As promised we have chosen some of our favourite maternity, birth, newborn and family photography around Glasgow.
We do have to admit that we hold a very big soft spot for capturing families in a natural and authentic way in these lifestyle sessions. These photos happen organically and as they are as individuals, together as a couple and as a family and we love being able to capture this.
In this day and age, it’s so easy to just say to yourself that you can capture memories on your phone and also on your own camera, which is fine don’t get me wrong. However, professional photos which you can print and hang up on your walls, or dot around your place on shelves are priceless. We have an eye for bringing images to another level and creating memories to last generations.
So what are these sessions all about? Read on to find out more.
Maternity Sessions
Why get a maternity session?
There are so many things to think about while expecting, plan for and purchase. We are biased, sure, but as photographers, we think you should consider adding maternity photos to that list.
Here are some reasons why you should invest in one.
- To celebrate the pregnancy. It’s a beautiful thing! A lot of women say they feel their best during pregnancy while some others struggle with health and body issues. Whether or not you love how you look, as professionals we shall help you look and feel beautiful.
- To celebrate what you have created and to enjoy the pregnancy before the little one comes along. A new baby brings a lot of changes. Life as you know it will never be the same. So, take some time to capture the way things are just now.
- Capture the excitement and anticipation you have for the little baby inside that bump. Pregnancy is such an exciting time. Down the road, you might forget what it felt like to be expecting. Capture those emotions so you can look back on them with happy and special memories.
- If your little one will become a sibling involve your other children. A maternity photo session isn’t just about the expectant mum and dad, let them be part of the fun. They may be excited or struggling with the idea of a new addition to the family. Getting involved in a family shoot will help them feel a part of it all.

Birth Photography
This may not be for everyone but this is becoming increasingly popular. Everyone says a wedding is the most important and best day of your lives but not all will agree and it may very well be up there for folk who are getting married or are married, but welcoming a baby into the world is on a whole other level!
I (Chantal) have a passion for this side of our business and have captured a few births in and around Glasgow. In fact, fingers crossed I have another coming up shortly. I capture it in a photojournalistic and tasteful way and without flash. I capture the little moments like your partner helping, holding your hand… and most importantly the mind-blowing emotions that arise when that baby finally comes into your world to announce that he or she is all yours. It really is hard to put into words and I LOVE it!
You get all your photos and a beautiful slideshow.
Lifestyle Newborn Sessions
These sessions are done in the comfort of your own home where you are relaxed and in your own happy place as a family. This helps us get those authentic, unposed shots of you enjoying your little one. This is what makes this session such a great investment. To have someone capture those early moments of you as a family in the beginning and freeze those memories in time is priceless and something you will all look back on as a family as he or she grows up.
Here are 5 top reasons why we think you should get one
- Becoming a parent and bringing a newborn home for the first time is a crazy and wonderful feeling. Life has now changed forever. For a while you likely won’t know what you are doing with yourself, save caring for this new little one, but, you will settle into this brave new world. If ever a time in your life deserved to be immortalised with a professional photo shoot, it is now.
- Children have an incredible effect on time. They make it fly in and you won’t believe just how fast. These precious newborn days will be over in a flash. So savour them – even if they are sleepless. A newborn photo shoot will freeze this moment in time for you to enjoy forever.
- No matter how many photos you take on your phone, none will ever compare to the beauty of an artistically crafted newborn portrait. A professional knows what they are doing, they understand light, composition and how to handle and get the best from your baby. If your newborn photos are important to you, make sure you book a newborn photo shoot and add some professional portraits to your collection.
- Portraits of you with your little ones are a wonderful tool for affirming how much your little ones are loved. Start now and fill your home with framed portraits and make sure you are in some of them too. As with your newborn, a professional will know how to show off the best of you and regularly seeing a portrait in which look good will also make you feel good.
- Seize the day! Who knows what tomorrow will bring. Cherish every moment and celebrate the magic and wonder. That’s what life is all about!

Lifestyle Family Sessions
This is a chance to capture who you are as a family at that moment in time. These memories are worth capturing. We will capture interactions and individual personalities, the fun and silliness and most of all authentic precious moments between you as a family.
The idea of lifestyle photography is to achieve candid expressions of everyone having fun, and enjoying one another, and the results are more memorable.
It can be in your own home or in a location of your choice. We have been told many times by parents that they appreciate this so much because the children are more relaxed and able to enjoy the experience.
Reasons for booking these types of sessions really does follow the same gist as above. They all come to the same conclusion that memories should be respected, loved and deemed important enough to have them frozen in time in beautiful photographs.
