Michelle Malone is an Airdrie-based family photography specialist. Her documentary-style, natural aesthetic creates relaxed outdoor family and children portraits, perfect for camera-shy families.
Michelle Malone is a specialist in family photography based in Airdrie, serving families across the Glasgow area. Her approach is rooted in a natural aesthetic and documentary-style storytelling — she aims to capture the genuine interactions, quiet moments and joyful chaos that make your family unique. If posed, studio-style shots feel intimidating to you, Michelle prefers to create an easy-going day out: exploring a park, wandering through a city street or enjoying familiar corners of your local surroundings. What sets Michelle apart is her focus on atmosphere and connection. She works to make camera-shy parents and children feel comfortable through gentle direction and a relaxed pace. Rather than forcing stiff smiles or staged poses, her sessions encourage play, conversation and small moments of togetherness that translate into authentic, timeless family portraits. The result is a collection of images that feel warm, natural and full of personality — photographs you’ll be happy to display and revisit for years to come. For newborn and baby sessions Michelle brings the same documentary sensibility into the home. These shoots are unhurried and centred on family life — the quiet morning cuddles, sleepy yawns and bonding that happen in your own environment. Michelle often allows a couple of hours for newborn sessions to capture a range of intimate moments and genuine smiles without pressure. The process is simple and personal. Michelle begins with a conversation to understand what matters most to your family — favourite locations, practical needs and any little routines that help children settle. On the day she aims to keep things fun and flexible, prioritising natural light and warm, neutral tones that complement your family rather than overpower it. After the shoot you receive beautifully edited images that reflect your real life together. Choosing Michelle Malone Photography means hiring a family photography specialist who values honesty, ease and atmosphere. Based in Airdrie and working across nearby Glasgow, Michelle creates relaxed, narrative-driven family and children portraits that preserve the small moments you’ll treasure forever.
