Family Experience
For Local Families
Natural family photography across Perthshire & Scotland
Relaxed, timeless family photography for those wanting to preserve this chapter before it changes. No awkward posing, no pressure—just genuine moments together.
Simply together
More than a family photoshoot
A MEMORY
Childhood changes quietly.
One day you'll carry them, then suddenly you won't.
The missing teeth, muddy boots, tiny hands reaching for yours—these are the moments that become priceless.
This isn't about perfect smiles.
It's about preserving your family's story, exactly as it is today.
Perfect for families who...
✦ Want natural photographs rather than stiff poses.
✦ Haven't updated their family photos in years.
✦ Love spending time outdoors together.
✦ Want memories their children will treasure one day.
✦ Simply want to celebrate this chapter of life.
Is this experience for you?
Whether we're wandering through woodland, exploring The Hermitage or simply enjoying an afternoon together, I'll gently guide you while leaving plenty of space for natural moments to unfold.
✦ Relaxed and unhurried
✦ Natural direction when needed
✦ Perfect for children of all ages
✦ Dogs always welcome
✦ Genuine moments over perfect poses
A family experience designed around you

Some of the most meaningful photographs happen in the in-between moments.
The giggles after a silly joke.
Tiny feet running through the trees.
A cuddle when little legs get tired.
Those are the memories worth holding onto.
Your family story
Hi! I’m Patrice, a Documentary Family & Wedding Photographer covering Scotland and Beyond
One thing my families often tell me afterwards is just how easy everything felt.
No two families are the same, and I never expect them to be. I quickly tune into your family's personalities, pace and energy—whether that means running alongside adventurous little explorers, giving teenagers the freedom to be themselves, or slowing everything down so grandparents can simply enjoy the moment. I match your family's energy, not the other way around.
You won't spend the session worrying about where to stand or what to do with your hands.
Whether you're celebrating a once-in-a-lifetime holiday, returning to Scotland because it feels like home or bringing generations together for a special reunion, I want your gallery to reflect your story, not someone else's idea of the perfect photoshoot.
The result? Photographs that don't just show what Scotland looked like—they remind you exactly how it felt to be there together.

Planning Your Experience
A few helpful answers to the questions I'm asked most often. If you can't find what you're looking for, I'd be delighted to help.
-
Absolutely! While I’m based in Auchterarder, I travel across Scotland, including Stirling, Aberfeldy, Glencoe, and beyond. No location is too far, travel fees may apply
-
This is Scotland! Some of my favourite photographs have been created in soft rain, mist or dramatic skies. If the weather becomes unsuitable, we'll simply adjust our plans together.
-
Once you're booked, I'll send you a guide with simple advice on colours, textures and outfits that photograph beautifully in Scotland's landscapes.
-
Perfect.
They don't need to.
I create experiences rather than asking children to stand and smile. We walk, explore and play, allowing genuine moments to happen naturally.
-
Absolutely.
Some of the most meaningful photographs come from having three generations together.
-
If you're travelling from overseas, I recommend booking as soon as your travel dates are confirmed, especially during spring, summer and autumn.
But I am always upi to scheduling something last minute!
-
Every family is different, so I always recommend locations based on your accommodation, the age of your children and the type of experience you'd love to have.
Some of my favourite places include Gleneagles, The Hermitage in Dunkeld, the peaceful landscapes of Perthshire, beautiful Scottish lochs and private estates. Whether you're looking for woodland walks, dramatic scenery or somewhere your children can simply run and explore, I'll help you choose the perfect location.
