Family Photographer - Scottish Borders

Family life is full of movement, noise and in-between moments — and that’s exactly what makes it meaningful.

Family photography is about capturing your family as you are right now, not chasing perfection or posed smiles.

Relaxed, natural sessions

Family sessions are calm, relaxed and gently guided.

There’s no pressure for children to sit still or behave in a certain way. 

Sessions are designed to allow space for movement, play and real interaction, so your family can simply be yourselves.


Images that feel like you

My family photography focuses on connection — the way you laugh together, hold hands, or fit together in quiet moments.


Rather than stiff posing, sessions are about capturing genuine expressions and the relationships that make your family unique.


These are the images that often become the most treasured with time.

Where sessions take place

I offer both studio family photography sessions and outdoor family photography sessions, allowing families to choose the setting that best suits them.

Studio Family Photography

Studio sessions take place in my calm, welcoming studio in Melrose. 

These sessions are ideal for families who prefer clean, timeless portraits in a relaxed indoor environment.


Studio family photography is perfect for:

  • Young children
  • Families wanting a simple, classic style
  • Comfortable, weather-independent sessions

Outdoor Family Photography

Outdoor family photography sessions are available seasonally across the Scottish Borders. These sessions offer a relaxed, lifestyle-style experience in natural surroundings, perfect for families who enjoy movement, space, and play.


Outdoor sessions are carefully planned around light, location, and season to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for children.

Family Photography for Every Stage

Family sessions are suitable for all ages and stages — whether your children are tiny, growing fast or somewhere in between.
Sessions work just as well for families with young children, teenagers, or extended family groups, and are always tailored to suit the people in front of the camera.
Whether you’re marking a milestone or simply want to capture everyday connection, family sessions are designed to feel relaxed, natural and true to you.

Family & Children Photography FAQs

That’s completely fine. Sessions are child-led and adapted to your child’s personality.


Neutral, simple clothing works best. I’ll send guidance before your session.


Sessions can take place at my Melrose studio or at a suitable location, depending on the session type.
