Lisa O Neill Photography

I specialise in portrait photography from my base in Dunfermline, bringing more than two decades of experience and a lifestyle-led approach to every session. Portraits are at the heart of my work — whether I’m capturing the confident presence of a professional headshot, the quiet glow of an expectant mother, or the genuine connection within a family. My aim is always the same: to reveal personality, emotion and authenticity in images that feel timeless. My photography journey began in South Africa with a simple point-and-shoot camera and a love for candid moments. That early fascination with children at play evolved into a broader passion for portraiture — finding the quiet, beautiful details that tell a person’s story. Today I work across Dunfermline, Fife and the surrounds of Edinburgh, creating portraits that balance natural light, thoughtful composition and a warm, relaxed atmosphere. What makes my approach different is the mix of lifestyle sensibility and refined portrait technique. I prefer sessions that feel unforced: we’ll talk before the shoot about what you want to communicate, choose a location that reflects your personality, and then let moments unfold. I guide poses gently, use flattering lighting and composition, and focus on expressions that feel honest rather than staged. For women’s portraiture I particularly love creating images that celebrate strength and grace — bringing out an inner confidence in a respectful, empowering way. I also offer professional portrait services for business profiles and headshots. If you need a LinkedIn photo or a versatile corporate portrait, I can create a clean, professional look that suits your brand while keeping the session friendly and efficient. While portrait is my core specialism, I bring the same attention to detail and care to these business-focused shoots. Working with me is collaborative and calm. Expect a pre-session conversation to plan styling and location, a comfortable shoot where I prioritise authenticity, and careful editing to present your images at their best. Based in Dunfermline, I’m proud to serve local families, expectant parents and professionals across Fife and Edinburgh. If you’re looking for portraits that feel genuine, confident and beautifully composed, I’d love to hear from you.
