Glencoe family photographer

Glencoe family photographer

Glen Etive amazed me again in this family session with its stunning light and mood. Suzanne contacted me about having a shoot for her family of three in Glencoe when they were planning their holiday in Scotland. It always excites me to shoot there. The weather was not looking great when I was on my way to Glen Etive. It was windy, it was raining, and quite chilly. They embraced it like champs and just a few minutes after we started our session, we were stunned at how the sky opened up creating this really amazing light. We only had an hour before it started to rain again and everyone was cold, but it was more than enough to create an awesome gallery for them. I hope you will enjoy viewing this session.

Glen Etive’s Ever-Changing Beauty: A Family Session to Remember

There’s something truly magical about Glen Etive—no matter how many times I’ve visited, it never fails to amaze me with its ever-changing light and mood. This family session was no exception. Suzanne reached out to me while planning her family holiday in Scotland, hoping to capture special moments with her family of three in the breathtaking landscapes of Glencoe. Knowing how incredible this area is, I was thrilled to bring their vision to life.

When I set out for Glen Etive that day, the weather wasn’t looking particularly promising. The wind howled through the valleys, the rain came down in bursts, and the air was chilly—typical Scottish Highlands weather that often keeps visitors bundled up indoors. But Suzanne and her family embraced it all with such enthusiasm and positivity, determined to make the most of the experience.

A Moment of Magic in the Highlands

As we began the session, something extraordinary happened. Just a few minutes in, the skies shifted, and Glen Etive revealed one of its most breathtaking displays. The rain clouds parted, and a soft, golden light bathed the landscape, casting an ethereal glow over the rugged hills and winding rivers. It felt like the Highlands were showing off just for us.

We didn’t have long before the rain returned, but in that brief window, we created something truly special. The family’s warmth and connection shone through every image. From the way they laughed together to the quiet moments of holding hands and admiring the scenery, their love was as much a part of the landscape as the hills themselves.

Turning Challenges Into Memories

Despite the chilly wind and the rain’s persistence, Suzanne and her family were absolute champs. They embraced the unpredictable weather with smiles and a sense of adventure, which is what makes sessions like these so memorable. It’s always incredible to see families step into the wild beauty of the Highlands and let their natural connection shine against such a dramatic backdrop.

A Glimpse into Their Session

I’m so excited to share this gallery with you because it’s a perfect reminder of what makes outdoor sessions in Scotland so special. The unpredictability of the weather often leads to the most striking moments—moments you simply can’t plan for but are so grateful to experience.
