Snowy Borders
Posted on January 3, 2010
I managed to get out in the snow today with something other than a camera-phone. What with Christmas and all, there just hasn’t been time. Seems we have had snow here every day for about two weeks and the novelty is starting to wear off. I had to clear more than a foot of the stuff off the roof of my car.
Anyway, I took a spin up to a place nearby called Scott’s View. It was apparently Sir Walter Scott’s favourite view of the Borders countryside and shows the splendid Eildon Hills.

Thanks & Happy New Year
Posted on December 31, 2009
2009 has been a busy year for McBeth Photography and we would like to thank all the people who have helped us grow. Special thanks goes to all the lovely couples who chose us to capture their weddings. It was most definitely my pleasure.
My favourite shot of 2009 isn’t from a wedding; it isn’t even a photograph I was paid to take. It’s this one.
It’s a photograph of the moment my life changed forever, my little darling Esme at about 5 minutes old. So special thanks must also go to my beautiful wife Jess for giving me a daughter and who without her hard work and amazing organisational skills McBeth Photography would not exist.
Happy New Year everyone xxx.

Last Shoot of 2009
Posted on December 31, 2009
Tuesday brought me the last photoshoot of the noughties. It was the engagement shoot of Matteo and Sarah in the wonderful surroundings of Sarah’s family farm in the Borders. It was a bitterly cold day but beautiful with ice and snow all around. Matteo and Sarah are getting married in the summer and I am hoping the weather will be at least a bit warmer that day.

Sunday
Posted on October 20, 2009
Sunday was a busy day with a bridal meeting and a family lifestyle shoot all before lunchtime. Happy to say both went well, Abeda, the lovely bride booked us for her wedding next year and I had a great time in the morning shooting the Baillies in the shadow of the Forth Bridge.
Luke and little brother Sam proved to be excellent models, even if they were more interested in treasure hunting. Sam took a wee tumble and ended up with a bit of a bump on the head but nothing that a cuddle from dad and a spot of photoshopping by me couldn’t sort out.

Happy People
Posted on October 12, 2009
One of the best things about being a lifestyle photographer is that you are mostly with people who are having a good time. Whether it be a wedding, birthday party, reunion or just a family portrait session, the folk involved are usually there because they want to be and are happy.
Today for example I covered a big family party in the evening with a very happy granny having all her kids and grand-kids around her.
In the afternoon I had the pleasure of spending a short while in the company of an adorable little lady and her parents for a quick kiddy shoot. What made it even better was that I got to play on the jungle gym. The little lady in question was Samara, and what an absolute cutie she is.

No rest for the wicked
Posted on October 10, 2009
Had a quiet week in terms of actual shoots but busy dealing with the aftermath of the wedding shows. Appointments Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and so far two of the three have resulted in wedding bookings. I am really hoping the third also works out as its going to be somthing a little new for me and quite exciting.
Got a busy week coming up though with two shoots tomorrow, one on Wednesday and another on Thursday.
This week Jess returns to work. She has been on maternity leave since January and Esme and I are really going to miss her. Its been so great us being able to spend almost every day together since Esme was born. It was really nice this week to be visited by Jess’s aunty and uncle (Esme’s great aunty and uncle).
