Gail Photography

Gail Photography specialises in family photography from Glasgow, bringing a relaxed, natural approach that puts children and parents at ease. With almost three decades working with people and families, Gail knows how to capture those fleeting, cheeky smiles and quiet, everyday moments that become the most treasured images. Her sessions are informal and fun — the camera is simply there to record real family life rather than force awkward poses. Most family shoots take place where families feel most comfortable: your home, garden or favourite local park. Gail is not a fan of studio shots for children; she prefers natural light and familiar surroundings where little ones can be themselves. For newborns and very young babies, an at-home session lets Gail work gently, using natural light and simple prompts so parents and babies stay relaxed. For toddlers and older children, she often encourages play, toys or sibling games so the smiles and interactions are genuine. The process begins with a friendly conversation to understand what matters most to your family — favourite locations, meaningful connections you want captured, and any practical needs. On the day, Gail’s calm, unobtrusive style creates a comfortable atmosphere where candid moments naturally unfold. She brings years of editorial experience from press and magazine work, so she balances reportage storytelling with beautiful composition, colour and mood. The result is a bank of timeless images that reflect your family’s personality and relationships. Gail also understands the realities of photographing children: patience, humour and the ability to adapt are essential. As a parent herself, she knows the little tricks that help children relax and engage. After the shoot, images are carefully edited to highlight the natural colours and emotions of the day, producing photographs you’ll be proud to display and revisit. If you’re looking for authentic family portraits in Glasgow or anywhere in Scotland, Gail Photography offers a specialist and experienced option. Whether it’s a newborn session, a playful children’s shoot or a relaxed family portrait in your favourite place, Gail will help you create lasting memories.
