Donna Green - Edinburgh family photographer
I've been photographing families in Edinburgh and across Scotland for over ten years, and for more than twenty of those years I've been a parent myself.
That matters, I think. I understand the pace of family life - the noise, the distraction, the way one stage slides into the next before you've quite registered it happening. I don't arrive expecting stillness or co-operation in my family photography sessions. I arrive expecting real life, and I work with what's there.
How I approach family photography
My approach is unhurried and unobtrusive.
I give direction when it helps, but mostly I'm paying close attention to what's already happening between you - the small gestures, the familiar expressions, the interactions that are so ordinary to you that you've almost stopped noticing them.
Those are usually the photographs that matter most later.
There's no pressure to perform, and no expectation that children will behave in a particular way. Some of the best photographs come from the moments when nobody is trying very hard at all.
You can find full details of sessions, pricing, and what's included on my main family photography page here.
A little about me
I'm originally from Kingussie in the Highlands, though Edinburgh has been home for a long time now.
My background is in communications, marketing, and photography, and that combination means I think carefully about how images work - not just how they look in the moment, but how they'll feel when you look back at them in ten or twenty years.
The way I work
Family photography is no longer the main focus of my work as I now spend most of my time on brand photography for small businesses and independent professionals across Scotland.
But I take on a small number of family sessions each year, and I give each one the same careful attention I bring to everything I do.
