FAQ

In an age inundated with technology, families may encounter various images and situations during baby photoshoots. While some photos may appear authentic, they could be AI-generated and give parents not the best ideas.

Rest assured, your baby’s safety is my utmost priority in the studio. As one of the few photographers in Edinburgh fully qualified in baby safety, I’m committed to maintaining the highest standards. I also train fellow photographers in newborn and baby photography safety.

If a pose poses any risk to your baby, it simply won’t be attempted. Additionally, if you’ve seen a pose elsewhere that I deem unsafe, I won’t compromise your baby’s safety for a photo. This principle extends to including pets in baby photoshoots. Your baby’s safety will always be my top concern.

Babies come in all temperaments. While some may adjust quickly, others may need more time to settle in. As a baby photographer Edinburgh with over 14 years of experience, I’ve learned that success isn’t about expecting babies to perform but about gradually introducing them to the environment and play.

Not every baby will flash a smile during a photoshoot; some may have a more serious behaviour. If your baby tends to be on the serious side, our session will reflect their personality authentically. Our goal is to capture your baby as they are, not force them into something they’re not.

There are numerous techniques we can employ to navigate different situations, but the key is to allow your baby the time they need to settle and engage naturally.

Additionally, it’s important to set realistic expectations and avoid pressure from online photo ideas. Simply be present, relax, and embrace documenting your baby’s unique milestones.

Preparing your baby for the photo session is essential to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

Firstly, consider scheduling the session at a time when your baby is typically most alert and content. This may not always align with your convenience, but it ensures better cooperation from your little one.

Bring along your baby’s favourite snacks and toys to keep them comfortable and engaged throughout the session. Familiar objects can help them feel at ease in the new environment.

Think about where you plan to display the portraits in your home and choose clothing accordingly. Opt for plain outfits without logos to avoid distractions in the final images.

If your baby is teething, be prepared with soothing gels or remedies to alleviate any discomfort. It’s important to prioritize your baby’s comfort, so if they’re not feeling their best on the day of the session, don’t hesitate to reschedule for a happier experience.

You can absolutely bring siblings or pets to the photo session! Including siblings and pets can add a personal touch to your baby’s portraits and make the experience even more memorable.

Siblings often know how to bring out the best smiles from their baby brother or sister, so they can play an important role in capturing those precious moments. However, we’ll assess the siblings’ cooperation and willingness to be part of the photos during our discovery phone call.

Pets are also welcome in our studio, but their participation will depend on their personality and behaviour. We’ll discuss your pet’s temperament to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for everyone. In some cases, we may opt for composite portraits to capture your baby and pet together safely.

During the session, our main focus will remain on your baby, but we’ll gladly incorporate siblings and pets to create beautiful and meaningful portraits for your family.

Our pricing for baby photography is transparent and designed to accommodate various budgets. You can find detailed information on our pricing page, including options for shorter sessions with key portraits on our mini sessions page.

The cost of our services depends on your preferences and the significance you place on professionally preserving these precious memories. We offer a wide range of product options, from digital files to stunning wall art portraits that will enhance your home decor.

On average, families invest around £600 in our services, but our packages start from £400 – £1000. Explore our website to see the full range of options available to you.

Hey,

I’m Armands, a proud dad of three. My journey as a baby photographer Edinburgh began in 2010, and it’s incredible to think that many of those babies are now approaching their teenage years. Preserving these precious memories for families is a responsibility I hold with utmost gratitude. Witnessing families grow and return with additional siblings is truly heartwarming.

While I’ve explored various forms of photography, it was capturing my first baby, Eric, that ignited my passion for creating lasting memories for families. The profound impact of this work became even clearer when my own daughter arrived. It dawned on me how swiftly children grow, and amidst the countless photos taken on phones, many remain confined to digital memories, seldom printed or treasured.

As my kids grow, and I gain a wrinkle or two, the importance of holding tangible portraits became evident. It provides a genuine sense of the significance of being present for your children and crafting these portrait memories together. My purpose is to offer you a timeless gift—a treasure that never fades with time. These are gifts that will continue to warm your heart as the years pass by.

Kind words

” Armands definitely goes the extra mile when it comes to his work nothing is out his depth. When we went to see the photos at the studio we fell in love with all of them – be prepared to do the same! Armands helped us plan where our new photos would go in our house and designed the layout. ”
Natasha, Edinburgh
“We wanted some pictures that captured our little boy who is now 9 months old, as he just seems to be growing up so quickly! We wanted natural pictures with him just having fun and showing his personality. Armands was really fantastic with my son! Armands is brilliant with children! Armands just made him giggle the entire time which made for some great pics!”
Joanne, Edinburgh
“From the moment we arrived in his studio I was immediately relaxed thanks to his calming nature. Armand was amazing with our daughter and clearly made her very relaxed too. When we were invited back to view the photos I was so overwhelmed with the result. Very emotional. I absolutely loved the whole experience and will definitely be back if we have another child. I cannot recommend Armands highly enough.”
Melanie, Edinburgh
