When you step into my studio it’s all about you, and all about your baby. Your baby is boss and I’m there to make sure everyone feel comfortable, safe and happy. I’m naturally much better at asking about you than talking about myself. But handing your baby to a stranger is a big deal so you probably want to know a bit about the person who will be handling your precious wee bundle. So here is a little bit about me, why i love photography and what you can expect when choosing me as your family photographer.

As a kid I was often found sat on the floor looking through old family photo albums. At my grandparents house I would sit with my Granny and flick through albums while she told me stories. Incredible stories about the war, her childhood, my mum as a child. Stories unlocked through these magical books of photos.

I have 52 framed photos in my house. 47 of these are of my family. My kids love that they can see htemselves as bumps, babies and with extended family. Now we have a dog we really need to book a new family photoshoot to make sure she is included too!

I have given birth at both Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and St John’s in Livingston. My experience was great at both but the birth of our youngest at St John’s was magical and I delivered him myself in the birthing pool. I’m by no means an earth mother but am a massive advocate of hyupnobirthing having used it myself. Honestly its not hippy dippy woo-wa, it’s science!

When not at the studio you’ll often find me out for a walk with my husband Thomas, our sons Lewis and Ollie and our greyhound Willow who we adopted in 2021. I’m never quite sure who needs the walk most, the dog or the 6 year old….

I am nosey. Sorry not sorry! I absolutely LOVE to hear your birth stories, about your jobs (especially if I’ve never heard of it before!) and your children. Having originally trained as a primary teacher before working in nurseries I know a tonne of silly songs, facial epxressions and stories to ensure your little people feel relaxed and have fun.

If you are looking for someone who is warm and friendly but not in your face, you found her. My past experience working within education and social care means I have lots of exerience with children who are shy, boisterous, wild, you name it. If you have a neurodivergent child I will chat to you in advance and follow your lead in terms of how best to approach your child. 

If you love the idea of beautiful, timeless photography with products tailored to your specific styles and decor you will love a session with me.
