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!

Congratulations to a wonderful couple, who shared their special day with me earlier this month. Their wedding was beautiful. Held at Eddleston Church with celebrations continuing at Barony Castle. They looked so happy together as they posed for a few quick photos on the steps of the church - it's easy to see why I was witness to a few happy tears being shed as they exchanged their vows!
Thank you so much for asking me to cover your special day. It was truly an honour and a priviledge!
The Peeblesshire wrote a lovely piece - which you can read here.
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.
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!

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!

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!
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.
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.

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!
I love this time of year - great clours, lovely light and this shoot topped it off nicely with the cutest little girl ever!

What an amazing wedding! Congratulations again to Steven and Danni! Their day was perfect - gorgeous blue skies, glorious sunshine and a relaxed setting on the beautiful island of Malta.
Steven looked very smart in his summery blue suit and Danni was stunning in a show-stopping, elegent dress.
There were smiles all round and I had a wonderful time capturing their special day for them!
Thanks again, Danni and Steven, for asking me along to photograph your day! X
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!
I had a wonderful birthday photoshoot with a lovely lady and her two boys at the weekend. I loved capturing the three of them together, such a perfect bond.
I love newborn shoots - especially capturing serene little moments like this between mother and daughter. Bliss...
Loved, loved, LOVED this shoot!! Such happy little ladies and a wonderful family to photograph - every photographers' dream. Plus, not only did we have perfect weather, but everyone came dressed in sunny, bright colours that made for such a fun shoot!
Congratulations to Dan and Laura - a wonderful couple who tied the knot at the gorgeous Curradine Barns, Shrawley.
Their wedding was truly beautiful, with bright flowers and colourful touches - and not to mention, fast cars! Laura looked absolutely stunning in her Lusan Mandongus dress and Dan certainly made a perfect match, looking very dapper in his smart blue Ted Baker suit.
It was such a happy and chilled out occasion for all parties involved - and the sun even shined as we made our way outside for the photos.
Dan and Laura, I wish you every happiness in marriage! Congratulations, once again and thank you so much for asking me to be your wedding photographer! X
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/
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!
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!!
Well, where can I begin with Joe and Rosie's beautiful wedding? From a love that blossomed over a game of tennis to a wonderful 'at home' wedding, Joe and Rosie really do have that special something. The stolen glances, the tender touches - their love for each other is clear to see and if there was ever any two people made for one another, it's these two.
I loved covering every moment of their wedding. They were so natural in front of the camera and both were up for a giggle, which made for some really unique and quirky photos.
Their wedding was truly unique and personal, with some lovely touches, such as a homemade cake, which has to be one of the most impressive I've seen! Duncan Robertson performed a wonderful Humanist ceremony in front of Rosie and Joe's friends and family, which was followed by a 'selfie' style photo, a confetti tunnel and then a drive around the grounds of their home in a beautiful Bentley.
Rosie wore an amazing Enzoni dress from Border Brides, her hair was by William Pearson (R&R Hair), Beauty Secrets in Hawick did her makeup and her gorgeous bouquet was by Flower Expressions in Selkirk.
Congratulations to you both, once again. You really are a super couple!
