Family Photography
Love. Laughter. The little moments that matter most.
Family life is never perfect — and that’s what makes it beautiful.
It’s the laughter, the cuddles, the chaos, and the love that fills your everyday.
My family sessions are about capturing those real moments, not forced smiles or stiff posing.
✨ Because one day, these photos will mean everything.
Whether we’re exploring the countryside, playing in your favourite park, or relaxing in my cosy Melrose studio, I’ll guide you gently and capture your family just as you are — happy, natural, and full of connection.
🌿 The Experience
Family sessions with me are relaxed, joyful, and completely stress-free. You don’t need to worry about your children sitting still or behaving perfectly — honestly, the more natural they are, the better the photos!
💛 Your family, your story, beautifully told.
Before your session, we’ll chat about your family’s personality, your favourite kind of setting, and what moments you want to capture most.
On the day, we’ll laugh, play, and let things unfold naturally. You just enjoy being together — I’ll take care of the rest.
🏡 Studio or Outdoor — Your Choice
You can choose between my light-filled studio in Melrose or one of the stunning outdoor locations across the Scottish Borders — from quiet forests and fields near Galashiels to the riversides of Selkirk or Hawick.
- Studio sessions are ideal for smaller children or winter days — cosy, simple, and timeless.
- Outdoor sessions are perfect for families who love movement, fresh air, and natural light.
Wherever we shoot, the goal is the same: photos that feel warm, authentic, and full of love.
