Portraits by HelenSarah was around the 34 week mark when she came into the studio for her maternity photo session. She looks amazing.
She brought along a few outfits but also borrowed some of my maternity gowns, I love the boho design gown, it looks stunning, the perfect way to show off your baby bump.
Feel free to bring along props to your maternity session and now the weather is picking up we can do some photos outdoors too – the spring flowers are popping up everywhere!
I met baby Beau’s brother a few year’s ago at my pop up Christmas mini sessions I run every year with Two by Two toddler group in Fletchertown so it was lovely to meet George’s new baby brother for a photo session.
George was a great little poser, although plenty of bribery and games were needed to get those poses! Baby Beau was lovely and chilled out, not too keen to sleep but such a little cutie, love squishy baby cheeks!
The family had brought along some cuddly toys including some that have been crocheted by a friend – such great quality! I always love to compare babies to cuddly toys in terms of size!
After photos of baby on his own it was time for photos with Mum and Dad too, these are my favoruite kind of photos where your little one is cuddled up to you and you are all cosy in your own little bubble.
If you are expecting a new arrival soon drop me a message to book in a newborn photo session, these usually take place in my studio in Fletchertown, however, I can also do at home lifestyle newborn photos in Cumbria too.

I usually do maternity portraits in Cumbria around 34-36 weeks, however, it’s always possible to do photos when you are a little earlier on in your pregnancy.
Sara had a lovely little bump and brought some pretty outfits in for her maternity photo session. She also looks lovely in my boho gown which is so perfect for baby bump sessions.
If you are expecting a new arrival this year why not book in a maternity photo session, these can be done in my studio or on location in the Lakes.

Its always lovely to see the same families coming back to see me, last time I saw Harry & Laura was outside in Fletchertown fields before COVID hit.
It was lovely to see how much they have grown and to witness Harry’s football skills in action!
Laura was the expert in all things posing too, we managed to get some lovely sibling photos for a gift for family.
Always the perfect gift for a family member, my mini session days are great for grabbing up to date photos of the family.
Contact me to hear the latest news on family portrait mini sessions in the studio and outdoors!
It was lovely to hear from Chelsea the other week to let me know she had welcomed another baby into her family. I last photographed Chelsea’s newborn baby in lockdown when she had little Lacey.
We did those portraits outdoors due to the COVID restrictions so it was lovely to see the family again 4 years later for baby Gracie’s newborn photos.
With 5 siblings Gracie will never be short of someone to give a cuddle or play with so we had fun with each sibling taking it in turns to hold her for photos.
Little Gracie was really good for her photos – love her little fuzzy hair – we had fun picking out little headbands and hats for her to wear as well.
After photos of Gracie on her own there was then time for photos with proud Mum and Dad where Gracie looked so cute draped over Dad’s arm flat out sleeping!
I love to welcome families back to the studio and to see a family growing. If you are expecting a new arrival this year drop me a message to book in a newborn photo session.
Julie came to visit me in my studio in Fletchertown just before Christmas. It was therefore a great idea to wear a Christmas jumper!
Love Julie and her husband’s disney jumpers, so cute! Julie had brought along a couple of dresses to wear for the photo session too, as well as using some of my maternity gowns in my collection.
I love to incorporate props into maternity sessions like scan photos and baby booties. It’s always lovely to see baby in these props afterwards.
My studio is next to some pretty grounds for photos too so it’s always possible to do some outdoor portraits as well as inside too – especially in the winter!
If you are expecting a new arrival soon the best time to book in for maternity photos is around 34-36 weeks gestation. Drop me a message to capture your bumps!
I love to see little ones celebrating their birthday. If you didn’t fancy doing a cake smash then why not just book in for a mini photo session.
I provide balloons and my little teepee for the photo session.
Little Eliza really enjoyed the balloons, she even tried to eat them! She had lots of fun hiding in the teepee and peeping around at us.
After we had fun in the teepee Eliza’s doggy friends joined us for some photos too, there were many treats involved in getting these photos!
Such a lovely happy little girl, it was a pleasure to photograph!
Contact me if your little one is about to celebrate a birthday and you would like to capture these moments xx
Little Sienna was born just before Christmas and it was lovely to see her joined by her big brother too.
I do love newborn and sibling portraits, always fun to do when they lie down together and snuggle up.
Sienna looked so cute in a little wrap and hairband, she wasn’t too keen on being asleep but after more milk and cuddles she finally fell asleep!
Parents portraits as well as siblings too are so special, even if you do not feel confident in front of the camera it’s worth doing so you have these memories to look back on!
If you are expecting a baby this year drop me a message to book in a newborn session.
I photographed Zoe’s Mum when she was pregnant with Zoe on location in Keswick so it was lovely to see her again now she is 1!
We did her cake smash/birthday photos on her actual 1st Birthday. Once Zoe was used to the camera and all the balloons we had some fun playing peekaboo and having a little party with all her stuffed animals – love how cute this was!
Zoe wanted Mum and Dad to wear a hat too, she wasn’t too keen on her birthday hat!
After some fun photos with the balloons it was time to bring out the cake. All my cake smash cakes are handmade by Delicious Doughnuts and Delights based in Aspatria. Her cakes are stunning and I’m always jealous of cake smashes!
Zoe wasn’t too keen to get stuck in straight away, preferring to pick off the sugar flowers and eat them. She did like sticking her feet in the icing and enjoyed smashing the cake with the wooden spoon!
After the cake was smashed we did a few photos in the bathtub to get cleaned up.
If your little one is about to turn 1 contact me to book in a cake smash, its such a fun thing to do and we can theme it for you as well.

Little Jude was just a few days old when he came to the studio for his photo session. Born on Christmas day!
The whole family came including his three older siblings who were amazing for their photos (some bribery was needed!) I always photograph siblings first so they don’t get bored waiting for their turn!
Jude wasn’t keen to sleep but we still managed to get lots of lovely portraits of him and the family together.
Love his cute little face all bundled up in a wrap.
My newborn sessions take a couple of hours to complete, working around baby’s needs to plenty of time for milk breaks!
If you are expecting a baby this year and would like to book in let me know, I usually pencil in a date a week after your due date.
