Professional Wedding & Studio Photographer in Melrose, Scottish Borders
Family Photography in Melrose, Scottish Borders
There’s nothing quite like capturing the love and connection within a family. My family photography sessions are all about creating beautiful, natural images that tell your family’s unique story. Based in Melrose, I offer both studio and outdoor family sessions for families across the Scottish Borders, including Galashiels, Kelso, Peebles, and beyond.
Studio & Outdoor Family Sessions
Studio Family Sessions
My cosy Melrose studio is perfect for capturing timeless, relaxed family photos. Studio sessions are great for classic portraits, no matter the weather. I create a comfortable environment where everyone can feel at ease, allowing me to capture real smiles and natural interactions.
​
Outdoor Family Sessions
If you love the idea of natural light and beautiful backdrops, an outdoor session might be perfect for you. The Scottish Borders offers so many stunning locations, from picturesque parks to charming woodland trails. Outdoor sessions are ideal for capturing candid moments and allowing kids to explore and have fun.
What to Expect During Your Family Photo Session
My sessions are relaxed and enjoyable, focusing on capturing genuine connections. I love to keep things light and fun—no stiff poses or forced smiles! Whether we’re in the studio or outdoors, my goal is to create a stress-free experience for the whole family.
During your session, I’ll guide you through a mix of posed portraits and natural shots, capturing everything from big family hugs to playful moments with the kids. Pets are more than welcome to join in, too!
Preparing for Your Family Session
​
• What to Wear:
Soft, neutral tones and coordinating colours work well for family photos. Avoid bold patterns and logos for a timeless look. I’m happy to give you styling tips if you need help choosing outfits.
• Bring What You Love:
If your kids have favourite toys, blankets, or anything that makes them feel comfortable, bring them along!
These items can help them feel at ease and add a personal touch to your photos.
• Relax and Have Fun:
The best photos come when everyone is relaxed and being themselves.
Don’t worry about perfection—just focus on enjoying time together as a family.
