Tiny toes, snoozy cuddles and tender kisses. What a wonderful newborn session. I can't wait to meet back up with this little man in a year's time!
Family Fun..
This was a gorgeous little shoot with a fantastic family that I have had the pleasure of photographing a few times now. It is lovely to see how the beautiful boys are growing up! There's nothing more precious than capturing those special moments!
Neil and Jackie Tie the Knot!
Congratulations once again to Neil and Jackie who tied the knot at the beautiful Shieldhill Castle near Biggar in the Scottish Borders.
Their day was full of warmth, laughter and happiness. The couple exchanged their vows in front of friends and family who had travelled far and wide to be with them on their special day.
Neil and Jackie, thanks for asking me to photograph your wonderful day - It was such an honour to capture it for you! X
Three's Company!
Three gorgeous siblings, cute as can be! I loved this session, it had a bit of everything! Tender glances from big brother, protective cuddles from big sister...and a beautifully serene moment with mum.

Seeing Double...
It's so nice to welcome back clients for younger sibling sessions! I got to photograph baby Arlo at the weekend, with his very proud big sister. I did her baby session at around the same age. It's amazing how alike they are! Check out Eden's portrait from four years ago!
The Sun is Shining!
What a beautiful day it was on Saturday! Perfect to kick start the summer sessions!! First up were three beautiful sisters, each brimming with character and happiness - absolutely perfect to capture!

At the Start of a Journey...
As a photographer, I feel so privileged when I am chosen to cover a new adventure. Starting with a maternity session, then soon-to-be newborn session and later a one year old birthday shoot! It is lovely to share in those special moments and it is what makes my job so rewarding.
New Life
Welcome to the world little baby Finlay, who came to see me at the studio last week! What a little cutie pie. He's definitely welcome back any time!
Family Bonds
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!
Cute Little Cupcake!
Cake smashes are so much fun!! I loved every minute of photographing this little cutie with her amazing cake from T42 in Galashiels!
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!

Professor Ian Wilmut and Lady Sara Tie the Knot!
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!

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!
