Annika

Today I did a portrait session with the lovely Annika and her parents. It’s over a year since I last photographed them and it’s lovely to see the little ones growing up into little people with their character coming through. I’d forgotten about the big dog and how friendly he is with little Annika. We [...]

Last Sunday (6th) I went along to photograph the models at a fashion show in aid of the charity ItsGood2Give – a children’s cancer charity. The event took place at George Heriots school and was compered by the tireless Grant Stott. There were some 50 models from young to old, and a huge range of [...]

In March I had the rare opportunity to photograph Mary Kings Close in Edinburgh. If you don’t know it, it’s an Edinburgh Street buried beneath the City Chambers. Now a tourist attraction and popular with all the “ghost hunters” that walk the old town. It’s very atmospheric and quite extraordinary to see such a well [...]

Friday 18th March at Stockbridge Primary School. I did a marathon portrait session for a number of families to raise funds for the playground. The kids were great with only a couple of refusals (probably didn’t like the look of me) and I had a couple of P7 helpers who were super keen assistants (thanks [...]

Anna & Fraser

We headed off to Hopetoun House for Anna and Fraser’s pre-wedding shoot. What an impressive sight to behold! No not Fraser, a stunning, imposing building in a sweeping estate. Courtyards, fountains, staircases, colonnades. Incredible. I wasn’t so sure about the “Tiger Room” and I’m sure you can guess who lives (lived) there. It’ll be a [...]

Rosie’s Party

I’ve been photographing young Rosie since she was a baby and I was invited along to photograph her 4th birthday – a princesses and princes party. However there was just one prince – poor fella – but he seemed to accept it pretty quickly! After doing so many weddings and portraits this year it was [...]

Steph

I had a portfolio shoot with a fabulous model, Steph, today. We’ve been trying to set this up for ages but the weather kept getting in the way. Well we finally made it and – aaargh – torrential rain! Ah well, we soldiered on and made good use of a crypt(!) for shelter and as [...]

Keith Halligan

I had a great shoot today with musician Keith Halligan to produce some images for his forthcoming album. We tried out some locations in Edinburgh that I’ve been wanting to use for ages and then we did some studio shots. We also tried hanging Keith from some structures but that’ll all be explained when the [...]

Baby Rose

Back in 2009 I photographed the wedding of Calum And Sarah at the George Hotel in Edinburgh. Well, I’m pleased to say that I’ve just had a shoot with baby Rose! She was a lovely, contented wee thing with perfect skin and amazingly blue eyes. . The images can be found here and the password [...]
