Hello, my name is Karen Simpson and I am a wedding, portrait and lifestyle photographer in Ayrshire. Feel free to browse my work and if you have any questions or wish to make a booking you can contact me by using the contact page. We booked Karen for our wedding at the Fenwick Hotel in April this year, through recommendation from a friend and we're glad we did.
Professionally, Karen is a great photographer. All of our pictures were amazing, natural. Made us laugh and made me, the nervous bride, feel at ease. Personally, Karen is lovely, warm and friendly with a great personality. She mingled well with all our guests. We also got our wedding album through Karen.

Hi, my name is Karen and I am a self taught photographer based within Ayrshire. I live in Kilmarnock with my son and my husband. I have always had a passion for photography and enjoyed taking photos for family and friends. I was overwhelmed with the positive comments I received on my work and decided to take it up on a more professional level.
Hi I am Karen, I am a self taught photographer who stumbled into weddings a couple of years ago after working with children and families for years. I truly feel that I have found my passion in a place where I never intended heading. I aim for a relaxed, natural approach favouring natural light when photographing your wedding and look to capture the essence of your fabulous day.
Outdoor photography is one of my favourite ways to capture your gorgeous family memories, Most children love to be outdoors and I feel this always helps me capture those natural, happy faces. I use the local parks in Ayrshire but love when you choose somewhere that holds a special meaning to you all as a family.
Cake smashes are a great way to capture your little ones birthday. The price includes the cake, balloons, portrait session, cake smash and tub time (this is always a big hit with the wee ones). These sessions last up to two hours, If you have a particular colour scheme or theme idea just give me a shout and we can put our heads together and see what we can come up with.
I found out I really wasn't suited to 'normal' newborn photography so decided to offer lifestyle photography. I find this is a much more relaxed way to photograph your new edition and your family altogether. I come to your home and shoot in your surroundings where everyone is at ease and able to capture those special moments.

Had booked in for an outdoor shoot with Karen during the lockdown, and obviously this has been rescheduled but found out she was doing shoots from the doorstep for free with a voluntary donation to a neighbourhood charity so we booked in and couldn’t have been more pleased with the results, the friendliest, most professional photographer i have dealt with and I am so excited about the upcoming outdoor shoot when this is all over. Thanks again Karen - 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ no wonder you are so popular!!!

Karen took photographs of my daughter, who was afraid to smile as she had lost some teeth at the time so felt awkward. Karen managed to get her to not only smile but laugh for the pictures and they were fantastic. I struggled to pic my favourites from them. She is a genuinely nice lady and makes everyone feel at ease, which you need to get natural photos.

Positive: Quality
Fantastic school photographs. Much better than the overpriced genetic photos sold by the school. Karen really captured my children's personalities and offered a great value package. She put my children at ease and the pictures are amazing. Karen is a lovely person too, so helpful and accommodating.

Karen did our wedding photos and they were totally amazing. She put us at ease on our special day and took absolutely stunning pictures. I hate getting my picture taken but not with Karen would highly recommend her . She even pointed out to me when I was trying to put my husband's ring on the wrong finger
