Hillhouse Studio photography services

Passionate about portraits

Individual portrait photography sessions are designed with you in mind. We take the time to carefully capture what makes you unique in a relaxed and enjoyable way, ensuring every image reflects your personality and style. Our goal is to create beautiful, meaningful portraits that you will cherish for a lifetime.

As a passionate family photographer in Edinburgh, I love creating relaxed, enjoyable sessions that capture the genuine connections, laughter and little moments that make your family unique. My aim is to help everyone feel at ease, creating natural family portraits full of personality.

Sessions usually last around 60–90 minutes, depending on your family. With larger families or little ones who need a little time to settle, we simply take things at their pace.

There’s no need to rush. It’s about enjoying the time together while I capture natural, beautiful photographs that you’ll treasure for years to come.

Seasonal mini shoots are increasingly popular among individuals looking to capture beautiful moments in a concise timeframe. These tend to be shorter and more specific, making them a highly affordable option for various occasions.

For example, they are perfect for memorable events such as graduations, birthdays, festive holidays, Mother’s Day, or simply because you want to celebrate life’s little joys. These mini photography sessions can be arranged at short notice, often allowing flexibility to suit last‑minute plans.

Our pet photography sessions can take place in the studio, the garden, or a combination of both. We’ll capture your pet’s unique personality through a variety of natural poses and playful moments.

Bring along their favourite squeaky toys and some tasty treats to help keep them happy and engaged. The session can be all about your furry friend, or you can include family members too, creating special memories for everyone.

Most importantly, we’ll take our time and let your pet settle in, making the experience relaxed, fun and enjoyable for all.

A strong personal brand helps you connect with your audience and communicate the value of your business. Our personal branding photography sessions are relaxed and designed to capture authentic, professional images that reflect your personality and brand.

Sessions are usually around 30 minutes, giving us time to create a variety of natural images for your website, social media, LinkedIn, and marketing.

Your model portfolio can be tailored to your individual needs, creating a varied selection of images that showcases your look, style and versatility. Whether you’re building a new portfolio or refreshing an existing one, we can create images that reflect your strengths.

You can also have your favourite images beautifully presented in a Print Folio book — a professional way to showcase your portfolio.

Cosplay photography blends multiple images to craft surreal, magical scenes that transport you beyond reality. This incredible art form invites the imagination to wander through vibrant landscapes filled with extraordinary creatures and enchanting environments, offering a visual escape that captivates and inspires wonder in those who behold it.

Sessions usually take 90 minutes or more, with much of the time spent discussing and developing ideas together. We’ll work collaboratively to create bespoke images, with plenty of scope to bring your ideas to life.

Cosplay works wonderfully for children, placing them with their favourite animals and creatures, but equally works well for adults looking for a little escapism and creative expression. A novel gift idea for a special birthday.
