Behind the Lens
Carroll Studios was created from a love of photography, creativity and making something people genuinely value.
​
We’re a small family business, which means there’s no big team or production line behind the scenes. From welcoming you into the studio and taking your photographs to editing your images and creating your finished artwork, we put a huge amount of care into what leaves our studio.
​
Our approach is simple: we want you to enjoy the experience. We’ll guide you when you need us, embrace the unpredictable bits and never worry when things don’t go exactly to plan — because quite often, those are the moments that make the best photographs.
​
We’re just getting started in East Kilbride, and we’re incredibly excited to see where Carroll Studios goes from here.
Sean Carroll
CO-FOUNDER & LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER
With over 12 years behind the camera, Sean is the face behind the lens at Carroll Studios. Dad of two (with number three currently loading...), he’s well practised in toddler negotiations, terrible jokes and embracing a bit of chaos to get the shot.
Jacqui Philip
CO-FOUNDER & CREATIVE
Rachael’s sister, Iris Art enthusiast and the one we have to thank for Carroll Studios existing in the first place. Jacqui is the creative hands behind our jewellery and has a knack for all things tiny, intricate and slightly fiddly.
Rachael Carroll
SOCIAL MEDIA & brand
Sean’s wife, social media whizz and — depending on who you ask — the person actually in charge. Rachael keeps Carroll Studios looking good online, keeps Sean organised offline and generally makes sure everything is where it needs to be.
Colin Philip
creative SUPPORT & RESIDENT handyman
Jacqui’s husband, our unofficial social trend advisor and the man we find whenever something needs built, fixed, moved or figured out. His actual job description remains under review.
Small Business. Big Heart.
We’re a small, family-run studio where every client genuinely matters. We want to know your family, welcome you back and be there for the moments still to come.
More Than Photography
From photographs full of personality to completely unique Iris Art, we create things that are personal to you — made to be displayed, shared and kept.
Why Carroll Studios?
Relaxed by Nature
Babies don’t always sleep, toddlers don’t sit still and weddings don’t always run to plan. That’s okay. We’ll guide you when needed, go with the flow and keep things fun and pressure-free.
Professional, Always
Our approach might be relaxed, but our standards aren’t. Everything we photograph, edit and create is handled with professional care and attention to detail.
