Archie & Olivia – Keswick portraits

I love to photograph families outside as not only do we live in an amazing area for photographs but also kids much prefer running around in nature!

In Keswick there is a lovely area called Hope Park near the lake. In the middle of the park is a fab patch of daffodils, perfect for springtime portraits. There are also several blossom trees in the park too.

Archie and Olivia had fun holding daffodils and running around. We also played some hide and seek which is always good for fun photos.

I will be back in Keswick photographing families in April, let me know if you would like more details

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

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!

Allonby family portraits

Did you know that Cumbria/the Lake District has an amazing coastline as well as all those lovely lakes?! We live between the main Lakes and the coast so we often visit Allonby for the beach there.

Its a lovely quiet place with fantastic pebbly beaches and the best ice cream shop!

I met this extended family during spring/summer for some up to date family photographs as a gift for the grandparents. I love to do this as I know how important it is for grandparents to see their family altogether.

Despite the breeziness of the beach (its not known for being hot!) we managed some fun photos of the kids running around the beach and practising their jumping skills before people got wrapped up in blankets and headed off for hot chocolate!

If you would love to book a beach photo session in Cumbria let me know – Allonby, Silloth and St Bees are all fab beaches!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!
