Portrait of Magdalena Banka, award-winning photographer and owner of M Banka Photography in the Scottish Borders.

You don't need to know how to pose

You don’t need to worry about what to do with your hands, whether your children will behave, or whether your baby will sleep.

That’s my job.

I’ll gently guide you when you need it and step back when you don’t, so you can relax, enjoy the moment and have photographs that feel like you — not stiff or forced.

Hi, I’m Mags. I’ve been photographing families since 2009 and weddings since 2017, so you’ll be in experienced hands from the moment we meet.

Capturing Moments That Last Forever

Weddings

Newborn Photography

Enjoy your wedding day instead of spending it posing for photographs. I’ll capture the emotions, people and little moments you didn’t even realise were happening.

Newborn Photography

They’ll never be this tiny again. Preserve the sleepy cuddles, tiny fingers and those first precious details — with a relaxed session that follows your baby’s pace.

Family Photography

Family Photography

Get out from behind the camera and into the photographs with them. Relax, have fun together and take home memories of your family just as you are.

Worried you're not ''good at photos''?

“We don’t know how to pose.”
You don’t need to. I’ll gently guide you so your photographs feel natural, relaxed and like you.

“What if the kids or baby don’t cooperate?”
That’s completely fine. We’ll work around them — not the other way around. There’s no pressure for perfect behaviour or perfect smiles.

“I never like myself in photographs.”
You’re not alone. I’ll help with flattering light, positioning and gentle direction, so you can stop worrying about the camera and enjoy the moment.
