Emma's Fell Foot Park Family Photo Shoot Emma and her little family are very special clients. Emma's booked me three times in the past 6 years to do a photo shoot at Fell Foot Park in Cumbria, the Lake District. It's been such a joy to watch the kids all growing up. Our first shoot was when her youngest was just a baby, now he's much bigger and full of character. We always have fun at Fell Foot, where we're spoiled with the scenery. The main attraction is obviously Lake Windermere, but I just adore the long grasses, wild flowers, fallen tree stumps and plenty of space for the kids to be free....

I Don't Want My Pictures on Social Media or Online, is That Possible? A number of times over the years, just once in a while, I get a request to keep a potential client's photos off social media and my blog. How do I, as the photographer, feel about this? I completely and utterly understand not wanting photos online! Especially when it comes to your children, you may not want to have those photos in plain sight for just anyone to see. Also your privacy is very important, and you may simply wish not to have your photos online. I always work along with a client - if they prefer to keep...
