Jennifer contacted me looking for some family photos with her niece Amelia, so we arranged a wee shoot at Pollok Park. However, we did not expect to get a good 3-4 inches of snow the day before! 14 month old Amelia had only encountered the snow a few times before, but, after a tentative couple […]
It’s official, I shoot people too! And for the run up to the holidays, I’m doing mini photo shoots on demand and on location. My style is not too formal, more relaxed focussing on capturing natural fun and expressions… Each session includes: Approx 45 mins shoot Approx 20 edited images (to print or share as you like) […]
I’ve known the Melvin family for around twenty years, as it was Andy, Pipe Major of Williamwood Pipe Band, who taught me to play the bagpipes whilst in the Boys’ Brigade.

Happy New Year! After what has been a very busy festive season, it’s almost time to get back to ‘normal.’ We had some overseas family here during the holidays, and as you do, we took a few day trips to the popular Scottish ‘tourist spots’ so at least they got a chance to see some […]
