Who doesn't love getting together with the family for a catch up and good blether?! Especially if you've travelled all the way from Jersey to do so! It was great fun photographing this lovely family and capturing the memories of a special occasion to cherish for a long while to come.

2017 has been fantastic - my fourth year in business and one that brought me many new milestones. I cannot wait to get my teeth into 2018!
Read MoreThis year's Open Studio Fine Art Sessions were another resounding success! So many great shots I couldn't resist sharing a few of my favourites from the day. Bring on next year :)
Phew! What a month…
Read MoreSuch a lovely family shoot at the weekend with these guys. It's always great to catch up with returning clients, especially when their little girl has been twice before - once for her baby shoot and then her first birthday. She is growing up so quickly and now she is a very proud big sister - gorgeous!
Niamh's first visit to the studio in 2015 with her best pal the elephant.
It's safe to say that Winter has recently made a sudden and abrupt appearance. Thankfully not before I managed to capture this lovely families portrait session the other week in the beautiful grounds of Portmore Estate. These guys had bags of energy throughout the session and were great fun to shoot.
I just couldn't resist sharing this from this weekends Rosetta Mini Portrait Sessions. A huge thanks to everyone who came along - it's always such great fun! Next stop, Eddleston Out of School Club on 11th -12th November. There are limited spaces left - email info@vanillamoonphotography.com to book a slot.
Anyone with an older sibling will know what I mean I say there is no other love like it. There are times when you fall out, fight like cat and dog, blame each other for something that the other did - the list goes on. But there are equal amounts of sticking up for each other, protecting one another and having each others back when it matters the most. I'm almost certain these two little guys will be no different. But it's impossible to hide how proud and protective this big brother was during the shoot and being able to capturing this makes my heart melt. Truly proud of his little brother in every single way, this is one big brother that will be a force to be reckoned with!
I couldn't resist a sneak peak of the recent photo shoot for the recent lucky Facebook competition winner and her lovely family. Despite the terrible weather, the autumn colours managed to stick around long enough to get some great family portraits.

Sometimes, just sometimes, I wish I could be wrapped up as snug as this little guy was during his recent visit to the studio. Who wouldn't?! So comfy and cosy - fast asleep without a care in the world with their best pal by their side. He even had a special little outfit crocheted by his Aunty to top off his cuddly slumber photo shoot. Cuteness personified.
What a beautiful wedding - one which I could photograph again and again!
Neil and Holly had the most romantic and unique wedding day. Set at The Hermitage in Dunkeld, their beloved four-legged friends, Bomber and Inky, had the honour of fulfilling some very important roles, namely Escort, Ring Bearer and Hound of Honour. The ceremony was wonderful, full of personal touches, loving glances, giggles and smiles.
Neil and Holly chose the perfect outdoor woodland setting for their wedding. With such stunning backdrops and wonderful people (and doggies) to photograph it was hard not to get some cracking shots of their big day.
Congratulations again Neil and Holly - your special day was amazing!
I love capturing that special bond between a Daddy and his little girl. What made this session even more special was the fact that the little girl has been to the studio before for her own portrait session and is somewhat of a Vanilla Moon Photography celebrity! One of her pictures from her last shoot was awarded a Bronze Award by the Guild of Photographers. A true natural in front of the camera - and so amazing to see how grown up she is becoming!
I cannot believe how much fun it was to photograph Duncan and Sarah's wedding at the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh. To say everyone thoroughly enjoyed it would be an understatement - in fact, I don't think there was a picture I took on the day that didn't catch them laughing. Such a lovely couple with so much energy that my own face ached by the end of the day from smiling so much! Coupled with a stunning Autumn back drop from all the exotic plants, it was one of my all time favourite days behind the lens. If laughter is the key to happiness, I'd say Duncan and Sarah will have it in abundance for the rest of their married lives. Congratulations again guys, its been great to have captured so many happy moments in your lives.
Client view coming soon.
Congratulations to Jill and Steven who got married at the Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club in Edinburgh two weeks ago. A great day with some lovely people and even the blustery conditions helped create a few unscripted and brilliant shots. Here is a collage of some of my favourites from the day.
Check back soon for a link to the gallery!
Why not something different?! It is a first Birthday after all - so why let loose with some favourite food?
This little man LOVES his spaghetti! Can't you tell? What fun he had! If you would like a Birthday photo-shoot with a difference, why not drop me an email? info@vanillamoonphotography.com
Of course, we always begin with some portraits before things get messy!
