I completely understand that being in front of a camera can feel a bit daunting! (Guilty secret: I don't love it myself, either.)

My main priority is making sure you feel at ease because that results in the best photographs, so I’ll chat with you before we even begin to find out what makes you most comfortable.

On the day, we’ll take everything at your pace - there is never any pressure to “perform.” If you need a break, we pause. If you need guidance, I give it.

My aim is to bring out the best and most natural version of you in a relaxed way, so you actually enjoy the process rather than dread it.

I've got a dedicated “what to wear and prep” guide that I’ll send you as soon as you book.

It covers everything from outfit ideas to little details you might not think about.

Don’t worry if you’re still uncertain - I’m always here to help you decide! I've can also recommend people to help with hair and make-up, and a brilliant personal stylist.

I shoot on location only, as I believe it shows far more personality than any studio can.

I have loads of ideas for great spots in and around Edinburgh, and I’ll be happy to advise you on the best place to match your style.

You might also like a look at my “best locations in Edinburgh for brand photoshoots” blog post for my businss clients - it’s full of inspiration and shows how many different vibes we can capture outdoors or in public indoor spaces.

Absolutely, yes. You can bring a change of outfit, or at least a different jacket and accessories, to mix things up a bit.

We’ll have up to an hour, so there's usually enough time for a quick outfit swap or two.

Just let me know your ideas and we can make a plan so you get the variety you want.

I’ll give you as much direction as you need - and you can leave it all to me if you like, you'll be in safe hands.

Over the years, I’ve learned plenty of tips and tricks to make people look and feel great on camera. I know how to angle you and where to position you so we show off your best features while keeping it all looking natural and effortless.

I offer light retouching, but I’ll always chat with you beforehand to find out exactly what you do and don’t want.

The most important thing is that the final images feel true to you. I’m a big fan of making sure skin looks realistic (not overly airbrushed), so you’ll still look like yourself - just on a really good day.

After our session, I’ll upload all the best shots, all retouched and beautfully finished, into a private online gallery. From there, you can choose your eight favourites. 

If you fall in love with more than eight, no problem - you can buy extra images at £10 each.

I like to make sure the editing is just right, so it usually takes me between one and two weeks to get the gallery over to you. 

Of course. I understand the importance of privacy with dating profile photos.

I may use some of the shots in my overall portfolio, but I promise not to identify you as a dating profile client, nor will I ever use your name or any other personal details.

If you would prefer that I don’t feature any of your photos at all, just let me know and we can discuss that option too.

That’s absolutely fine. I’ll always ask in advance if there are any features or areas you’d like to emphasise, hide, or de-emphasise, so I can pose and frame you in ways you feel good about.

Your comfort is everything - if something isn’t right for you, we simply won’t do it.

A standard session can last up to one hour, which usually gives us plenty of time to get a great variety of shots.

If you think you’ll need a bit longer for extra outfits or for a slower pace, just let me know and we can arrange a longer session.
