I had a lovely shoot on Saturday at The Cardrona Hotel - an 80th and 85th birthday celebration that brought members of one family together from all over the UK. There were lots of smiles and happy faces and it was lovely to be able to capture it all for such a wonderful family. Thank you for asking me along and congratulations once again!

Last Saturday saw Calum and Layla make their promises in front of family and friends in a very romantic Merchant's Hall, Edinburgh. They had a beautiful Humanist ceremony with celebrant Jackie Grant. The setting was absolutely perfect for their big day, with a big domed roof, huge windows and ornate fireplaces - we even managed to make it out between the odd shower for a couple of photos on Rose Street.
Once again, huge congratulations to a lovely couple - and thank you so much for having me along to photograph your special day!
Layla and her bridesmaids had their hair and makeup done by Janice Dawson, JD Bridal Hair. The flowers, a gorgeous pastel bouquet, by Flowers by McDowell's and Layla's stunning dress was from Pretty Woman, Meadowbank.

Last week, I met Bill and Ruth Duff. An absolutely gorgeous couple who were visiting the beautiful Scottish Borders, all the way from California.
They were celebrating their Golden Wedding Anniversary at The Barony Castle, where they stayed fifty years ago, whilst on their honeymoon. It was a real delight to photograph them on their return trip - they were great in front of the camera, with those stolen glances, kisses and cuddles!

A wonderful day was spent photographing The Flying Scotsman yesterday - here are two of my favourites and a few in between! My children waving as it passes south of Stow and over the mighty Forth Rail Bridge. Both shots completely worth the wait, it was magical and I must confess, I shed a tear or two. It was a magnificent sight and I am proud that I have been able to share it with my children!

It was the start of the wedding season for me last week - and what better way to start it than with a surprise wedding!!
May 1st was a special day in so many ways - it was wee Angus' Naming Day! I photographed Angus as a newborn and it was so lovely to see him all grown up with his friends and family around to witness his day. Not only that, but his mum and dad sprang a big surprise on everyone by tying the knot too!! The celebrations were held at Ochiltrees, in the grounds of Abbotsford House, Melrose.
It was a day full of emotion and I am proud to have been a part of it to capture it for the family. The day was truly all about each and every one of them. Perfect attention to details with lego-men button holes, matching shades and fantastic Converse trainers. There was lots of love, laughter and happiness. A perfect day - congratulations once again to everyone and thank you so much for having me along!

I had a wonderful maternity shoot over the weekend! An absolutely gorgeous family, who are expecting their baby girl very soon. Mum-to-be dressed in a show-stopping red maternity gown and we used a really natural setting to make the colours pop! I love the photos and I can't wait for our next shoot when little babba arrives!
Big thanks to the land owner for use of the land.

Young Brodie returned to the studio this weekend and with him he brought his Grandma, Mary! It was a delight to photograph them both together and Mary was such a lovely and interesting lady - I could have chatted to her all day! I love this set of photographs showing the two generations. A simple set of black and white images, such wonderful memories to treasure!

Well, what a week we have had! It's really felt like the start of summer for most of us!
It was a delight to take full advantage and welcome back a lovely family that I photographed just over a year ago, when their little bundle of fun arrived! Now he is tottering around and exploring the great outdoors - making the most of the glorious sunshine on a beautiful spring afternoon!

What a brilliant outdoor shoot I had on Saturday!! Three lovely ladies (a mum and her two daughters) and Calvin - a very cheeky chappy who kept me on my toes throughout the entire shoot! What a little superstar....and oh, soooo cute!!!
I love a good pet portrait!! Especially when that pet is a lovely, well behaved dog such as Rosie! She was perfect and made for a seamless shoot!! She definitely brought the sunshine with her!

Today was my little boy's first birthday!! We didn't do a cake smash - instead I took him out to the woods for a little adventure in the beautiful snowdrops! He was full of soil by the end of the shoot - but that didn't matter, it was all good fun!
There's nothing like a newborn shoot to edit to kick your week off with!! How adorably cute is this little fella! He is the son of a shepherd, so out came all of the Flokati rugs!
