Willow Tree Photography Specialising in Newborn, Baby, Maternity Children, Family and Cake Smash photography. Located in Castle Douglas

Mother to this absolute princess Willow who I named my business after, who knows, maybe one day she'll continue it in the future. I am fully set on making this something very special. Something that's affordable for every family and mothers to be as I know having babies can be a pinch on the purse strings but we would all love those great photos of our little ones to treasure forever as it passes

so quickly. I reside in Dumfries and apart from spending every spare second I can squeezing my little one, I enjoy meeting other growing families especially the tiny ones, exploring the great outdoors with Willow and my black Lab. I would love to share these special moments with you capturing everything for you to cherish forever.

I had to share this here because I am genuinely in awe of these two incredible women. ❤️

Both mums, one a grandparent, and both with all the usual hurdles and challenges that life throws at us. But they made the decision to push themselves, step outside their comfort zones, and put themselves first. And honestly, it has completely changed their lives.

Also Gordon Russell what an incredible person you have been to mentor them both through this whole new world. Gordon, you haven't just helped them see a physical change — you've taught them to be kinder to their bodies, kinder to their minds, and to appreciate and respect the journey they're on.

I've been in the fitness industry for several years, and I can honestly say you are in a different class of personal trainer. It's clear that what you do goes so much deeper than just training and nutrition. You help people believe in themselves, recognise their own strength, and become the best version of themselves — inside and out.

I know you'll be incredibly proud of Sue and Sarah today, and rightly so. But I hope you also take a moment to celebrate what you have helped these two amazing women achieve.

Sue and Sarah — you should be unbelievably proud of yourselves. You have shown that it's never too late to challenge yourself, to believe in yourself, and to discover just how strong you really are.

And Gordon — you should be proud too. You've clearly made a huge difference in both of their lives, and that's something truly special.

What a journey. What an achievement. And what an incredible team. ❤️💪✨

Before there was a baby… there was your fur baby. 🐾🤍

The one who came home and made your house feel like a family.

The one you worried about, cared for, celebrated, spoiled, and loved with your whole heart. The one who taught you what it meant to be responsible for another little life — together.

They were there before the nursery was painted.
Before the tiny clothes were folded.
Before you knew the sound of your baby’s heartbeat.

They were your first baby.

And then, one day, everything changes.

A new little person arrives, and suddenly your hearts have somehow found room for a love you never knew existed. But as you hold your newborn close, there is another little set of eyes watching from nearby — the one who was your baby first.

The one who has loved you through every chapter.
The one who has been there for the late nights, the tears, the laughter, the growing family.

And now, they get to meet the tiny human who will grow up knowing them as their best friend. 🥹🤍

There is something incredibly special about including your dog in your newborn session. Because they aren't just a dog.

They're family.
They've been part of your story from the very beginning.

And one day, when your baby is grown, these photographs will tell them something so precious:

You weren't the first baby in this family… but you were always loved by the one who was 🐾🤍👶🏼

This weekend I had the absolute privilege of capturing Megan and Adam's wedding, and I've been struggling to find the words to do it justice.

I've known Megan for just over five years now, and I genuinely feel so lucky that our paths crossed. Over a year ago, she asked if I would photograph her wedding. It's not something I often say yes to because, to me, weddings are so much more than beautiful photos. They're one of the biggest days in someone's life, and I believe you have to truly understand the couple. Their personalities, their style, the little things that make them who they are, and the way they love each other.

From the moment the day began, it felt so completely them. It wasn't about extravagance or following traditions for the sake of it. It was deeply personal, intimate, and full of meaning. Every detail reflected the life they've built together and the people they hold closest.

There were moments that had me laughing until my cheeks hurt, and moments that quietly brought tears to my eyes. By the end of the day, I didn't feel like the photographer standing on the outside looking in—I felt like a guest who had been welcomed into something incredibly special.

Watching two wonderful families come together, not just to celebrate a marriage but to celebrate love in its purest form, was something I'll never forget. The warmth, the kindness, the support, and the overwhelming amount of love in that room was honestly breathtaking.

Megan, thank you for trusting me with such an important chapter of your story. It was an honour I'll always be grateful for, and one I'll carry with me for a very long time.

Congratulations to you both. What a beautiful beginning to the next chapter of your lives.

I have a question.... Do you remember your babies first cake?

I know the people that had cake smashes do and so do the babies years later.

When they return for updates I can ask any of them and they all remember their cake from their cake smash 🤍

Especially when they are this incredible Torta Cakes nailing it everytime

Newborns have a way of making the world slow down. The way they curl up, stretch their little fingers, and snuggle in so perfectly... it's a stage that feels like it lasts forever, until suddenly it doesn't.

I feel so lucky to capture these tiny humans just as they are—perfectly new, perfectly loved, and already someone's whole world.

One day, these photographs won't just remind you what your baby looked like... they'll remind you exactly how this season felt. 🤍

The best time to photograph your newborn is within the first 5–14 days, so if you're expecting, it's never too early to get your session booked.

If a newborn session has been on your mind, I'd love to chat. Send me a message and let's capture these memories before they're gone. 🤍

👑 PRINCESS WANTED FOR A MAGICAL CAKE SMASH! 👑

I have a gorgeous princess cake that deserves to be smashed—not wasted! 🎂✨

Unfortunately, tomorrow's little birthday girl may not be able to make her session, so I'm opening up this incredible opportunity for another little princess who is about to celebrate her 1st birthday.

✨ What's included:
💖 Princess-themed cake smash (beautifully styled but adaptable to other themes!)
🛁 Bubble bath splash session
👨‍👩‍👧 Family portraits
📸 ALL edited digital images
🎂 A stunning handmade cake from TORTA by Creative Cakes

💰 Just £100 – an amazing saving!

📅 Tomorrow
⏰ 11:00am

All you need to do is be available and have a little girl who is turning one (or has recently turned one).

This is a fantastic opportunity to capture those precious first birthday memories at a fraction of the usual price—but once it's gone, it's gone!

Please tag anyone you know with a little princess celebrating her first birthday soon. Let's make sure this beautiful cake gets the smashing it deserves! 👑💕

It was an absolute pleasure photographing the lovely Jemma from Perceptive Psychology. 💙📸

From the moment we met, it was clear how passionate she is about helping others. Jemma has such a calm, caring and approachable nature, and you can really see how dedicated she is to supporting the people who come to her.

Whether you're looking for psychological support for yourself or a loved one, Jemma provides a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental space where people feel heard, understood and supported.

Thank you, Jemma, for trusting me to capture these images. It was a pleasure working with you, and I wish you continued success in the incredible work you do. 💙

If you're looking for support or would like to find out more about what Jemma offers, have a look at Perceptive Psychology:
