A-Fotografy Photography Studio

I’m Armands — a dad of three and the photographer behind A‑Fotografy, based in the heart of Edinburgh. Family photography is my core passion: I specialise in creating relaxed, honest portraits that celebrate the everyday connections between parents, children and grandparents. Whether you want classic studio portraits, playful outdoor sessions or an in‑home ‘Slice of Life’ story, my goal is the same — to capture how your family truly is right now. Why choose A‑Fotografy for your family photoshoot in Edinburgh? I blend a photographer’s eye for composition and light with a parent’s understanding of how children behave. Over the years I’ve developed a calm, playful approach that helps even the most camera‑shy children relax. I aim for images that feel effortless and unforced — smiles earned by games, laughter and a bit of silliness, not by pressure. Many families come to me wanting portraits for their walls; I design sessions with that end in mind so your images become daily reminders of what matters. My approach is personal and practical. I take the time to learn what you want before the session — the locations you love, small details that matter, and the kind of portraits you’ll display at home. On the day I keep things flexible: follow the children’s energy, create a few intentional posed portraits and spend time documenting candid interactions. If you prefer a quieter, documentary style, my ‘Slice of Life’ sessions let me spend more time with your family to record genuine moments as they unfold. Safety, respect and warmth are central to how I work. Pets are warmly welcomed — I often include furbabies in family and newborn sessions, and when necessary I use careful composite techniques to ensure everyone’s comfortable and safe. I also understand how important printed artwork is; beyond beautiful digital images, I help families design wall portraits, storyboards and heirloom pieces that turn photographs into heirlooms. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Edinburgh who thinks like a parent, photographs like an artist and helps you design finished portraits you’ll live with every day, let’s chat. I love meeting families, hearing your story and planning a session that reflects who you are.
