Family & Children Photography

Family & Children Photographer in the Scottish Borders – Natural, Joyful & Relaxed

Family photography is about connection, laughter, and the little moments that make your family yours.

At M Banka Photo Studio, I offer relaxed family and children photography in Melrose and across the Scottish Borders. Sessions are natural, unhurried, and designed to feel enjoyable — even if your children are energetic, shy, or somewhere in between.

You may also be interested in my Newborn Photography sessions as your family grows.

Relaxed Family Photography Sessions

Family sessions are calm, playful, and guided gently — never forced.


I create a relaxed environment where families can interact naturally, allowing real smiles and connections to shine through. 


These sessions focus on genuine moments rather than stiff poses.

Children Photography – Capturing Personality

Children grow and change so quickly, and every stage deserves to be remembered.


Children photography sessions are led at your child’s pace, giving them space to feel comfortable and confident. 


Whether your child is quiet or full of energy, sessions are always relaxed and pressure-free.

Cake Smash Photography Sessions

Cake smash sessions are joyful, messy, and full of personality.


They’re a fun way to celebrate your child’s milestone, with plenty of time to explore, play, and enjoy the moment. 


Every session is shaped around your child’s comfort and character.

What to Expect From Your Family or Children Session

From the moment you arrive, everything is designed to help you feel at ease.


You can expect:

  • A friendly, relaxed experience
  • Gentle guidance throughout the session
  • Plenty of time — no rushing
  • A calm approach that works with children, not against them

Natural, Timeless Family Photography

I focus on natural family photography that feels honest and timeless.


Rather than trends, I create images that reflect who you are right now 

— photographs you’ll enjoy looking back on for years to come.

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.
