Hi, I am Donne
I am passionate about capturing your baby’s ever-changing details and personality as well as family interactions and bonds through my images. I see my role as an opportunity to create beautiful artwork for families to treasure forever. As a parent, I am acutely aware of how quickly babies and children change and I feel privileged to be able to capture them beautifully for you. I love my job and often have to pinch myself when I think of how lucky I am to be charged with capturing such precious moments.
I have over 10 years of experience in creating and editing beautiful images for approximately 1500 families from all corners of the globe and because I specialise in babies and toddlers I can concentrate on being the best at it.
My number one priority to is ensure that both you and your little ones both feel and look good during your session. I am fully trained in newborn photography and safety and extremely experienced in toddler negotiations and promise nothing can shock me, every session is tailored to you and your little ones individually. There is plenty of time built into every session for feeding and cuddling and to ensure we get the maximum results for you.
Your session is completely bespoke to you, if left to my own devices all of my images would be white, creams and black and white neutrals but I appreciate that everyone has different tastes for their pictures and happy incorporate lots of colour into many of my sessions too, there is plenty to choose from in the studio. All newborn sessions include a pre-session consultation to ensure that we get exactly what you would like out of your session.
I prefer fully transparent pricing and all sessions and packages are listed on this website, it is designed to be supportive of clients receiving as many digital files as possible of their baby and family. I also only offer the very best wall art on the market should you wish to display your images in your home, this is entirely optional though, there is no obligation but I like to ensure that should you wish to have your artwork big that you have access to the best suppliers in the industry who are only accessible by professional photographers.
I am a studio based photographer, working from a purposely designed garden studio near the sea in Troon, when I am not in there you will find me editing into the night, ferrying my two children around or walking my lockdown labrador with my husband and childhood sweetheart.
