The Blyth Family Portrait – Inch Park, Edinburgh

-

Last weekend we had the pleasure of joining Laureyn and her four children on a perfect autumn day, for a fun portrait session in Inch Park, Edinburgh.

Instead of the usual stuffy, posed,  ‘stand-still, say-cheese’ portraits, Laureyn wanted a portrait of her kids having fun. Just the kind of portraits we like to take! We had a really great time trying to keep up with this energetic bunch, and we think we managed to capture their lively personalities.

Here are a few of our favourites from the shoot:

Millie spots the camera   The kids walking in the park  The kids running in the park  Devon poses by a tree  Aaron and Joshua swinging Millie  Devon tries to hide from us  Millie gives us a cute glance  Millie looking for sticks  The kids stand still for a minute and pose by the wall  Millie runs along the path  The girls hide behind a tree  Sisters reach for each others' hands  The kids pose on tree stumps  Brothers laughing  Millie takes a break on a tree stump

Lynsey’s Maternity Shoot – 28 Weeks

-

My wife, Lynsey and I wanted some maternity shots before the birth of our first baby. We’ll probably do another shoot nearer the birth date, but we wanted to try one now in case we left it too late! :)

All of these shots, except the last one, were taken with one strobe to the left of camera at various heights. I set up a black muslin behind and over our bed to give Lynsey a comfortable place to pose. Here are the results of my first attempt at maternity photography:
