I always enjoy photographing a good family get-together! This one was certainly no exception, with lots of laughs and giggles and no shortage of fun photos to take.
Stepping into Spring!
I had a great time with a fantastic family on Saturday - we were so lucky with the weather and it certainly felt like we were finally heading into spring. We used the glorious surroundings of the Cringletie House Hotel, Peebles, which was in full bloom with beautiful Snowdrops.
A Terrific Trio!
I had another wonderful sibling shoot this weekend! Here's one of my favourite images, along with a cheeky close up of the newest member of the family!
Sharing the Love
What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than with a wee sneaky peak from a gorgeous sibling shoot at the weekend! Photographing siblings together - especially in those early moments - is one of my favourite things to do. It reminds me of when my own children were meeting each other for the very first time. The pride that the older sibling feels and the love and bond that grows between them - it is just beautiful.
Cheeky Chappy!
I must say, I get an awful lot of characters through the door of my studio! Each with their own little personalities that I love to capture. This little boy was certainly one them! His smile was just adorable and infectous!
Look Who Came Back!
The last time I saw little Theo he was just a tiny newborn! Here he is at the fun age of eight months! Full of cheeky smiles and laughter! It was so nice to catch up with him again! The next time I see him, he will be approaching his first birthday!

Hanging about on a Sunday afternoon....
Well, I am back to work after the festive period - how long ago does that seem?! I thought a good way to get back into the swing of things would be to photograph one of my favourite hobbies! I LOVE pole dancing - for the last 18 months I have been going to the Watermelon Studio in Edinburgh. I have met some amazing people, made some great friends AND got myself fit and achieved something in the process!
I have wanted to photograph some of our beautiful poses for a while. Perfecting these poses takes strength and commitment. Two of my friends show them off perfectly! So, on Sunday afternoon we got to it. We transformed my tiny bedroom into a makeshift studio. Space was at a premium, so we were a little restricted with lighting and poses. A black background worked perfectly, along with reflectors and flashguns. I think we have pulled of some great shots!
I will certainly photograph more pole again in the near future...I can see an outdoor shoot in the making! But maybe we'll leave that one til spring!!
Massive thanks so my pole pals and to everyone at Watermelon for teaching us such a beautiful sport.
Double Trouble!
This was the funniest photoshoot! It started off all very calm and rapidly decended into cake-smash chaos (of the best kind!). Particularly when big sister came to help polish off the cake.
There wasn't much cake left by the end of the session, but we got some great shots along the way!

New Life...
I love capturing those tender first moments of a brand new life. Newborn cuddles and soft kisses on delicate skin. This shoot had a little bit of everything!

Mini Sessions are Go!
I can't quite believe how quickly this year's sessions have come around! The Mini Sessions are now in their fourth year - and each year they get bigger and more popular! Once again, they were hosted at Rosetta Nursery to raise money for their funds. It was fantastic to see so many clients back year on year - and also to welcome quite a few new faces!! Together we raised £340! A job well done! Thanks to everyone who took part - here are a few of my favourites! x
Worried that you have missed out? Don't be! Why not come along to my Open Studio Day on 3rd December? Just drop me an email for details!
Cosy Toes...
Well, the weather is turning cold...so what better way to spend a weekend than two newborn sessions in a cosy and warm studio!
I was honoured with photographing two baby girls last Saturday - each the same age of five weeks.
Smile and the World Will Smile With You.....
Some shoots just make me smile...not just as I am shooting, but right the way through the edit, too. This was one of those shoots - each picture struck a cord with me not just as a photographer but as a parent also. Two absolutely adorable children, with a great connection between them. Their bond was so plain to see and it was a priviledge for me to capture. I had a brilliant time photographing this adorably funny little brother and his cheeky and attentive big sister - and at such an important time of year too as each sibling was born during the autumn.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat.....
This was a terrific Autumn photoshoot with two lively little boys, who definitely kept me on my toes!! An energetic shoot was finished with a brilliant rendition of Row, Row, Row Your Boat in front a a beautiful sunlit tree in Haylodge Park. What fun!
Autumn Colours!
I love this time of year - great clours, lovely light and this shoot topped it off nicely with the cutest little girl ever!

You, me and a little lady makes three!
I had a great family session at the weekend - I photographed this little girl on her first birthday, so it was lovely to welcome her back. This time with her grandparents who got in on the action too!
Welcome to the World...
I love newborn shoots - especially capturing serene little moments like this between mother and daughter. Bliss...
Rain Dance
I met a very interesting lady on Sunday for a commercial shoot. Not only does Catherine work as an Interfaith Minister, who trained with One Spirit Interfaith Foundation, but she also teaches dance, using the elements as her inspiration. The weather wasn't at it's best for us on Sunday - at least the sun didn't shine and the rain came down. However, it didn't phase Catherine at all and we had a great time bouncing ideas around to get some fun, fresh shots for her new website. Check out more of what Catherine does - and look out for her updated website coming soon! http://catherinewright.co.uk/
Singing in the Rain!
The weather wasn't 100% kind to us at the weekend, but that didn't stop us having a grand old time splashing in the burn before getting some fun family pictures as the weather cleared!! This was a great little shoot - Grace was a photographer's dream - so smiley, happy and up for a giggle!
Seeing Double..
The last time I met these two gorgeous girls, they both fit very snuggly into a wicker basket for their photo-shoot. It was great to catch up with them again for another photo-shoot. Both are blossoming into such great little characters, that certainly kept me on my toes during the shoot!!
Sisterly Love
Sibling photosessions are one of my favourite. There's nothing quite like that bond that forms between them and to watch is grow is something quite special. There was no mistaking the pride that this little girl felt for her little baby sister. It was beautiful - and I am so happy to have captured it for mum and dad.
