Lisa O'Neill is a Dunfermline-based family photographer specialising in lifestyle family portraits. She captures relaxed, authentic moments for families, newborns and children across Fife.
I specialise in family photography from my base in Dunfermline, bringing a lifestyle approach that captures your family as you really are. My work is about more than posed smiles — I look for the small, unscripted moments that tell your family’s story: the quiet morning cuddles, playful park chases, and the gentle, everyday gestures that become treasured memories. Why choose me? With over two decades behind the camera and a background photographing children and families, I know how to put everyone at ease. I focus on creating a relaxed atmosphere where natural interactions are encouraged rather than staged. Families tell me they enjoy the experience because I keep sessions light-hearted and fun, which makes it easier to capture genuine expressions and real connection. My approach is rooted in lifestyle photography. Before each session we’ll chat about what matters to you — favourite locations in Dunfermline, meaningful spots across Edinburgh and Fife, or the comfort of your own home. I adapt to your family’s rhythm: whether you’d like outdoor portraits among Scotland’s changing seasons, candid playtime with your children, or calm at-home newborn images, I aim to capture the mood and personality of your family. Working with babies and young children is a particular passion of mine. I understand routines, patience and the small details that make newborn and baby sessions special, and I’ll always work around your child’s needs so everyone feels comfortable. For family milestones — from first birthdays to seasonal portraits — I bring a calm, experienced presence that helps children and adults relax and enjoy the moment. My goal is to create images you’ll return to time and again: warm, honest family portraits that hang on your walls and live in your phone galleries. Based in Dunfermline and serving the surrounds of Edinburgh and Fife, I’m proud to be a local family photography specialist. If you’d like a session that reflects your family’s true, everyday beauty, get in touch and let’s plan a relaxed, joyful photoshoot together.
