Anna Moffat Photography bio picture
  • Welcome!

    I am an Edinburgh based photographer specialising in newborns, babies and children. I have always had an interest in photography but my passion really started growing after becoming a mother. I have two beautiful boys and there is nothing I love more than taking a photo which really captures their personalities. All parents are acutely aware of how quickly their wee ones change and I absolutely love taking photos for my clients which I hope will be looked back on for years to come.

    If you would like to have a chat about arranging a photo shoot either in my home studio or in your own home then please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Edinburgh Newborn Photography: Frankie

I absolutely loved taking photos of this handsome, smiley wee guy yesterday. He was with his lovely, relaxed mum and auntie who were an absolute pleasure to have over to my house in Portobello, Edinburgh. As newborn photography sessions go this one was perfect – Frankie gave me lots of lovely smiles and then had a lovely snooze letting me get some gorgeous sleepy shots.

Photo Friday: Body of Water

This week’s Photo Friday is themed ‘Body of Water’. I am so lucky to live by the sea in Portobello. -the beach is an amazing location for family photography in Edinburgh. I love photographing kids when they are free to have fun in an outdoor location and Portobello Beach is perfect.

Here are some more examples of my family photography in Edinburgh.

Sonja - Looks like the kids had some warm weather (warm enough for short sleeves anyway!) to enjoy the beach that day too!

Babes in the Botanics: Babies and Toddlers in the Royal Botanical Gardens, Edinburgh

Here a few photos from a recent visit to the Royal Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh. I absolutely love having a wander around the Botanics, there is so much to look at and they make a great backdrop for photographing children. The kids were so happy being outdoors and exploring nature. Bring on the sunshine!

Edinburgh Baby Photography: Sylvan

Yesterday’s photo shoot with 4 month old Sylvan was an absolute pleasure. As you can see she is utterly beautiful and she was a joy to photograph.

Mhairi and Ben, it was lovely to meet you and your gorgeous baby daughter, I hope you like the photos!

This baby photography session took place on the Water of Leith in Edinburgh and then in the family’s home.

Photo Friday: Travelling

This week’s Photo Friday theme is ‘travelling’ so I thought I would share this photo from a driving trip to Europe I took with my family when our son Euan was just 6 months old. My husband Arran was dipping Euan’s toes into Lake Orta in Italy. We are going back to Italy this summer, I can’t wait!

Raindrops

I absolutely love taking photos of babies and children but I also enjoy trying something a bit different. I had loads of fun photographing raindrops in my mum’s garden this weekend. I love the detail that’s possible with a macro lens – it’s better than my eyesight!
