Baby Gracie – newborn portraits

It was lovely to hear from Chelsea the other week to let me know she had welcomed another baby into her family. I last photographed Chelsea’s newborn baby in lockdown when she had little Lacey.

We did those portraits outdoors due to the COVID restrictions so it was lovely to see the family again 4 years later for baby Gracie’s newborn photos.

With 5 siblings Gracie will never be short of someone to give a cuddle or play with so we had fun with each sibling taking it in turns to hold her for photos.

Little Gracie was really good for her photos – love her little fuzzy hair – we had fun picking out little headbands and hats for her to wear as well.

After photos of Gracie on her own there was then time for photos with proud Mum and Dad where Gracie looked so cute draped over Dad’s arm flat out sleeping!

I love to welcome families back to the studio and to see a family growing. If you are expecting a new arrival this year drop me a message to book in a newborn photo session.

Julie – Maternity portraits

Julie came to visit me in my studio in Fletchertown just before Christmas. It was therefore a great idea to wear a Christmas jumper!

Love Julie and her husband’s disney jumpers, so cute! Julie had brought along a couple of dresses to wear for the photo session too, as well as using some of my maternity gowns in my collection.

I love to incorporate props into maternity sessions like scan photos and baby booties. It’s always lovely to see baby in these props afterwards.

My studio is next to some pretty grounds for photos too so it’s always possible to do some outdoor portraits as well as inside too – especially in the winter!

If you are expecting a new arrival soon the best time to book in for maternity photos is around 34-36 weeks gestation. Drop me a message to capture your bumps!

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!

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

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.

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 Thomas, newborn portraits

Tiny Thomas was a little superstar for his newborn portraits, I love how newborn babies have the cutest little frowns, like little old men, so wise!

Thomas’ parents brought along a little cuddly elephant for photos as well which I always love to photograph with newborn babies for size comparison, its important to capture just how tiny they are!

As ever though I love the photos with his Mum & Dad cuddling him, these are the cutest little moments and a massive reason why I love newborn photography in Cumbria.

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!

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.

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!
