The pandemic might still be preventing you from having the gorgeous professional newborn sessions you had planned, but that doesn’t mean you can’t beautifully document your baby in the early days while you wait. The lovely team at NCT Aberdeen asked me to write my top tips to help you capture your baby in those first few weeks as part of their special baby month and I am delighted to be able to help. These tips are super simple, and all you will need is your phone and a little patience. FIND YOUR LIGHT A photograph can be saved or ruined by the light.

It’s come round super fast, but it’s almost time to grab your slots for the NCT Aberdeen Photo Fundraiser mini sessions. These happen twice a year, in Spring and Autumn, and they prove to be a win win for everyone - raising funds for the NCT Aberdeen branch, while providing a quick, fun and affordable photo opportunity for local families. I thought it might be useful to answer some of the most frequently asked questions in one blog post, so you can know what to expect if you are lucky enough to secure a slot ..read more

With the sun shining, it was the perfect day for a drive up the A96 to visit Rosanagh and Sir P for their first VEP Sponsored Rider session. I am loving getting to know the VEP sponsored rider team - not only are they all juggling super busy home lives, but their equestrian plans for 2020 are pretty inspirational (and brave - these guys are going to be flying over fences that I don’t think I could even look at!) Rosanagh is one half of Mother Trucking Eventers, who blog their often hilarious adventures over on Facebook - if you need a giggle, check them out! Here’s just a few from their sessio ..read more

I’m embarrassed to admit how long it’s taken me to blog this session, so I won’t - let’s just say it was far too long! My gorgeous friend makes incredibly beautiful babies, and I was practically bashing her door down in my excitement to see them all. And it’s pretty easy to see why - those cheeks are to die for and have only become even more nommable since ..read more

Usually I would take the full weeks off over Christmas, but I couldn’t resist going out to the see the gorgeous baby A and his mum in between Christmas and New Year. He had a pretty good dose of FOMO keeping him awake, but my magical combination of very boring chat and a shush/bounce/pat combination that I’ve perfected over the years finally tipped him over in to the land of nod. He was an absolute dream awake and asleep - I mean, just look at this wee squishy face! My sessions are always, always super relaxed - I know how overwhelming the early days can be, so I do everything I can to make ..read more

The Barn at Barra is one of my favourite venues, and it’s always a pleasure to photograph a wedding there! Emma and Will booked over 2 years before their wedding date, but their big day didn’t take long to come around. We weren’t blessed with the best of days - wind, rain and hailstones all making an appearance (in May!) but these guys were troopers and took it all in their stride. Scroll to the bottom for supplier information, but first, enjoy a peek in to the gorgeous wedding of Emma and Will ..read more

I promise in 2020 I’ll be better with blogging, and it won’t take me months, and months (and months!) to blog sessions. I’m kicking off this promise with a look back at this gorgeous equestrian session from the summer. Karen and the gorgeous Molly met me in Kirkhill Forest one very warm evening (remember those, when we weren’t all freezing and cloaked in darkness?!) and this is a just a little snippet of our time together! You can find out more about equestrian sessions here or head over to Facebook for a chance to become one of my 2020 sponsored riders ..read more

Starting to plan your wedding is a very, very exciting time (#understatement). There are a wealth of wedding magazines, blogs, Facebook groups, Instagram hashtags, wedding showcases and Pinterest boards all dedicated to every imaginable aspect of your wedding day.

That said, all of the above can be really useful in helping you figure out how you want your wedding to look + feel, which in turn helps you to choose which professionals you would like to b ..read more
