Baby Beau – newborn portraits

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.

Eliza – First Birthday

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

Sienna – newborn portraits

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.

Zoe – cake smash

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.

Alex – maternity portraits

Alex and her partner came into the studio for some portraits before their little one arrived.

I usually do maternity sessions around 36 weeks when you have a big bump but not too late that you are about to go into labour!

Alex brought some outfits with her for photos as well as using some of my maternity gowns. As the weather was nice too we managed to head outside for some photos too.

Its always lovely to do photos outside, especially when the scenery near the studio is so lovely.

Fletchertown where my studio is based is situated just off the A595 near Wigton & Aspatria. The ideal location for photos. Maternity portraits are lovely and a great way of celebrating your pregnancy.

Alex and Tim came back when their baby was born too – I have special offers for photo sessions when you book maternity and newborn portraits together, drop me a message for more information

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.
