All About Blue Sky Photography

Brilliant photography by nice people – since 2003

Blue Sky Photography: brilliant photography by nice people

You’ve discovered Blue Sky Photography. An independent, family run, Edinburgh photography studio.
Small and local lets us put you at the heart of everything we do.

Truth be told, you’ve been our focus since day one.

Blue Sky Photography has been trusted by families, brides and grooms and companies (high-street and independent) to bring photography to life since 2003.

A grey decorative fireplace filled with painted wooden logs sits below three framed photos of a young child with light brown hair, set against a white wall, evoking the airy charm of blue sky photography.

We’ve always provided more than just brilliant photography. We want to provide a brilliant photography experience too with honest pricing.  You’ll be welcomed like family to our studio with warmth, heart and great coffee.

That’s how our story started – and how we continue to do things today.

One team; many strengths

The Blue Sky team will look after you like family. We’ve taken time to make sure our studio space is somewhere you feel completely relaxed and at home. We want your first visit to be one of many. And we promise to look after you and your family

Perhaps that’s why we’ve been honoured over the years with a fair few awards for the quality of our photography (and exceptional levels of service).

We’d love to get to know you. If the feeling is mutual (or you’re just a little bit curious) have a peek at what makes us tick.

When you’re ready, drop us a message, share your photography ideas and we’ll crack open the biscuits…

Meet Niels

Niels Calvert – Photographer

If you happen to hang out with Niels, you’ll gain something of his enthusiasm for life. It’s kind of infectious. He’s the real livewire in the team; always bursting with another new idea and cooking up a plan… usually before the last one has settled!

If he’s not shooting for his band of commercial clients or photographing cracking brides and grooms, you’ll most likely find him in a coffee shop, pushing himself further and faster on a running circuit or in another gym class. Oh that is when he’s not tracking down Alie’s keys or jackets she loses at alarming rates!

Meet Alie

Alie Calvert – photographer

Called Little Miss Bossy as a child, Alie’s remained true to her roots at Blue Sky!

Her actual title is Studio Manager and Photographer but she also wears the crown of being Niels’ wife, mother, ace runner, custard loving queen (and she also is a mighty fine photographer of weddings and babies too).
We love Alie for her amazing warmth, ability to whisper (almost!) every baby to sleep and unrivalled brilliance with lists.

Meet Bianca

Bianca Gruber – editing guru!

This lady makes a mean mocha cake and also adds an amazing final polish to all our images.  Attention to detail and care are the watchwords of Bianca and we love her for it.
She is blessed with patience of many angels and she manages multiple lists, tasks and the demands of two photographers with swan like ease!

Bianca is the calm to our creative energy and is the editing queen every studio needs (but only Blue Sky is honoured to have!)

Meet Lottie

Lottie – the studio pooch

A dog who actually loves the postman. Lottie is technically a Working Cocker Spaniel, but no one’s quite sure how much actual work she gets done.

But when it comes to gentlest and intuition, this little dog has it in spade-loads.

Her bed is tucked away safely in the office, but if you’d like to say hello then she’d be delighted (and you’ll have gained a new friend for life)
