It was down and dirty and quick and crazy and cold, and lots of fun. This session consisted of two sisters, their husbands and all their kids, who clearly get along quite well. Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall, I’m always happy to do a mini mini session if you’re happy to trek to my neighbourhood.
This is the first time I’ve been hired to take photos at a party but what a great idea! This was a super special 80th birthday celebration where a big family who lives all over the country got together to celebrate. Everyone was in the photos, with lots of candid shots and a few more formal portraits, and no one had to fuss with a camera phone and play photographer, because they had one….
The last time I photographed these girls, two sets of sisters who are all cousins, was three years ago. Since then another cousin - yes, another girl! - has joined the fun. We went back to Arthur’s Seat and as before, it didn’t disappoint. And this time we also had moms, dads and grandparents along for the ride, because the more, the merrier.
When I went up to the McAuslans farm at the end of February, Lucie was very pregnant. And one of the girls ended up having what we now call the "welly incident" (it got well stuck in the mud, as did her socked-foot) when we quickly had to retreat indoors for some shoes and haribos to make it all better…
Three hens, three horses, three ponies, one grandmother (with her own dog), two parents, two children and one more on the way. Please can I do all the rest of my photo sessions on a farm? So. Much. Fun.
Well this was fun! It was just after Hogmanay (don't let the jacket-less photos fool you - it was cold!), and how lovely is it to have a family photo session…
My amazing, gorgeous mother-in-law had a very big birthday, and as a surprise we arranged a little photo session with my two boys and their three gorgeous cousins…
These guys used to live in my neighbourhood and we eventually got to chatting on random street corners, at Starbucks, etc. So I was thrilled at the opportunity to photograph them at home…
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.
There was a little miscommunication involved, and this session ended up being minus their doting dad who had to work. But as a mom, how lovely to have photos with just the girls? The weather here in…
Right, those dresses. I mean...wow! We hadn't discussed what to wear at all, and these gorgeous girls (cousins - two sets of sisters) showed up looking like they'd popped straight out of a Boden catalogue, in the best way possible…
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…
