ORKNEY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
You don't need to worry about the kids 'sitting nicely' with forced smiles - those aren't the moments you'll remember when they're all grown up! Family photographs should capture the laughter between siblings, the loving glances between mum & dad, and the true essence of your family.
My approach is relaxed and thoughtful, gently prompting you to have fun, play a little and connect with one another, while I preserve your memories in art.
photography that reminds you how it felt, not just how it looked.
All sessions will be 60-90 minutes at a location of your choosing, or in the comfort of your own home, to allow you and your family to relax and have fun without the pressure of watching the clock.

your photoshoot
Picture this: parents smiling, kids laughing, just quality family time at your favourite location. Think of me as a fly on the wall, capturing the smiles, giggles and subtle glances you will treasure for years to come. I'll gently guide you whenever you need it, but most of the session is simply about spending time together while I capture the moments naturally.
Your Edits
I will curate and individually edit the photographs from our session to a high standard. I will then run a quality checking process to ensure that you love every single photograph that you receive. This process typically takes 3-4 weeks.
your photos
Your photographs will be uploaded to a private gallery hosted on my website, and you will be provided with a link and password to access the downloadable files. You will be able to order prints and products from the gallery that are delivered straight to your home. For collections with physical products, you will receive instructions on how to order your included goods.
Family photography is about feeling comfortable enough to simply be yourselves. The right clothing helps your photographs feel timeless and cohesive, but the most important thing is choosing outfits that feel like you. Guided by your chosen location in Orkney, these suggestions are here to inspire rather than set strict rules.
