Natural, relaxed newborn and family photography in Edinburgh and West Lothian
Hello, I’m Cecilia, a newborn and family photographer based in Edinburgh and West Lothian – and a mum myself.
I know how intense, beautiful, and fleeting these seasons are. It’s why I care so much about capturing them in a way that feels real.
No pressure. No perfection. Just your family, and the connection between you.
Photos That Feel Like you, Not Something Staged
If the idea of awkward posing or perfectly behaved children feels a bit unrealistic, you’re not alone.
My photography sessions are calm, relaxed, and completely led by your family. There’s no pressure to perform or “get it right”—just space for you to be together while I quietly document it all.
The cuddles, the chaos, the way your children reach for you without thinking.
Photography Sessions
Relaxed, natural photography for every stage of family life—from your baby’s first days to the wonderfully busy years that follow.
Newborn Photography
Calm, baby-led photography in the comfort of your own home, with plenty of time for feeding, settling and cuddles.
Baby’s First Year
Three relaxed sessions documenting your baby’s journey from those early newborn days to their first birthday.
Family Photography
Natural family photography at home or outdoors, capturing connection, personality and the moments that make this stage yours.
From Newborn Days To Growing Families - This All Matters
Those early weeks with your baby can feel like a blur – and it doesn’t stop there.
It’s the toddler years, full of energy and emotion. The gap-toothed smiles. The way they climb onto your lap, even when they’re getting bigger.
And so often, you’re the one behind the camera, capturing it all – but rarely in it.
My sessions are your chance to step in. To be present. To have your connection, your family, and this stage of life captured honestly – because it all matters, and it all moves on so quickly.

Kind Words From Other Mums
Thinking About Booking Your Session?
If you’re expecting, or simply want to hold onto this stage a little longer, I’d love to chat. No pressure, no hard sell – just a friendly conversation to see if it feels like the right fit.
