Barefoot Photography

Barefoot Photography (M & A Campbell) is a Kilmarnock-based studio specialising in family photography and Fine Art portraiture. With roots in portrait HNC study and years of club and exhibition experience, Michele and Alan bring a considered, award-winning eye to every family session. We focus on creating images that feel authentic and timeless — portraits you’ll want on your walls, not stuck on a hard drive. Why choose Barefoot for your family photoshoot? Our approach combines patience, technical skill and a quiet, conversational manner that helps children and babies relax. Michele’s Fine Art portraiture background means we pay close attention to light, composition and subtle expression so that each photograph reads like a carefully crafted portrait rather than a snapshot. Whether you’re booking a studio family portrait, a newborn session, or a children’s shoot, our goal is to capture real connections and natural moments. How we work with families: sessions are relaxed and child-centred. We build in time for feeds, comfort breaks and gentle prompting rather than forcing poses. For lively little ones we lean into playful direction; for newborns we take a calm, unhurried approach. Our studio in Dundonald is equipped with a varied range of props suitable for Fine Art children’s portraits and family compositions, and we can also shoot on location for parties or family gatherings when required. Our experience and values: both Michele and Alan are active in the local photography community and have gained recognition through national and international exhibitions. We value craftsmanship, respect for our subjects and a collaborative relationship with clients. Many families return for milestone sessions — from bump to baby to family portraits — because they appreciate our consistent, considered results. Finished images are delivered with care and can be ordered as prints, quality canvases or albums to suit your home. If you want a family photoshoot in Kilmarnock that blends Fine Art attention to detail with a warm, family-friendly atmosphere, Barefoot Photography is ready to help create images you’ll cherish for generations.
