My photography studio in Melrose, Scottish Borders is a calm, welcoming space designed with families in mind.
It’s a place where you can slow down, take your time and feel at ease — whether you’re visiting with a newborn, young children or your growing family.
The studio is warm, light and thoughtfully set up to feel relaxed rather than clinical.
Soft lighting, neutral tones and a simple, timeless style create an environment where sessions feel calm and unhurried, allowing the focus to stay on connection rather than distraction.
There’s no rush, no pressure and plenty of time to settle in.
Studio sessions work beautifully for:
Sessions in the studio are always unhurried and guided gently.
There’s time for feeds, cuddles, breaks and moments to pause. You don’t need to worry about how things will go — I’ll take care of the flow so you can simply be present.
My studio photography style is natural and understated, using soft light and neutral backdrops to create images that feel timeless.
The focus is always on people and connection, rather than props or trends.
