If you have followed my blog for awhile, you might know that we love to capture our travel memories with professional photos. There is something so special about bringing home high quality photos with our entire family in them that perfectly captures our time away and our love for our destination (beyond selfies!). We believe that photos truly make the best souvenirs (perfect for minimalists)! We recently took our daughter on her first international adventure to the United Kingdom, and we wanted to capture our family memories through professional photos in Edinburgh, Scotland. We love how our photo shoot photos turned out, and we are so thankful that these family memories are captured in such a special way using Flytographer!

Our Family Photo Shoot in Edinburgh with Flytographer + Save $25 Off Your First Shoot
When we planned our babymoon trip to Paris, we discovered Flytographer, a company that connects travelers with local, professional photographers. We wound up booking a maternity photo shoot with them, and we loved our photo shoot experience in front of the Eiffel Tower (you can read more about our maternity photo shoot experience in Paris here). We had a positive experience and knew that we would use them again in future. Flytographer works with photographers in over 200 cities around the world, so we were excited to book a local photographer in Edinburgh.
Our photographer, Jilli, was amazing with our daughter. Our very active, very strong-willed, one year old loved getting her photos taken with her. Jilli went out of her way to make her laugh (with a lot of games of peek-a-boo from behind the camera), and when our photo shoot was over, our daughter even fussed and begged for more photos.

We chose to do our photo shoot on the Royal Mile, which is a beautiful stretch in Old Town Edinburgh. It begins at Edinburgh Castle, and is filled with gorgeous cathedrals, quaint streets, and gorgeous buildings. We opted for a 30 minute photo shoot (we didn’t think our daughter would be patient enough for a longer photo shoot), and Jilli was able to capture so many photos in so many different locations. We were truly impressed with the variety of our photos! And even though we had walked the Royal Mile several times by this point in our trip, Jilli showed us several new spots that we hadn’t discovered yet. We loved getting a little tour from a local! Jilli provided us with over 40 photos, and we loved them all! We have photos in front of Edinburgh Castle, St. Giles Cathedral, the Scott Monument, and several beautiful, quaint spots (in front of doors, arches, etc.).

Flytographer sounds a good deal…
You are lucky have Jilli. You don’t just have professional photographer but you have had a guide as well.
Your daughter looks like looks happy too… You got a lovely family picture there.
Leah
Thank you! Yes, Jilli was an excellent photographer and tour guide. We enjoyed our time with her!

I can see why truly did enjoy your photoshoot with Flytographer. Flytographer really does capture beautiful photos like yours, plus your cute little one had much good time, too! On me and my husband’s wedding in Hongkong in April, we didn’t hire a professional photographer, atlhough we thought about getting one, insted, my brother and sister in law were the ones who took charge of our wedding photos! Anyway, it’s so nice that you got your photos taken in different locations, they for sure are very skilled in what they do!
Leah
Yes, we love to have nice photos from each major destination that we visit. The memories are priceless! 🙂

It’s a great idea to get a professional photographer shoot the pictures of your babymoon pictures. I have not really thought of it much earlier. I am aware of pre-wedding photography and also wedding photography. Flytographer is a great company offering family photography services.
Leah
Yes, maternity photoshoots are pretty common in the USA, so we were excited to have the opportunity to get them done in Paris. Flytographer truly is a great company! They make the whole process very easy.

I must admit seeing some of these photos make me jealous and I would really want to get mine done with the family as well on my next vacation. There could not be a better way to remember a holiday then a photo-shoot done professionally and memories of a lifetime in a frame and to do the job no one better than Flytographer who have done a brilliant job I must admit. Thanks for sharing this and giving me some new ideas as well so look forward to my own portfolio on the next holiday.
Leah
Thank you! I agree- photos truly are the best way to remember family memories. We are so glad we did it. And yes, Flytographer makes the process so easy!
Martha
Leah, I think it’s so special and charming that you’ve arranged for photoshoots on significant vacations in your lives. I love that your daughter got to participate and even loved the experience. That definitely made your Babymoon successful! I haven’t booked a professional photography experience during my travels, but you’ve convinced me that it’s worth the money!
Leah
Thank you! Yes, we love how they turned out, and the photos are truly priceless. 🙂
Ann
Wow, I too need a Flytographer! Especially good is to take lots of photos of vacations and holidays so to have memories to keep. What a nifty service, I wish I had known about this earlier – I would love to test this out sometime. The photos are just adorable and I love the warm tone they have to them.
