WHAT CLIENTS SAY

Once we got to Karolina’s welcoming studio we couldn’t have felt more at ease. Her patient and gentle manner allowed us to not feel rushed and she took the time to understand what we wanted out of the shoot, and therefore she was able to capture our baby in a natural and thoughtful way. The process from booking, to photoshoot, to choosing our package and final images was incredibly smooth. We feel so lucky to have found her as our photographer and will treasure the photos forever.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

BABY PHOTOGRAPHY IN EDINBURGH

We had the loveliest mini shoot experience with Karolina. Communication was great throughout – from arranging the session, providing details of the day to the follow up zoom to go over the photos. On the day Karolina made us feel very welcome from the start – it was easy to relax in her company and in her lovely home studio. She had the magic touch with our boy Louis and captured precious moments for us to look back on and cherish in years to come.  We highly recommend Karolina – can’t thank her enough for such beautiful photos. Will be looking to book again in the future.

We recently had our newborn photoshoot with Karolina. She was very helpful through the full process and the communication was excellent. Karolina made us feel welcomed and relaxed throughout the shoot. She was very helpful with settling our baby in between photos and feeding. We never felt rushed through any of it and she made sure we got all the photos taken we wanted. The quality of photos are outstanding, 10/10 would recommend.

9 month old baby photoshoot edinburgh

We recently had a sitter session with our 9 month old son and couldn’t recommend Karolina more. Her communication was brilliant from start to finish, she gave so much information on what the session would involve, how to dress and what to bring and immediately put myself and my baby at ease. The session was quick and really fun. Karolina is clearly a very experienced family photographer and gave really clear instructions throughout. She was amazing at getting my normally shy baby to warm up and show his cheeky personality. Her photos capture this stage so perfectly and will be a really special keepsake for years to come.
