Kirsty Hall Photography

I’m Kirsty — a Bonnyrigg-based family photographer who believes the best portraits are the ones that feel like real life. I specialise in relaxed, natural family photography across Bonnyrigg, Edinburgh and the Lothians, favouring outdoor locations where children can be themselves and personalities shine. My images are candid, warm and honest — the kind of pictures you’ll want on your walls every day. My approach is simple: I create a calm, playful atmosphere so families can enjoy being together rather than worrying about posing. With a gentle mix of direction and documentary-style shooting, I capture the little interactions — the laughter, the tug-of-war with a favourite toy, the way a small hand finds yours. Multi-generation shoots, portraits with dogs, and sessions that include children of all ages are all part of what I do; I aim to make the whole family feel relaxed and involved. Working with me starts with a friendly, no-pressure consultation so we can choose the right location and feel confident about the plan. On the day I bring the patience and sense of fun needed to photograph kids, and afterwards you’ll receive a private online gallery where you can view and order prints, folios and wall pieces. I care about how your photos live in your home — from framed portraits to gallery prints — and I’ll guide you towards display options that suit your space and style. Having photographed families since 2012, I understand how quickly moments pass. My sessions are designed to be unhurried and memorable — a chance to slow down, play, and come away with images that genuinely reflect your family story.
