Effie & Jenson – Mother’s Day minis

I have known this lovely family for a while, photographing Jenson outside in Dodd Wood when he was younger so it was lovely to meet their new addition Effie last year.

Hayley took advantage of our Mother’s Day mini photo sessions offer to get some up to date photos of the family together.

Despite Effie not being keen on having her photo taken we managed to capture some elusive smiles from her which we were so pleased with – there was a lot of singing that went into this!

Effie also loved reading a book with Mum too. I love these cuddled up photos of the family together, a great way of capturing special moments for Mother’s Day!

Baby Luca

It was lovely to see Luca after I had photographed his Mum’s maternity portraits in Keswick. Iona looked amazing in her lakeside portraits.

Little Luca was absolutely adorable for his newborn portraits, he wasn’t too keen on sleeping but preferred to have plenty of milk!

Luca’s family brought along some personal teddies which was great to include in the photos too.

After we had tried lots of great hats on Luca it was time for some family photographs too. Snuggled into Mum and Dad he was at his most content.

I love to photograph newborn babies in Cumbria, its always lovely to capture these after maternity photographs too.

Eadie, newborn baby portraits

I had the pleasure of meeting little Eadie on Sunday in my studio near Wigton. Eadie was just two weeks old and such a cute little dot, she brought along her big brother and family too.

Eadie’s Mum brought in lots of lovely outfits and blankets/teddies for photo props. I love to incorporate heirloom blankets or handmade knitted items and teddies as this makes the photos so lovely and personal.

Unfortunately Eadie wasn’t too keen on sleeping, she would much rather be feeding! But that’s ok as my well renowned patience allowed me to capture some sleepy moments in between feeding. Please don’t worry if your baby does not sleep, we can still get plenty of lovely photos.

Big Brother Ethan was the best at posing, cuddling his little sister and being generally awesome! We also had time for family photos too.

My little studio space is cosy with lots of hot drinks and biscuits available to keep you going while your little ones are posing!

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 Aidan – newborn portraits in Cockermouth

In addition to studio newborn photo sessions I also do at home photo sessions too. This was a gift from a group of work ladies for a newborn photo session in their home in Cockermouth.

Baby Aidan was just a few weeks old and such a cutie, we had fun dressing him in the animal hats and posing him with lots of cuddly toys including a giraffe!

As the session was at home we could do photographs in his nursery and cuddled up on the sofa with his doggy friend too.

At home newborn sessions can be booked in around your due date, contact me for more details.

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

Baby Harriet

Newborn photography is one of my favourites and it was particularly lovely to photograph Harriet as it wasn’t that long since I had done maternity portraits for her Mum!

My newborn portraits are based in my studio space in Fletchertown, not far from Wigton and Aspatria and a stone’s throw from the main road its perfect.

Harriet is so cute, her parents brought along some outfits and cute teddies to use for the photos. It was great to photograph her in the vest we used for the maternity portraits.

Harriet slept like a dream until we took the nappy off then it was a poo-nami! Bless her! We got some lovely photos of her with her parents too. These are always my favourite, just the three of you cuddled together with baby. Its such a special time and I feel so privileged to capture these memories.

If you are due this year drop me a message to book in a photo session around your due date xx

Baby Ayda

Ayda’s newborn photo session in my pop up studio near Wigton in Cumbria was lovely.

Her big brother and Mum got in on the photos too. Love how cute her brother was cuddling her.

Ayda looked adorable in our headbands and even looked like she was smiling too!

Such a little cutie, its always worth doing portraits with babies even if they are a little older, newborn photo sessions can be done up to six weeks old.

Baby Oscar, newborn photography

I love a newborn photo session and little Oscar is so tiny at just a week old. He was a little angel for his photographs in the studio at Fletchertown.

With the festive season coming up it was nice to get out my little Santa hats for photos!

After photos of just baby on his own it was time for photos with his Mum and Dad. These are always worth doing and I love to see the connection between parents and baby, its what makes newborn portraits so magical.

If you are expecting a baby in the new year let me know and we can book in a session around your due date x
