It's not going to be long until the joys of spring are upon us!  Why not book in for a Springtime Session? Don't forget we are now full time and can offer shoots Monday to Saturday! 

After the Snow comes.....SPRING!

 I saw my first Snowdrops of the year yesterday (and even some fully flowered daffodils!) I love spring so much... the lovely fresh greens, tiny new buds - a perfect backdrop for capturing tiny toddlers or family gatherings. Get in touch to book your spring photo shoot 🌱

IT's All Snow!

❄️ Can you believe how quickly the snow disappeared? I'm so glad we could make the most of it! I loved photographing these two siblings in the snow during one of my Taster Sessions - just time enough so we didn't get too cold!! ❄️Brrrr!!!

New Year, New Life!

And so it is the beginning of another New and exciting Year for Vanilla Moon Photography! 

No more so than welcoming a new family to the studio! I got to meet their gorgeous baby boy, who was just four days old. He was a treasure to photograph alongside his very proud family - including one very adoring boxer, Hugo.

A Fine Day for It

This year's Open Studio Fine Art Sessions were another resounding success! So many great shots I couldn't resist sharing a few of my favourites from the day. Bring on next year :) 

He's My Brother

Such a lovely family shoot at the weekend with these guys. It's always great to catch up with returning clients, especially when their little girl has been twice before - once for her baby shoot and then her first birthday. She is growing up so quickly and now she is a very proud big sister - gorgeous!

Niamh's first visit to the studio in 2015 with her best pal the elephant.

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower

It's safe to say that Winter has recently made a sudden and abrupt appearance. Thankfully not before I managed to capture this lovely families portrait session the other week in the beautiful grounds of Portmore Estate. These guys had bags of energy throughout the session and were great fun to shoot.

Jumping for Joy!

I just couldn't resist sharing this from this weekends Rosetta Mini Portrait Sessions. A huge thanks to everyone who came along - it's always such great fun! Next stop, Eddleston Out of School Club on 11th -12th November. There are limited spaces left - email info@vanillamoonphotography.com to book a slot.

Big Brother is Watching Out for You...

Anyone with an older sibling will know what I mean I say there is no other love like it. There are times when you fall out, fight like cat and dog, blame each other for something that the other did - the list goes on. But there are equal amounts of sticking up for each other, protecting one another and having each others back when it matters the most. I'm almost certain these two little guys will be no different. But it's impossible to hide how proud and protective this big brother was during the shoot and being able to capturing this makes my heart melt. Truly proud of his little brother in every single way, this is one big brother that will be a force to be reckoned with!

Winner, Winner!

I couldn't resist a sneak peak of the recent photo shoot for the recent lucky Facebook competition winner and her lovely family. Despite the terrible weather, the autumn colours managed to stick around long enough to get some great family portraits.

As Snug as a Bug an a Rug

Sometimes, just sometimes, I wish I could be wrapped up as snug as this little guy was during his recent visit to the studio. Who wouldn't?! So comfy and cosy - fast asleep without a care in the world with their best pal by their side. He even had a special little outfit crocheted by his Aunty to top off his cuddly slumber photo shoot. Cuteness personified.

The Hounds of Love are Calling...

What a beautiful wedding - one which I could photograph again and again! 

Neil and Holly had the most romantic and unique wedding day.  Set at The Hermitage in Dunkeld, their beloved four-legged friends, Bomber and Inky, had the honour of fulfilling some very important roles, namely Escort, Ring Bearer and Hound of Honour.  The ceremony was wonderful, full of personal touches, loving glances, giggles and smiles. 

 Neil and Holly chose the perfect outdoor woodland setting for their wedding.  With such stunning backdrops and wonderful people (and doggies) to photograph it was hard not to get some cracking shots of their big day.

Congratulations again Neil and Holly - your special day was amazing!

Daddy's Girl

I love capturing that special bond between a Daddy and his little girl. What made this session even more special was the fact that the little girl has been to the studio before for her own portrait session and is somewhat of a Vanilla Moon Photography celebrity! One of her pictures from her last shoot was awarded a Bronze Award by the Guild of Photographers. A true natural in front of the camera - and so amazing to see how grown up she is becoming!

Love, Laughter and Leaves 🍁

I cannot believe how much fun it was to photograph Duncan and Sarah's wedding at the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh. To say everyone thoroughly enjoyed it would be an understatement - in fact, I don't think there was a picture I took on the day that didn't catch them laughing. Such a lovely couple with so much energy that my own face ached by the end of the day from smiling so much! Coupled with a stunning Autumn back drop from all the exotic plants, it was one of my all time favourite days behind the lens. If laughter is the key to happiness, I'd say Duncan and Sarah will have it in abundance for the rest of their married lives. Congratulations again guys, its been great to have captured so many happy moments in your lives.

Client view coming soon.

You're Hitched! 🚓

Congratulations to Jill and Steven who got married at the Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club in Edinburgh two weeks ago. A great day with some lovely people and even the blustery conditions helped create a few unscripted and brilliant shots. Here is a collage of some of my favourites from the day.
