School photos with bags of personality!

School Photography Mini Sessions

NEXT DATE: SATURDAY 6TH MAY 2023

Venue: Davidson's mains, edinburgh

Fancy some gorgeous, natural, fun school photos, but we don't come to your school? Then book your children in for our next school photo mini-session! Your booking fee, plus 20% of all profits from this school photography day, will be donated to help local children's charities.

We've created a school and nursery photography experience that is both distinctive and fun. We produce photos that show children at their very best, capturing their character without forced smiles. Kids that we photograph have fun, want to come back, and get a self-esteem boost!

Our school photography is the kind people want to proudly display on their walls; it's a boutique photographic experience at a school photo price. 

"Adorable, beautiful and natural school photos that actually look like your child but better – like when they are being unusually angelic, cute and charming"

School mini sessions will suit you if... 

Your kids are at different schools so you never manage to get a nice photo of them together. 

Have you got a preschooler, P5 and S2 all at different schools (or are we the only crazy ones?)... These sessions have got you covered – we take both individual and sibling photographs. 

You want natural, real photos of your kids to remember each school year.

No more forced "cheese" smiles that make your little ones look a little weird, or selfie poses and pouts on your teens that are just a tad scary. These sessions are fun, relaxed and we work very VERY hard to make sure we capture your children as they *really* are. 

You don't have time for fuss or the brainpower for more 'things to do'.

We hear you! The last thing you need is another long and drawn out 'activity' to drag your kids to at the weekend. That's why we do everything we can to make these sessions quick and painless – five minutes, that's all we need. 

You're worried your kids won't play ball. 

Rebecca has been photographing children for over twenty years and can count on one hand the number of children who she haven't been able to get a nice, natural photograph of. She speaks both 'threenager' and grumpy teen fluently!

Rebecca is such a talented photographer. I received the photos today and they are so special. My husband said he couldn’t believe how she managed to capture their souls in a single photograph-praise indeed! 

Would highly recommend it, Rebecca was so great with my children and it was a relaxed fun session allowing my children to be themselves rather than being asked to pose awkwardly.
Emma McGroarty
Rebecca’s friendly and fun approach put both my daughters at ease straight away. She was professional and efficient, whilst taking the time to make sure details were just right. 

She created a lovely relaxed environment and captured beautiful natural and joyful moments between my daughters, with a good selection of different shots to choose from. 

The best school photos ever, I would highly recommend!
Pamela Barnes
Rebecca understands children and what makes a good photo. She has fun, puts everyone at ease and then gets amazing shots! We have had family, dance and school shoots and have been delighted with them all.

    who are we?

    REBECCA HOLMES - PHOTOGRAPHER

    I’m an award-winning photographer with over two decades of experience taking photographs professionally. I’m also a wife, a musician and a mum of three who loves nutella, good coffee and fantastic G&Ts.

    I am warm, gentle and super easygoing. There is literally nothing that can phase me. 

    I bring an ease and cheer to my work that makes me excellent (in particular) with children and families. I adore kids and getting the most delirious giggles out of them at a session is one of the best perks of my job. 

    LUCY WILSON - SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHY ADMINISTRATOR

    I've a background in Media Libraries and Information management, so organising school photography is right up my street! I'm also a piano teacher and mum of two. 

    After years of school photos of my children with unusual poses and odd expressions - I'm thrilled to be able to help Rebecca provide a better school photography experience. 

    The school photos Rebecca has taken of my two are natural, relaxed and happy and my children love them!

    One of the best bits of my job is getting to know all of your children - putting them at ease (and tidying up their ties!) ahead of having their pictures taken.
