Authentic, outdoor photography for families, newborns & meaningful moments

Capture your story against the wild beauty of the Scottish Highlands. My approach is relaxed, natural and shaped by landscape, light and connection, preserving fleeting moments as they are, so you can hold onto them for years to come.

Photography Inspired by Scottish Nature

I specialise in outdoor, natural light photography, using the ever-changing Scottish Highlands landscape as a backdrop for your moments. From quiet woodland walks to dramatic coastal views, each session is shaped by the environment around us.

Rather than stiff poses, I focus on real connection, movement and emotion, the laughter, the quiet moments, and everything in between.

With the changing seasons bringing new light, colours and atmosphere, no two shoots are ever the same. Many of the families I work with return year after year, capturing new chapters as life evolves and creating a collection of images that grow with them, preserving each stage as it passes.

Relaxed Family Photoshoots in the Highlands

Family sessions are all about connection. No pressure or stress, no awkward posing. Just time spent together in a beautiful place.

Whether you're exploring the hills, walking along the beach, or simply enjoying a slow moment together, I’ll gently guide you while letting things unfold naturally.

My approach is rooted in candid, storytelling photography. Sessions are child-led, with plenty of space to play, explore and just be themselves (making it feel more like an experience than a photoshoot!). We’ll choose a meaningful outdoor location in the Highlands, and your images will be finished with soft, natural editing that reflects real life.

Everyone in the family is welcome, including your four-legged pals. Pet photography is always encouraged, and I love capturing those connections too.

Natural Newborn Photography at Home or Outdoors

Your baby’s first weeks are quiet, emotional and fleeting, and they deserve to be captured gently.

I offer lifestyle newborn photography that focuses on connection rather than props or posed setups. Sessions can take place in your home or outdoors (depending on weather and comfort), always keeping things calm, natural and baby-led.

My approach is relaxed and unhurried, with a focus on bonding, touch and the small in-between moments. Using natural light and soft tones, I create images that feel honest, timeless and true to this stage of life.

Kids, Pets & Real Moments Together

Pets are part of the family, and they’re absolutely always welcome.

Some of the most naturally fun moments happen when children are simply being themselves with their animals. Whether it’s a dog running along the beach, exploring woodland paths together, or a quiet moment in the grass, these connections bring a real sense of life and personality to your images.

My sessions are relaxed and child-led, which makes them perfect for including pets. There’s no pressure for everything to be perfectly still, instead, we make the most of the movement, unpredictability and genuine interaction that comes with it. Embrace the chaos!

The result is a collection of images that feel totally honest, full of character, and completely true to your family.

The Scottish Highlands aren’t just a location, they’re part of your story.

From breathtaking mountains and quiet glens to hidden beaches along the coast, I’ll help you choose a setting that feels meaningful and suits your family. Based in Sutherland, I work across the Highlands and am delighted to help find the right place for your session.

Every shoot is designed to feel like an experience, not just a photoshoot, giving you space to slow down, connect, and create something truly personal.
