Spence Photography is a Bathgate-based family photography specialist. We create relaxed, personalised sessions for newborns, babies, children and family portraits, producing heirloom wall-art and keepsakes.
Specialists in family portraits, right here in Bathgate At Spence Photography we focus on one thing above all else: creating family portraits you’ll treasure. As a Bathgate-based studio with deep experience in newborns, babies, children and milestone shoots (baptisms, communions, birthdays), we position ourselves as family photography specialists — bringing a calm, confident approach that helps even the most camera-shy families relax. Why choose us We believe great portraits come from people skills as much as technical skill. Barrie and the team make sessions friendly, unhurried and enjoyable so your family can be themselves. That relaxed atmosphere, combined with a refined, subtle use of light and an eye for elegant composition, is how we capture genuine expressions and real connection — images that become heirlooms on your wall. What makes our approach special Our work is a fusion of classic and contemporary portraiture. We favour clean, uncomplicated styling that highlights personality and relationship rather than gimmicks. For newborn and baby sessions we prioritise safety, warmth and patience; for children we work with gentle direction and fun; for family and milestone shoots we listen carefully to what matters to you and craft portraits that feel personal and timeless. We print and present your images as hand-crafted wall-art and keepsake products designed to be displayed and enjoyed daily. How we work with you Every session is bespoke. Before your shoot we’ll chat about what you want and how you want to display your portraits. Time in the studio is paced to suit your family — no rushed sessions. After shooting we select and present only the best images in a relaxed design consultation, guiding you on sizes and presentation so your portraits look spectacular in your home. We take pride in meticulous retouching and quality-controlled printing to ensure the finished pieces truly ‘wow’. Local, experienced, dedicated Based at Blackburn House in West Lothian, Spence Photography serves Bathgate and the wider central Scotland area. If you want family photos that feel real, beautiful and built to last, we’d love to talk and tailor an experience just for your family.
