The best family photography for Edinburgh and the Lothians
Family portrait experiences that everyone loves
It’s not every day you get professional family portraits taken—which is why it should be more than just a photoshoot. It should be a fun, relaxed experience that leaves you with beautiful portraits you’ll treasure more and more as the years go by.
Every session at our studio is a team effort between Grahame & Allison. We make sure everyone feels comfortable, confident, and—after a good chat over a cuppa—ready to create stunning images that truly capture your family.
Got a shy child? A toddler who never sits still? A teen or partner who “hates having their photo taken”? Perfect! Those are the sessions we love most. By the time we’re done, you’ll all be wondering what you were ever worried about—and you’ll have incredible portraits to prove it.
Don't Wait for 'Someday'—Book Your Family Portrait Now! Life moves fast, and next month isn't guaranteed. Capture your family's love today—you’ll always be glad you did.
“Absolutely so much fun , we all loved our family photoshoot. They were so good at capturing gorgeous photos of our young children and our family . Altogether such an enjoyable experience and we were treated so well . Thanks GWS we love our cherished memories to hang proudly on our wall. “
“Highly Recommend!! Kids had an amazing time at their photoshoot 😊 Graham & Allison couldn’t have been nicer, so patient and friendly! My son said afterwards Graham should be a kids comedian, so he was a hit! Allison kept my 2 year old amused which is not an easy job at all.
We went back to see the pictures and same again lovely relaxed atmosphere while we picked our favourite ones. Everything was then ready within 7 days to collect. Cannot fault the whole experience at all! We will definitely be back again”
