Family Photo Shoot Elie

---

Elie

Elie is one of the many beautiful towns which make up the stunning East Neuk of Fife.

Elie has lots of lovely walks including the Elie chain walk to the west and this walk to the east.

It’s also worth a visit on a nice day as the beach is gloriously big and sandy and there are some lovely pubs too.

Dusk Light

Scott and Jaimie moved from Canada to Kirkcaldy when Scott got a contract with the Fife Flyers Ice Hockey team.

This was the second family photo shoot I’d done with them and for both shoots they wanted a photo shoot to capture the beautiful Scottish landscape.

It was the first time I’ve done a family shoot at dusk but it was really nice to capture the photos as the night started to draw in and they cosied in together.

Max

This was my second shoot with Max and we enjoyed messing around and he thought it was great fun playing silly games with me.

Jaimie’s Words

It turns out Max just thought I was his friend which was a lovely thing to hear :-)

“We can’t say enough good things about Ali. Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she is also a wonderful person who makes you feel at ease while having your photos taken. She takes the experience of having your photos taken and turns it into an adventure. Our children loved her, our three year old actually asked why she wasn’t in the photos with us We absolutely love our photos and will always cherish them.” - Jaimie Aarssen

The Tower

The path we took was from the east side of Elie.

We walked along the path to explore the little tower called ‘Lady Janet Anstruther's Tower’.

The tower was bulit in the 1770’s as a changing room for Lady Anstruther.

She would use the tower for for her sea swims. It’s basically an ancient beach hut!

Kid Fun & Cuddles

As we explored the tower Jaimie and Scott hugged and played with Gracie and Max.

The tower also made a great for pirate ship lookout.

As the night drew in, Gracie cuddled into her mum and Max carried on exploring the lighthouse and rockpools.

This was a beautiful shoot and one I hope they will treasure as the kids grow up.

Newborn Photo Shoot with Sunshine Yoga

---

When a new baby arrives your life is suddenly turned upside down and you are bound to your babies every need. It’s a beautiful time to get a shoot so it can be documented and remembered, as moment by moment your baby changes.

When I arrived for Jasmina’s shoot, she was needing a little clean, so I captured her having a little bath. Matt delicately washed Jasmina as she kicked so happily in the water.

I spent an hour or so with Stephanie, Matt, Jasmina and her grannies and observed all their little interactions and activities.

At home shoots are great. You don’t have the stress of getting everything ready and getting out the door and you capture your baby’s first home, their nursery and their first toys. When you look back in years to come, you’ll see their favourite toy all fluffy and new before the years of love wear it down to a fabulously floppy, loved looking rag.

Stephanie is from the Netherlands so I was offered a lovely beschuit. Giving a beschuit is a tradition in the Netherlands to celebrate the birth of a child. They are sprinkled with pink and white muisjes when a girl is born, and with blue and white muisjes when a boy is born. Muisjes are seeds from the anise plant which are covered in a sugary coating.

“The pictures are absolutely beautiful and we feel so blessed that her 7 day birthday got captured in such a wonderful way.”
