A family photoshoot while climbing Arthur's Seat is a splendid way to capture your cherished moments against Edinburgh's natural beauty. This iconic hill offers panoramic vistas and a memorable adventure your family will treasure forever. This guide walks you through what to expect during a family photoshoot on Arthur's Seat, how long the experience might take, and valuable tips to help you prepare for this unforgettable journey.
Preparing for the Adventure
Arthur's Seat, an ancient volcano, boasts a variety of trails suitable for different fitness levels. The hike to the summit usually takes around 30 to 60 minutes, allowing you to experience the thrill of exploration before we start capturing your family's joyous moments.
What to Expect During the Photoshoot
Your family photo shoot at the top of Arthur's Seat promises stunning natural scenery and real family interaction. Here's what you can expect:
- Breath-Taking Backdrops: As you ascend the hill, you'll be treated to breathtaking panoramas of Edinburgh's cityscape, the surrounding hills, and the glistening sea. These diverse backdrops offer ample opportunities for creative and captivating photographs.
- Golden Hour Magic: The ideal times for your photoshoot are during the "golden hours" – shortly after sunrise or before sunset. The soft, warm light during these times bathes your family and the landscape in a captivating glow, making for truly enchanting photographs.
- Candid and Posed Moments: I will capture candid, spontaneous interactions and posed shots that showcase your family's unique dynamics against the natural splendour.
- Weather Watch: Be prepared for Scotland's variable weather. Clouds, mist, or even light rain can add a dreamy quality to your photos. Bring along weather-appropriate clothing to ensure everyone's comfort.
How Long Will Your Arthur’s Seat Photoshoot Take?
The duration of your family photoshoot on Arthur’s Seat can vary depending on the trail you choose, how many photos you’d like, and the size of your family. Typically, capturing all your beautiful moments takes about two hours from the start of the hike. This gives us plenty of time to enjoy the climb and set up different shots with stunning backdrops.
I love capturing those natural, in-between moments and the incredible views around us. If you’re interested in this session, please book the Memory Collection.
If you think your family might need more time than two hours, there’s no need to worry. We can always add extra time for £100 per additional hour to make sure we capture everything at your own pace.
Preparing for Your Family Photoshoot
To ensure your family photo shoot at the top of Arthur's Seat is a resounding success, consider the following basic preparation steps:
- Coordinate outfits: Choose outfits that reflect your family's style, yet go well together. Earth tones and comfortable clothing that matches the environment are recommended.
- Time matters: check sunrise and sunset times to choose the best lighting for your photo shoot. Try to start your hike about an hour before the golden hour starts.
- Your photoshoot - your way: Tell me your vision, preferences, and any specific shots you have in mind. This ensures a shared understanding and helps me capture the moments you want.
- Pack Essentials: Bring water, snacks, sunscreen, hats, and any weather essentials. Comfortable trekking shoes are essential when climbing.
- Stay flexible: While planning is essential, be open to spontaneity. The moment's magic often manifests itself in unplanned interactions and candid shots.

Among breathtaking landscapes, authentic family ties and the charm of nature, you will create a collection of photographs that embody the essence of your loved ones and the magic of the outdoors.
