Family Photoshoot experience with A-Fotografy
Relaxed studio and outdoor family photography. Photoshoots around Edinburgh and Lothians.
Edinburgh family photographer with over 15 years of experience photographing families, babies and pets, so you are in safe hands.
Capturing your family in photographs is always on the to-do list, but somehow there’s never enough time, is there? Life gets busy, and before you know it, the kids are growing up and getting ready to leave the nest.
WHAT KIND OF FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE WOULD BE THE BEST FOR YOU?
Meet Your Family photographer
I’m a family photographer based in Edinburgh and a dad of three. Let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I’ve definitely lost (and am still losing) hair and gaining a few more wrinkles along the way. But I wouldn’t change a thing. I love every moment I get to play with my kids, rolling around on the floor and diving into endless rounds of “monster” games.
It’s scary how fast they grow. That’s why I’m here — to help you capture your family as they are right now, with all the love, laughter, chaos, and connection. These are the moments you and your children will want to look back on.
You’re not looking for stiff, posed photos. You’re looking for something real, something that reflects your relationship with your kids. Since 2010, I’ve photographed families all across Edinburgh. I’ve seen it all: tantrums, shy smiles, wild energy. I welcome every bit of it. Bring your full selves and let’s have some fun together.
Outdoors Family Photography around Edinburgh
I offer two types of outdoors/location family photography experiences. ‘Slice in Life’ and my typical outdoor or home photo sessions.
‘Slice in Life’ family portrait photography photo sessions.
‘Slice of Life’ sessions are candid, natural family portrait experiences. I’ll spend around four hours with your family, capturing honest, beautiful moments as they unfold. If the idea of a studio session makes you feel a bit uneasy, these relaxed, in-the-moment shoots might be just right for you.
I focus on the little things — the everyday moments parents live through daily. The real-life stuff. We carry these memories in our minds, but they rarely make it into photographs. Personally, I love documenting my own kids this way, and I’m sure you’ll love having these memories captured too.
Typical outdoor/home family photo sessions.
Most of my outdoor family photography takes place in and around Edinburgh, but I also offer sessions in nearby areas. Some of the most popular locations include Gullane Beach in East Lothian, as well as parks and open spaces in West Lothian. We will choose the perfect spot together, based on what feels right for your family, and plan a day that suits everyone.
Home Sessions
Family sessions can also take place in the comfort of your home. Before the shoot, I will ask a few questions about the light in your space and whether you would like to keep the session entirely indoors or include a visit to your garden or local park. The goal is to create a relaxed experience that reflects your family’s everyday life in the most natural way.
Beach Sessions
Beach sessions are not only visually stunning, but they are also a lot of fun. The open and relaxed setting helps everyone feel at ease, which leads to real smiles, natural expressions, and beautiful moments of connection.
I have also created a simple guide to help you prepare for a beach photoshoot. I photograph families by the sea often, and it is truly one of my favourite locations. The beach provides the perfect backdrop, with soft natural light and plenty of space to move, laugh, and play. It is ideal for capturing relaxed, joyful family portraits.
Just as an idea, you could organise your family gathering session on the beach, like Anne did for her 60th birthday celebration here.

Classic Studio Portraits
You have also my studio at your disposal. Studio family portrait sessions will concentrate on getting those key shots you are after. We can create nice traditional portraits or try to document those few wild moments as they unfold. When Amy asked to have a studio family session, she wasn’t really sure how this would all turn out. Here is what she had to say:
