Meet Leanne — Your Baby’s Photographer
This is Leanne, the photographer who’ll be looking after you and your little one.
Leanne has photographed hundreds of babies here at GWS and has a wonderful knack for making new parents feel relaxed from the moment they arrive.
She’s a qualified, insured and first-aid trained newborn photographer — but just as importantly, she’s patient, friendly and completely unfazed by everything babies can throw at her. Feeds, cuddles, changes and little breaks are all part of the experience.
You don’t need to know how to pose your baby or worry about whether they’ll settle. Leanne will guide you through everything.

It’s best to book before baby arrives — we’re one of the busiest baby studios in Scotland and often book 3–6 weeks ahead. If baby is early or late, we’ll reschedule for free.
Can me and my partner and older kids be in a few photos?
Absolutely — we love including parents and siblings. Some of the most popular images chosen are the family ones.
Can we bring the family dog ?
If your dog is well behaved enough – yes. But sometimes it’s best to wait until sitter session with doggy that is amazing and will give you the complete family set of photos. Your baby sitting up with doggy gives amazing results.
What about packages?
We are very much one of the best studios in the country for the choice of ways to have your photos. We have digital packages from £295, framed photos from £199 and many, many more options. Our rooms are full of sample products for you to choose the perfect display for home.
Where are you based?
Our studio is just outside Edinburgh, on farmland with easy access from the A1. You’ll avoid city traffic and parking stress — just drive up, park right at the door (for free, all day), and relax. Perfect for families from Edinburgh, the Lothians, and Fife.
What if my baby doesn’t settle?
That’s normal! We allow plenty of time, take breaks whenever needed, and never rush. A relaxed baby makes for the best photos — and we’ve got the patience of saints.
Is my baby safe?
Absolutely. We’ve photographed over 600 babies and our amazing baby photographer Leanne has the nickname of “The Baby Whisperer” !
