I’m Ally, the lady behind the camera. I specialise in photographing babies. I have masses of patience and a real affinity with newborns, babies and new parents. I have a beautiful studio right beside my home and I can’t wait to welcome you to it.

I am a Mum to four grown up children and I have 3 amazing little grandchildren.

BABY

Your baby will be changing on a daily basis. They are turning into the little person they will become. Chubby and squishy with amazingly soft skin. Cheeky grins and bright button eyes. Don’t miss a moment.

BABY DETAILS

Chubby cheeks and heart shaped rosy lips. I could honestly photograph every inch of your baby. It really is the tiny details that you drink in when watching them sleep that you will forget over the years. I adore curled tiny fingers and and soft squishy little toes.

What other delighted parents are saying

 

We are so happy with the pictures that Ally has captured of our baby girl and really enjoyed the whole experience of the new born photo shoot from start to finish. Our baby was just 5 days old during and it was such a chilled out experience. We felt at ease throughout - the pictures are amazing and we'll cherish them forever.

— Laura Cairns

Absolutely loved our newborn photo shoot with Ally! She was so calm and confident and patient with our baby. We could tell that she genuinely enjoyed taking the photos. Our photos are stunning. Ally captured baby in them brilliantly! Such special memories. We’ll cherish them for years to come.

Luxury Boutique Studio

I am very lucky to have a bright modern studio right next to my home. It’s the perfect space for me to create wonderful portraits of your children. There’s free parking. Just bring your baby in their car seat. For older babies it’s a calming environment. It’s very easy to reach from Aberdeen, Dundee and Perth. I have many clients who come from Glasgow and Edinburgh. Babies and parents adore the time they spend at Mabel & Møøse.

What Happens at a Photo Session?

On the day of your shoot I will welcome you into my studio. There will be plenty of time to relax and feed or change your baby. There will be no one booked in immediately after you so you won’t feel rushed. I like to work in a calm environment. That’s best for your baby and for you two as new parents.

A Soft Tender Touch

Babies need no more than this. They are gorgeous as they are. I use lots of whites and greys to bring out the naturally beauty of your baby. You are with your baby throughout the session. I go at your baby’s pace. Pausing for a top up feed or a cuddle from Mum or Dad is totally normal.

Your Personal Viewing and Ordering Session

Seeing your baby’s portraits for the first time is very emotional.  A couple of weeks after your session I will reveal a full set of beautiful images. There’s often tears of joy as the two of you decide which portraits will grace the walls of your home. Your favourites will be professionally printed and framed for you. All ready to hang.

Baby Photography FAQs

Some questions you might ask about baby photographs

 

Why are baby photos important?

Photographing your baby when they are past the very newborn stage is terribly important because your baby will be developing fast and their unique personality will be shining through. This is stage is around 8-weeks to 8-months. It’s a time for 1st smiles, 1st tooth grins, and wobbly attempts to sit up. Don’t miss capturing these beautiful memories.

Should I wait for my baby to sit up, before getting a photoshoot?

Those magical stages, between 6-weeks and sitting-up, give so many opportunities for great baby photos. You don’t have to wait until your baby is sitting unaided. It’s a perfect time for capturing the smiles and love between you, your partner, and your baby. The best time for baby photos is always right now.

How do you pose an older baby for photos?

I won’t pose your baby at any stage. Your wonderful baby is best photographed when they are doing what happens naturally. Think of those adorable photos of your baby kicking their chunky little legs, sucking their toes, or having a snuggle with you. Your baby will be curling squishy fingers around a toy and practicing pushups at tummy time. Each picture is a wonderful memory for you and your family.
