Ooh it was cold, it was. And wet. But we got some super lovely family photos of these guys just being a family. It was quick. And it was easy. Mini sessions are great because I take a lotttt of photos in a short amount of time, so everyone wins. If you want some photos of your family but don’t have a lot of time (or energy!), I’m your photographer!
As a photographer in Edinburgh, I end up spending a lot of time in various parks around town so I often suggest bringing a football or a frisbee with you to your photo session -- when your kids are a little older it give them something to focus on other than be photographed! And it allows your kids to just be kids and play a bit, with each other and with you.
These guys were simply adorable - all four of them. The cutest children (and how amazing is their son's hair?!), photographed in their new home just before the holidays…
I love North Berwick. Like, love love. Enough to move there, but we're pretty happy here in Edinburgh so it's not on the cards. But imagine my delight when I got the opportunity to photograph this cute family…
I was so happy to photography these guys. The cutest, loveliest, sweetest little family, honestly. And so incredibly chilled out -- even with a new baby.
The last time I photographed these guys, they were living across town and had one fewer child. I love being able to photograph a family as they grow, and it especially helps when they're so stinkin' cute.
Before a session, people often ask what they 'should do' when I'm there. Do what you do, I usually say. In this case, that meant whipping out some paper and paint and getting creative among other thigns, which I just loved.
I've known these guys a long time so photographing them was great fun, but it was especially enjoyable because we wandered around the woods behind the place where my husband and I got married!
Emily and I met at the swing park (as you do) and I was delighted to have the opportunity to take photos of her beautiful family in their uber beautiful Edinburgh home before they moved back to the Big Smoke. Have a sneaky peek at some of my photos below!
This was a typical photo session for me, the kind I like the most. A Saturday in Winter. A family just doing their thing. A bit inside, a bit out. A few posed photos, but mostly me just lurking around in the corners (not in a creepy way!)…
I loved this Edinburgh photo session SO MUCH. These guys were moving down to London from Stockbridge and I arrived to a nearly-empty flat. We took a few photos there for posterity's sake, and then headed to their favourite corner store…
