Lakeside Hotel Photography | Family Photographer Cumbria Meet Fiona and family! They recently got together to celebrate at the stunning Lakeside Hotel in Newby Bridge, Cumbria. Set along the side of Lake Windermere, it's a stunning location to have afternoon tea. You can enjoy a log fire and sit in the conservatory overlooking the lake. There are a number of piers that make the location special for photos, with views of the pretty hills. The day was thankfully a dry one, and the light was soft and flattering as it was diffused by the clouds. However it was a little cold so we kept the outdoor...

The McSorley Family Shoot | Photographer Whinfell Forest Center Parcs Meet the gorgeous McSorley family! They hired me to go and shoot a family session with them while they were on their holidays at Center Parcs in Whinfell Forest, Cumbria. They were having a double celebration and decided to have a surprise photo shoot to commemorate the occasion. The day was a drizzly one, but the family were all up for photos despite getting a tiny bit wet. The light was actually in our favour and the forest provided a beautiful backdrop for some photos of the family enjoying themselves together. We took...

Julia's Family | Center Parcs Family Photography Whinfell Forest I had the pleasure of meeting up with Julia and her gorgeous family for a photo shoot in the stunning Whinfell Forest Centre Parcs in Cumbria. They were together for a family reunion to celebrate by spending time on holiday,  and the gorgeous forest couldn't have been a more perfect location for them. We had the shoot around their lodge where the light was so pretty and soft at the front and the back faced the forest where the kids (and adults!) could go and play. They had an epic den built and with their bikes to hand they...

Emma Family Shoot | Cumbria Family Photographer Fell Foot Park This gorgeous little family came over to visit the UK all the way from Houston, Texas. When Emma got in touch saying she wanted some photos of her little ones, Fell Foot park was our location of choice - it is a place special to Emma and the scenery and open grass is perfect for photos. The weather was kind to us, and we were able to enjoy the lake, boats in the background and the kids playground in the quiet evening. The beauty of doing a family shoot in a park instead of a studio is that the little ones have lots of space to run,...

Lynne Family Shoot | Loweswater Family Photographer Cumbria Meet Lynne and her wonderful family! I had the pleasure of recently photographing this gorgeous group at the stunning location of Loweswater in Cumbria, the Lake District. The weather was looking incredibly ominous the whole drive there as heavy clouds draped the hillsides, but thankfully Cumbria didn't let us down and the sun actually came out during the session which just enhanced the beauty around us. We took a walk along the lake, soaking in the beautiful golden fields and hillside in this relaxed country styled shoot. It was the perfect...

Robin & Elin's Family Shoot | Lifestyle Photographer Lancashire I photographed Robin and Elin's engagement shoot and wedding (whilst heavily pregnant!) on the stunning Anglesey, in Wales a couple years ago. Instantly I had felt I had known them for years, they are such genuine, fun and friendly people. Robin recently got in touch as he wanted to surprise Elin with a family photoshoot. The plan was to get some photos before Elin knew I was there, which was great fun!  I had the privilege of meeting their beautiful girl, Lia. She was tired but super smiley which was impressive and shows...

Centre Parcs Family Photography Shoot | Whinfell Forest Penrith I was asked to join this gorgeous family for a photo shoot in Centre Parcs, Whinfell Forest in Penrith. The family all range from ages 11 up to almost 90, and it was such a special occasion for them. They had never stayed in the same place at the same time before and I was hired to capture some photos of them together as they walked over to the Lakeside Inn to have a meal. Elaine was after more natural photos, as well as a few posed shots. The weather really couldn't have been more beautiful on the day! It was evening and the sun was shining...

Lytham Architecture Photography Across the sand dunes in Lytham St Anne's, Lancashire, a stunning top floor apartment stands that has to be seen to be believed. Created to look like a boat, the curves and symmetry are perfect. The building is floor to ceiling windows on one side giving a stunning view of the sea. From the outside you can tell the building is special, but inside it truly has the wow factor. I had the honour of taking photos for the builder, Chris Williamson. It has been a year long project for him, and he was after some photos of different details of the house he put so much...

Baby Evie Newborn Photography Preston I had the immense pleasure of meeting and working with this gorgeous little family a few days ago. Words just can't sum up how wonderful they are, inside and out! They were  looking for a newborn and family shoot that was laid back, without too much posing or props and in their own home. This is exactly the type of relaxed  baby and family shoots that I offer. Their bedroom provided some perfect natural light through a large window which was perfect for their photos. I always find families are more relaxed at home, and using natural light means no bright...

Katy & Andrew | Pre Wedding Photography Lancashire I had the pleasure of meeting up with Katy and Andrew the other day for their pre- wedding shoot at a favourite park in Preston, Lancashire. A pre wedding shoot is always a welcome addition to a wedding package, as it enables a couple to get used to how it will feel to be photographed on their wedding day. It also gives us an opportunity to catch up about the wedding details, which can add to the excitement of the day. It was beautifully sunny for their shoot, which made for some nice light in the park. Here's hoping it's just as nice for...
