Beautiful, natural lifestyle photography taken in some of Edinburgh’s most stunning locations.
I love colour, nature and being outdoors.

I speak English.
Rachel is our handpicked Edinburgh photographer on the Localgrapher network, ready to meet visitors at the city’s most photogenic locations. She works across the Old Town and New Town with a portrait-led approach that suits couples, families, and solo travellers exploring Scotland’s capital.
Rachel is based in Edinburgh and shoots primarily within the city’s compact, walkable centre. The Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle approach, Victoria Street, and Calton Hill anchor most of her sessions, each offering a different read on the city: medieval streets, painted shopfronts, and sweeping rooftop views. Arthur’s Seat and Holyrood Park are on her route for clients who want a session with green hills and open sky just minutes from the historic core. Princes Street Gardens give her a sheltered option when the wind picks up off the Forth. The Edinburgh photo spots resources on Localgrapher cover most of the locations she returns to.
Beyond the city centre, Rachel covers sessions across greater Edinburgh, including Leith Shore, Dean Village, and the Royal Botanic Garden, each offering a distinct backdrop without leaving the city. Leith brings waterside light and a more contemporary feel, Dean Village reads almost rural inside the urban map, and the Botanic Garden offers layered greenery year-round. She is happy to plan multi-stop sessions that pair iconic landmarks with quieter neighbourhoods, which helps travellers fit different looks into a single booking. The Localgrapher Edinburgh photo spots content is a useful reference when choosing how to combine these locations.
Sessions with Rachel are conversational and unrushed, with a focus on natural expressions and the relationship between people and place. She works with couples, families, honeymooners, and solo travellers, and is comfortable adapting the pace to younger children or older relatives. English is her working language. She handles proposal bookings discreetly, taking guidance from the Edinburgh proposal guide for spots that balance romance with privacy, and her general session planning aligns with the Edinburgh photoshoot guide content on weather windows and outfit choices. Travellers weighing options can review the Edinburgh photographer cost guide for current pricing context across the city’s market.
