Baby Sapphire & family

Newborn portraits are one of my favourite kind of photo sessions, There is nothing more beautiful than a little squidge of a baby and the feeling of love shared with all the family.

Little Sapphire was very well behaved for her photos. Her parents brought along some props with little teddies and soft toys.

After photos of Sapphire on her own we did some photos with her parents too. I love these snuggled up photos with their little bundle. So cute!

If you are expecting a baby this year and would like some photos, drop me a message!

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

Louise, maternity portraits

Its been a while since I have done a maternity photo session so it was lovely to see Louise and her bump in the studio last week.

Louise brought along little Sophia who entertained us all. She was fantastic for her photos and showed us what a great big sister she was by bringing her baby doll along! I love photos of her peeping out from her Mum and Dad’s legs!

Louise looks stunning, she looked fab even draped in a sheet! I love the classic photos like this just emphasizing her bump.

After photos in the studio we headed outside for a few portraits in the park in Fletchertown, we even managed to find some daffodils too.

I usually do maternity sessions around 36 weeks pregnant. Contact me if you would like to book in a studio or outdoors photo session.

Ewan, newborn portaits

Afternoon! Who is enjoying all this lovely warm weather?! I can’t wait to get outdoors for family portraits.

This blog post is a little throwback to a newborn session I did last year with little Ewan. He was the loveliest, sleepiest baby I have ever photographed, so chilled out!

After a few cute photos in little hats we got some family portraits too. The session took place in the family home where everyone could feel more comfortable. Once baby’s siblings were back home from school we could get photos with siblings too, these are my favourite sort of portraits.

Natural family photos capturing your special relationship with your new little bundle are the best.

Let me know if you would like to book in a newborn photo session.

Callum, Megan & Oliver, Bitts Park family portraits, Carlisle

I love Bitts Park in Carlisle, its lovely all times of year and now that Autumn is here and the leaves are turning its a fantastic location for family portraits.

It was lovely to meet cousins Callum, Megan and Oliver and their families for a joint photo session. We had lots of fun running around, collecting conkers and sticks and finding wild flowers to pose in!

I love the natural family portraits where the kids are running around enjoying the fresh air – the smiles are infectious.

Sophie & Jennifer – Summer family portraits

I often head back to Sheffield (where I used to live) for family photo sessions throughout the year and the first weekend of the Summer Holidays was spent in the Botanical Gardens in Sheffield photographing lots of fantastic families.

Adorable sisters Sophie & Jennifer were so well behaved for their photos – there was lots of running around, cuddling and having fun!

These natural moments are definitely my favourite. Let me know if you would like an outdoor family photo shoot, there is no limit on the age of the children, I have even photographed newborn babies outside too!

Connie, Gina & family, Sheffield family photography

I headed to Sheffield recently (where I used to live) for a weekend of spring themed photo sessions in the beautiful Sheffield Botanical Gardens.

Its one of my favourite places in spring with the magnolia trees in bloom and hundreds of daffodils spread around.

It was a pleasure to see Connie, Gina and their family again, they are fantastic kids, running around tickling each other with feathers.

Bubbles guarantee smiles every time!

Skye, Mammy & Me mini portraits

I love a good Mother’s Day photo session and little Skye was an absolute star for her photos smiling away for us and showing off her rolling skills!

We had some fun with bubbles and then she showed me how she can put her foot into her mouth whilst on her back – excellent yoga skills!

I love the natural photos with the family too, the photos when you are all laughing and having fun are the best.

Happy Mother’s Day!!
