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!

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 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.

Naomi & James – Keswick family photographs

Spring was in the air in Keswick for Naomi & James and family. I love doing outdoor family photo sessions in the Lake District and Hope Park in Keswick is an ideal location, close to the lake and also has lovely floral displays and hot chocolate available to buy nearby!

We had a blanket with us as well for photos of the kids lying down and had a wander up to the lake for photos with those spectacular views too.

I will be doing some springtime portraits in the Lakes so if you would be interested drop me a message.

Chenery family – Keswick family portraits

One of the most fun parts of my job is photographing families in the Lake District. Families coming on holiday to the Lakes would love to capture these memories, especially if extended family are coming too.

The Chenery family were on holiday in Windermere and I met them in nearby Keswick for some family photos. The area near the lake by Hope Park is always pretty with great views and access to the lakeside.

We had fun jumping and running around the hills before heading onto the jetties next to the water, finishing off with a trip up to Friar’s Crag for those spectacular views.

We had fun with tree branches, running and hiding too, always great for getting the kids smiling.

The photos were taken in December, outdoor portraits are possible all year round, depending on the weather!

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!

Daisy – newborn portraits

I met Jasmine when she was around 36 weeks pregnant so it was a pleasure to capture her new arrival; Daisy when she was a few weeks old.

Daisy was a little star for her photos as soon as she was wrapped up and cosy. We found lots of cute hats and headbands for her to wear!

Her big sister was a superstar too, posing for her photos and holding Daisy, such a cute little bond.

I love the photos of baby Daisy with Mum and Dad too, at one point we even thought Daisy was eating Dad’s nose!

Such a cute little family, a pleasure to capture this moment in your lives!

Are you due a baby in 2024? Contact me to book in a date around your due date if you would like me to capture your new arrival!

Willow & Eva – Lingholm portraits, Keswick

I first met Willow and Eva in Sheffield for a photo session there in the bluebells so it was lovely to be asked to capture their family holiday at Lingholm Estate in Keswick.

Lingholm gardens are a fantastic place and guests have access to the jetty too. It was a shame it was typical Cumbrian weather for their photo session but that didn’t dampen the girls enthusiasm!

There was jumping, running and posing galore and then time to warm up afterwards with a hot chocolate!

Capturing families on holiday in the Lake District is something I really enjoy and its a great way to capture memories for your family.

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

Autumnal portraits in Lake District

I have had a great Autumn in the Lakes. Despite the epic amounts of rainfall for October we managed to do some photo sessions in Dodd Wood & Great Wood.

Dodd is lovely and has lots of great little spots for collecting leaves and throwing them. It helps that afterwards there is a cafe for warming up!

Families enjoyed jumping, running and hiding whilst having lots of leaf fights. Then I also managed to get to Great Wood next to Derwentwater for photo sessions too. Despite the temperature the kids were all very tempted to go for a swim in the lake!

I love to take natural photos of families, kids smile much more when they are having fun and of course the opportunity to run around is always so much fun!

I’ll be continuing to photograph outside in the Lakes, drop me a message if you would like to book in a photo session for your family.
