Feeling nervous at the thought of being in front of the camera?

I get it, I've been there! But ya know what, when you look back at your family albums in years to come, you'll be glad you took the leap! I promise it's not as scary as it seems. We can go for a wander nearby or stay cosy at home and while we're chatting I'll be snapping away - this makes for relaxed, natural, documentary style images that really capture your personalities. I promise there's no awkwardness, it's my job to put you all at ease.

Maternity + newborn bundle

The human body is an absolute wonder and you are a superhero - let’s document it before the littlest family member arrives. Your maternity session will focus on your bump and connection as a family before it grows.

Then, when baby arrives I’ll come to your home and capture them Earth-side too! Some squishy newborn-ness for the family albums.

newborn FAQS

  • I come to you! We work in your home and it’s super relaxed. I show up and have a wee nosey to see where the best light is. We’ll usually shoot in the living room, your bedroom and maybe even the nursery & garden (if you have one!). Don’t worry about anything beforehand, I can move stuff out the way if needed & I can chuck an unmade bed together in a few minutes - you’ve got a new baby, your job is just to relax and enjoy them.

  • This one is entirely up to you. Some people like to book when they’re still pregnant for a specific day following their due date but we know babies are notoriously unpredictable, so there’s always flexibility and I keep slots free for that eventuality. Others prefer to wait till baby is here safe and sound and that’s a-ok too! Likewise, some people don’t even think about photography till later on, and that’s all good - just drop me a message and I’ll do my best to accommodate you ASAP.

  • Not for me! Some photographers that work from a studio and pose babies in certain positions for props might require this but there’s no need for this in an at home lifestyle session. I’ve photographed babies at 2 weeks, 2 months, 9 months and everything in between. It’s never too late to capture those little details. I don't pose babies any partiular way, instead, I'm there to document you as a family with your new addition.

  • Absolutely! If baby has an older sibling then I’ll usually try to work with them first to try and optimise the time while I having their attention! Some of my absolute favourite newborn sessions have included siblings, it’s such a special new friendship to shoot. Often, young siblings will feel more omfortable in their own surrounding and so it can make the shoot that bit easier. Furry friends are also actively encouraged!

  • I am based in West Lothian and am happy to travel up to an hour - this includes Glasgow, Edinburgh, East Lothian & Fife. I am happy to travel further afield for shoots but they may incur a small travel fee. This is the same for all my sessions.
