Dawn Martin Photography

Dawn Martin is a specialist family photographer based in Cambuslang who has spent more than a decade building a reputation for warm, honest portraiture that families actually want to live with. Her approach is simple: put people at ease, listen to the story you want to tell, and create relaxed, natural images that capture genuine connection rather than stiff, posed smiles. Why choose Dawn for your family photoshoot? With years of experience photographing children, babies and growing families — plus time spent as a photography lecturer — Dawn combines technical skill with a calm, reassuring manner. She understands how to work with toddlers, teenagers and grandparents alike, using gentle direction, playful prompts and a patient pace so everyone feels comfortable. The result is heartfelt photographs that reflect your family’s true personality. Dawn’s sessions are designed around real life. Whether you prefer the controlled lighting and cosy facilities of her Cambuslang studio or a more informal session at home or a nearby outdoor location, she plans each shoot to suit your family’s rhythm and style. Her aim is always to capture the small moments — the way siblings lean on each other, a quiet look between parents, or a child’s spontaneous laugh — moments that become treasured portraits. Beyond the shoot, Dawn helps families turn images into lasting keepsakes. She offers a personalised design service to show how photographs will sit in your home, helping you choose wall art, frames or albums that complement your décor. Dawn’s focus is on creating tangible portraits you’ll display with pride, not files that sit forgotten on a hard drive. Working with Dawn is collaborative and unhurried. From an initial chat to understand your ideas, through the relaxed shoot day and a comfortable viewing appointment where you select your favourites, she ensures a friendly, pressure-free experience. While Dawn is also skilled in maternity and newborn portraiture, her primary passion and expertise is family photography — capturing the relationships and moments that matter most. If you’re in Cambuslang or the surrounding areas and want family portraits that feel authentic and timeless, Dawn Martin offers thoughtful, professional sessions tailored to your family.
