets you savour every detail.

Together, we’ll create a collection that feels just right for your home and your heart, whether through digital images ready to treasure immediately, or beautifully printed pieces delivered straight to your door — or to the studio for you to collect at your leisure.

This is the moment where your baby’s story comes alive, a keepsake to cherish for years to come.

What should baby wear

For your baby’s photography session, you’ll want them looking their very best — but there’s no need to rush out and buy a whole new wardrobe!

At the studio, I have a carefully curated selection of beautiful outfits, hats, headbands, and fabrics, all chosen to create timeless, gentle portraits.

You’re welcome to use the studio wardrobe, and of course, you can bring along a few favourite outfits from home to make the session personal and meaningful.

I also recommend a freshly ironed long-sleeve vest for those classic, simple images that will never go out of style — capturing your baby’s sweetness in the purest, most enduring way.

What our customers say

Our photos are amazing! Rachael is so warm, welcoming and the photoshoot was so relaxed. She was very patient with our baby, even when he needed to be fed. We will be back to see Rachael again in the near future!

Lindsay Kinsman

We loved every second of our photo shoot with Rachael. She was very friendly and welcomed us in to her studio making sure we were comfortable throughout the time we were there.

Rachael handled our little boy (10 days old) gently and with a lot of care ensuring he was settled throughout the whole 3 hours we were there, his comfort was her priority and it put us at ease knowing he was in safe hands when being handled.

Thank you so much, we love every one of the photos! Would highly recommend to anyone
