Baby Gracie – newborn portraits

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.

Baby Fraser

It wasn’t too long ago that I was photographing little Fergus as a baby so to meet his new little baby brother Fraser was lovely.

Little Fraser was a superstar for his photos although he didn’t want to sleep and Fergus was so good with his brother kissing him on the head and was very interested in the little baby bed for him!

The family photos are always my favourite as it’s so nice to see everyone cuddled together with their new arrival.

If you are expecting a baby in the Autumn let me know, you can book in for a newborn session around your due date.

Jacob – newborn portraits

Baby Jacob was just one week old when he came into my Wigton studio for his newborn portraits. His parents had come from just up the road in Aspatria.

Jacob was so chilled throughout the photo session, he was awake but happy to just lie on blankets and put up with wearing cute hats!

After photos of just baby on his own we got some photos of him with Mum and Dad too. I love to see how tiny little newborns are compared to their parent’s hands.

Adorable! Contact me to book in a photo session if you are due a new arrival soon!

Baby Carla – newborn photographers Cumbria

Baby Carla was just under two weeks old when she arrived at the studio for her newborn photo session. She brought her family with her including her lovely big sister Julia.

Carla was happy for her photos when we freed her arms from the wrap and she had a nice full tummy,

We took photos of her with her little toys as well. Then it was time for photos with Julia, after a bit of bribery with sweets we managed to get some great photos! Two year olds always know their own minds so its always fun trying to get them to pose!

Lovely family photos to treasure forever, congratulations on your new arrival! xx

Baby Maeve – newborn photographs

I love hearing from families about their new arrivals, Maeve’s parents opted to bring their dog along for the photo session which was a great idea. The photo session took place in my studio space in Fletchertown, Cumbria.

Bournville the dog was so well behaved for his photos and even decided to pose on the blankets after Maeve was changed! So lovely!

Maeve was a pleasure to photograph with lots of sleepy smiles and squishy cheeks. We involved the full family in photos too. Maeve’s parents brought along some teddies too which I love to incorporate into photographs.

Baby Ella, newborn portraits Cumbria

Tiny Baby Ella was just over a week old when we did her newborn photographs in Cumbria. My studio is based near Wigton and ideally situated for people who live in Carlisle and nearby.

Ella came along with her older brother Noah and her family too. Noah was a fantastic big brother, holding her and giving her kisses. These sibling photos are always the cutest to do.

After Ella had a nice big feed she was ready for photos on her own. She looked so adorable in the little hats and headbands, even though she refused to sleep!

After some adorable photos of Ella we then did some photos of all the family together, lots of lovely moments of everyone as a family.

If you are expecting a baby shortly let me know if you would like to book in a baby photo session

Baby Rex

Baby Rex is a little beauty. We had fun at his newborn photo session in my studio in Fletchertown, Cumbria.

His parents brought along a little dinosaur outfit too which we managed to get him to pose in – so cute! It’s always lovely for families to bring along their own props or blankets if they mean something to them, for example a family heirloom.

Rex wasn’t too keen on sleeping for his photos, preferring to stay awake and pull faces at us!

It’s always lovely to see baby’s personality.

After photos of Rex on his own we had time for photos with Mum and Dad too with some lovely photos of his head in their hands and his feet – which were not as tiny as you would think!

Such a lovely cute little family.

If you are expecting a new arrival soon please drop me a message to book in a photo session.

Baby Thomas, newborn portraits

Tiny Thomas was a little superstar for his newborn portraits, I love how newborn babies have the cutest little frowns, like little old men, so wise!

Thomas’ parents brought along a little cuddly elephant for photos as well which I always love to photograph with newborn babies for size comparison, its important to capture just how tiny they are!

As ever though I love the photos with his Mum & Dad cuddling him, these are the cutest little moments and a massive reason why I love newborn photography in Cumbria.

Contact me to book in a photo session if you are expecting a new arrival!

Christmas mini sessions 2023

Well I have now completed all my Christmas mini sessions now and what a year it has been.

It has been so lovely to catch up with families I have photographed before as they are growing and to meet new children too.

We have had fun with snowballs, cuddly toys and my new prop addition, the Elton John glasses!

I also spent two sessions with the lovely kids and parents at the two by two toddler group in Fletchertown as well where we did lots of singing to try and raise the smiles!

It is all worth it and a great idea to give to family as Christmas presents.

If you are looking for some up to date photos of your family drop me a message, I will be running some winter studio mini dates in Jan/Feb.

Happy Christmas to you all!

Baby Lottie

Newborn photo sessions in Cumbria are fantastic to do. I especially love it when parents bring in their baby’s siblings too. Its so much fun bringing in siblings for photos, if they are old enough they can hold baby or they can lie next to them.

I have my ways of getting siblings to oblige – they may involve marshmallow bribes! Baby Lottie was adorable and her big sister was so good for photos with her too.

Love when her sister cuddles her close in the basket. Its worth getting photos of parents with baby too, these are such cute photos.

Lottie’s parents brought some props in as well including some lovely letters spelling her name. Adorable. I always incorporate props if you want to bring them along.

Newborn photo sessions are usually best done within the first two weeks of baby arriving. However, they can be done up to a few months old.

Contact me if you would like to book in a newborn photo session
