“We’ve had photo shoots before, but nothing comes close to this. Everything about it was incredible. The building, the staff, how well you get looked after, the snacks, and of course Leanne and her beautiful photos. We had thought every photographer was the same. But this is a different world altogether. Can’t wait to be back.”
Sam & Aaron and baby Leon, January 2025
The Best Moments Deserve the Best Photography
Your baby’s first photoshoot is more than just another appointment—it’s a chance to preserve the tiny details, the first expressions, and the overwhelming love you feel right now. This isn’t the time to choose the cheapest option. It’s about choosing someone who will treat this moment with the care and attention it deserves.
At GWS Photography, we specialize in newborn photography that is relaxed, professional, and beautifully crafted. Our experience, expertise, and passion for what we do mean you’re not just getting photos—you’re getting a once-in-a-lifetime experience that captures your baby’s earliest days perfectly.
Think of it like a special dinner. Fast food is fine when you’re in a rush, but for big moments, you want the best experience. That’s what we offer—exceptional photography, a warm and welcoming studio, and results you’ll cherish forever. And while we’re not the cheapest, we are still very affordable, with flexible options to make sure every family can have stunning newborn portraits—even while on maternity pay.
What Age for your Baby Shoot - and how and when should I book ?
The best age ranges for baby shoots are:
- Maternity – 30 + weeks – whenever bump is big 🙂
- Newborn – First two to six weeks for perfect, sleepy newborns, but it’s also still very beautiful up to 4 months old.
- Sitter-Uppers – Around 7-10 months on (or when your child is self-supporting and sitting up)
- 1 year old – Cake Smash or paint party !
- If you are unsure call Allison on 07930 166715
But BOOK NOW ! It’s best not to wait until baby is here for newborns as we run one of the busiest (and best) baby studios in the country and we very often book out 3-6 weeks ahead and you might miss out.
We will reschedule for free if baby is late or early.

Baby Portrait FAQ
* Can me and my partner be in a few photos ?
YES ! Absolutely ! We love including mummy & daddy.
* Can we include siblings ?
Yes – but be aware the newborn session part can take 90-120 minutes and older kids can get very bored until their pictures at the end.
* Can we have the photos taken in our home ?
No, something as special as this need to be treated properly. Why stay at home when you can be looked after for two hours by our team, and the shoot experience itself becomes something so special – you WILL want to come back again.
It’s like the difference between getting a chippy tea, or eating at a fancy restaurant on those special occasions.
* Where are you, are you in Edinburgh ?
We have chosen the most perfect spot to be away from the stress of city parking and traffic… where you can ease along the A1 in 10-15 minutes and park right at our door – all day – for free.
Our studio is perfect for Edinburgh, The Lothians and Fife.
Our baby photographer Leanne comes in from the middle of Edinburgh every day and she knows it is so much easier doing that , than it is trying to navigate busy streets, roadworks and parking in the town.
