Sneaky Peak - Cherubs Photography

Here is a sneaky peak at a couple of Cherub's babies we had the pleasure of photographing yesterday, it was Cooper's first session and Ava's second session, they were both an absolute joy to photograph.





Cherubs Photography is a service we offer in conjunction with the Master Photographers Association (MPA) where we photograph babies at three different sessions over their first year and each baby receives a beautiful triple folio with an image from each session. It cost £50 to register on our Cherubs scheme and the sessions and folios are free. It's a great idea for parents who want to keep track of their baby's first (and often very busy) year with beautiful award winning professional photography.

Cherubs photography is also available as a gift voucher for only £50 which makes a great New Baby or Christening gift.

Dumfries House Wedding

Last year we were delighted to be chosen as Yvonne and Tim's wedding photographers for the first wedding to be held at Dumfries House ,Cumnock, Ayrshire since it reopened in 2007.

What a privilege to photograph a fantastic couple in such beautiful surroundings.

Easter Egg Competition - All the entries!


Well done to all our winners and thank you to all the children who took part. We received over 300 entries! Everyone is welcome to pop into the shop to look at the display.

Easter Egg Competition



After much deliberation and a helping hand from local MP Cathy Jamieson we are pleased to announce the winners of our recent Easter Art Competition. The standard of entries were fabulous, showing that we would appear to have a lot very artistic and creative children in the Mauchline area! There were three categories in total, the younger two age groups were asked to colour in a pre designed egg (drawn by Alasdair and Averil's daughter Abby) and older age group were asked to design their own egg. We knew judging would be difficult so we enlisted the help of Cathy Jamieson MP who herself has a keen interest in art. The final winners were chosen yesterday and we now have a full display of all the "egg" artworks in our shop. All the winners will be contacted soon to arrange the collection of their prizes (before Alasdair gets his hands on all the chocolate eggs!).

We would like to say a very big thank you to all the children who took part, as well as all the staff at Mauchline Primary/Nursery school who helped their pupils to participate. Thanks also to Cathy Jamieson for taking time within her busy schedule to select the final winners.
