Autumn portraits in Derwentwater

I love Autumn for portraits – the colours on the trees, the leaves to throw and plenty of opportunities to wear your best bobble hat! The woods surrounding Derwentwater are amazing this time of year – we had great fun throwing leaves with families and even Paddy the dog enjoyed leaf throwing too. Love this…

Rowan & Jessie – Mirehouse gardens family portraits

Autumn mornings are my favourite when the sun is low in the sky and the colours on the trees are stunning. I am lucky to live close to Dodd Wood and Mirehouse gardens opposite are just amazing. The perfect place for a family portrait photo session. Jessie and Rowan were kept entertained with collecting interesting…

Full marks to Charlotte’s other half who organised a surprise visit to Windermere and a surprise photo shoot for her in her last few weeks of pregnancy. Windermere is a special place for both of them. Charlotte looks so…

Georgina, Wigton newborn photographs

Tiny squishy newborn portraits are my favourite. Georgina was tiny at just under two weeks old and was as good as gold for her photos – she even pulled out a few smiles for us! As much as I love photos of baby on their own in cute hats and blankets my favourite images are…

Beatrix – Buttermere newborn family portraits

It was lovely to see the fantastic Fowler family again. This time we met in Buttermere in the heart of the Lake District where I met the new addition to the family – little Beatrix. The three sisters look so cute together and we even managed to get Wally the dog in some photos too!…
