Glencoe was looking absolutely spectacular for this maternity session! We had a fantastic sunny autumn day, beautiful colours across the Highlands and some amazing light to work with.
This lovely couple were visiting Scotland from the USA, and it was a pleasure to capture this special time in their lives. Mum to be looked beautiful, and we came away with so many lovely photos of them together and the growing bump. Really happy with how these turned out!

An 80th birthday, 11 family members and a beautiful setting at Inverlochy Castle! Three generations came together to celebrate Dad and Grandad's special birthday, including five kids who brought plenty of fun to the session.
The weather was looking a bit uncertain at first, but luckily we managed to spend most of our time outside, making the most of the stunning scenery around the castle. A bit of wind and light rain didn't bother us too much, and when the rain got heavier we headed inside for a few more photos.
Such a lovely family, great atmosphere and lots of happy moments captured. Really enjoyed this one!

There wasn't much standing still during this family session in Glencoe! With two energetic kids, we had plenty of chasing, throwing stones into the water, tickle fights and even a few sword fights using sticks they found along the way. The weather was fantastic too, with beautiful sunshine making Glencoe look incredible. Such a lovely family of four and an awesome session from start to finish. Really enjoyed this one!

I think we found Glencoe's biggest little rock collector during this session! Every new location meant another chance to add a few more stones to his collection, and he wasn't going to miss any of them!

We managed to explore quite a few beautiful spots around Glencoe with this lovely family of four, with plenty of fun, laughs and little adventures along the way. Their little girl was great fun too, and I really enjoyed photographing them all. So many lovely moments from this one!

Sneak peek from an extended family session in Glencoe with 7 adults and 6 kids, from toddlers up to 10 years old. We had some proper Scottish weather with rain, wind and thick clouds moving through the valley. The original plan was to start at the viewpoint, but the mist had other ideas, so we headed to Loch Achtriochtan and then the Three Sisters instead. The family embraced it all and had a great time. Such a fun group to photograph and some great moments came out of it.

The wind in Glencoe was something else during this session. At one point I thought I was going to get blown away! Luckily, it stayed dry.
It was great to see Kim and Bryan again after photographing their extended family a couple of years ago. This time Bryan was joined by his three brothers and their wives. Despite the wind, everyone was in great spirits and we had plenty of laughs along the way. Such a fun group to photograph and some beautiful moments captured!

A little bit of Kennedy clan history for this family session at Dunure Castle. Parents, their grown up kids and spouses travelled from the USA and hired kilts and tartan along to celebrate their Scottish roots. We started under cloudy skies, then the sun appeared just before sunset and gave us some amazing light. Such a fun family to photograph and plenty of great moments along the way.
