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.

Freddie – cake smash

Its always great to see babies again after their newborn portraits and celebrate their first birthday and what better way to celebrate than with cake!

Freddie arrived at the studio raring to go, we had lots of fun first with balloons and blocks and playing peekaboo and wind the bobbin up, he has the most adorable smile!

After having some fun first we then presented him with a fab cake (provided by Delicious Doughnuts and delights). Freddie was gentle with the cake at first, prodding the cream but soon with the addition of a spoon he decided to use this to help him smash the cake, even putting his feet in it!

When he had enough of the cake we cleaned up and popped him in a bath where we had fun blowing bubbles!

I do love a cake smash, its such a fun way to celebrate your first birthday!

Harper & Ezra, Keswick family photos

If you are on holiday in the Lakes what better way to capture those memories than with a family photo session.

We headed to Keswick by the lake side for a family photo session with Harper and Ezra and family. Ezra wasn’t too keen on the camera until we headed to the lake for stone throwing!

Derwentwater has lots of geese and ducks by the water’s edge and they are usually always hungry so getting some bird food was a good idea although a cheeky goose stole poor Harper’s bag of food!

We also headed onto the jetty for photos too. Lovely happy memories. Natural family photos of everyone having fun are my favourite.

Contact me if you are planning a family holiday to the Lake District and would like some up to date photos!

Forster family, Longlands Lake

I have done many photograph sessions with the lovely Forster family from Katie’s newborn shoot to Christmas portraits in matching jumpers.

It was lovely to see them again and this time with all their dogs for some photos at Longlands Lake in Cleator Moor.

We had fun wandering around the lake finding hiding places for the kids and jumping photos too.

It was great to see all their dogs too. Adds another dimension to running photos!

Millie and Katie enjoyed taking photos on my camera too at the end, great skills girls!

Poppy & Nell

Its always great to see children coming back to the studio again for more photos. I last met Poppy when she was turning 2. Now she is about to turn 3 and brought her little sister Nell in for photos too.

Nell is 6 months and such a cute little smiler, how adorable is she in her little dress!

Poppy took advantage of my teepee for hiding for photos and loved trailing flowers around too and generally running around. Perfect for those fun photos, I am a ninja at getting photos of kids in action!

A great way to celebrate a milestone year, book the studio in to celebrate your own special occasion. For first birthdays I even do cake smashes too!

Tommy & William, Threlkeld farm portraits

Its lovely to do on location photo sessions and at home portraits are lots of fun. These portraits of Tommy and William were special as they took place on their family farm in Threlkeld, Keswick.

As it was a typical January rainy morning we did some photos inside the house first with rocking horses and playing around.

After that we braved the weather for some photos on the doorstep and then headed into one of the barns for some photos with “lamb lamb” William’s pet sheep who is about to have her own babies.

We managed some photos with the cows too and had fun with some hay throwing before heading up the hill to the entrance where we could capture the family with the sign to the farm. Such a stunning location with 360 views of the fells.

A great day out, if you would like some at home family portraits drop me a message.

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

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.

Carlisle family portraits

Family reunions are my awesome to capture. With his daughter back from college in America with her best friend the Tweedie family invited me to capture their family in their garden near Carlisle over the jubilee weekend.

There were three generations and lots of laughter, we had fun with races, flags and overexcited chickens too!

I tend to capture extended families with a mix of posed and informal portraits, one hour is more than enough time to capture all of this and we had time for lots of fun.

Whether you would like a back garden photo session or photos by a lake, give me a shout and we can book in a time to suit you all and capture those memories with your family.
