HI, I’M CATRIONA

I’ve been photographing people since childhood, always fascinated by connection and our place within the natural world.

18 years Living in the Cairngorms National Park

surrounded by heather-covered mountains, ancient Caledonian pine forests and wide Highland skies. This place has shaped how I see. It has made me attentive to subtle light, natural tones and the quiet moments in between. I love to share the beauty of this place with others.

10 YEARS IN BUSINESS

Living and working in Cairngorms National Park, I bring strong local knowledge of the Cairngorms and the Scottish Highlands. From planning and location guidance to calm reassurance on the day, I’m here to support you. I want you to relax and enjoy the outdoors. and fully experience your time in this special place.

Photography That Lets You Feel Present

Clients often say my calm, sensitive approach helps them relax. It makes the experience feel less like a photoshoot. It feels more like having a trusted friend alongside them. With space to slow down and enjoy the Cairngorms landscape together. These moments create photographs that reflect genuine connection. They capture how the day truly felt.

With deep local knowledge of the Cairngorms, I gently guide you to places and moments that feel natural and unhurried. An artistic eye for Highland light, tones, and rhythm creates photographs that capture the experience of being there together.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The shoulder months — Spring and Autumn — often hold the most magical light, with softer tones and quieter landscapes in the Cairngorms. This is an ideal time to avoid the crowds.
That said, Winter can be equally special for those drawn to stillness — evergreen forests and crisp air.

Getting to know you before our session is key to helping alleviate any concerns around this. I make sure I know your concerns before, with a questionnaire and a guidance call. When it comes to the photography my approach is sensitive, creating a relaxed space where you can simply be yourselves. I’ll guide you when needed, step back when it helps, and focus on making the experience feel natural rather than performative.
