“We wanted to capture our daughter’s energy and personality and the three of us interacting as a family, so more fly on the wall rather than a typical family photo shoot. Armands brought so much energy that our daughter was buzzing, smiling ear to ear in every photo and really engaging with him and the camera.We can’t recommend Armands highly enough, if you’re looking for someone you can trust to really care and go the extra mile, capture your family’s personality and really engage, please don’t look any further.”

Fun and Relaxed Family Photography

Capturing your family in photographs is always on the to-do list but there’s just never the time, is there? Yet you’d love to have photographs that document your family as they really are. So, let me help you!Book a photoshoot with me and I will ensure you never forget all of those amazing moments.

A photoshoot experience the whole family will love

You are looking for photography stories which reflect real you and relation with your kids. I have done family photoshoots in Edinburgh for over 8 years now and seen everything. Tantrums, super shy and super hyper. Bring it on energy and we will have some fun.

I’m a family photographer in Edinburgh and dad of three myself and let me tell you – it has been a mad journey. Definitely lost and still loosing hair and gaining more wrinkles on my face. Saying that I love everyday I can play and negotiate with kids. Roll around with them and play “monster” games.

It is scary how fast they grow and while I’m here I want to document family lives as they are for your kids to rememmber.

What type of family photo session is right for you? Studio or Outdoors?

How would you describe your family? My goal is to photograph your family story so it reflects true you with children. Are you very active and enjoying your time with kids outdoors? Maybe you just like to cuddle on the sofa and read books with kids, enjoy crafts, baking with them? This would be a perfect opportunity to invite a family photographer to document your story.

‘Day in Life’ and ‘Slice in Life’ family portrait photography photo sessions.

‘Day in Life’ and ‘Slice in Life’ both are candid unposed photo journalism family portrait session. I can be with you only few hours which would be just a slice or it can be whole day from moment you wake up till you go to sleep. In that case it would be Day in Life photoshoot. I would document all little moments. Moments which moms and dads do every day. Real life stuff you know. We always have these memories in heads, but never really in portraits. Personally I love documenting my kids in such a way and I’m sure you would too.

Classic Studio Portraits

You have also my studio for full 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 unfolding wild moments. When Amy asked to have studio family session, she wasn’t really sure how this all will unfold. Here is what she had to say.

Amy

“What a great experience – highly recommended. We arrived at Armands’ studio. Our 1 year old and 4 year old don’t sit still much. We were given a warm welcome and Armands took time to chat with the kids and gain their trust. They took a shine to him straight away. The photo session was hugely enjoyable for all – full of laughter.”

Family Portrait Outfit Ideas — What to Wear.

When deciding what outfits to wear for family or children portraits the main thing is to be comfortable and aware of coordination – consider how you will look individually and as a group. Avoid clothing with words, logos or bold patterns. A good approach is to pick a colour scheme, and have all the members of the family in complementary – though not matching – outfits.
Black-on-black always looks classic and for portraits is timeless.
Meanwhile black and white photography is becoming increasingly popular. On my blog, I share a few suggestions for what to wear for children and family photography sessions. Read the post here.
