Center Parcs

Emma's Whinfell Forest Family Photography Meet Emma and her gorgeous little family! I had the privilege of joining them last weekend at Whinfell Forest Center Parcs in Cumbria. We had a nice stroll together, making the most of the lush greenery of the trees for their photos. The main wildlife to be seen were the friendly ducks, no doubt hoping for some free handouts! The weather was overcast, but yet bright enough to provide some nice light for Emma's photos. As pretty as sunshine can be, working with diffused overcast light is much more flattering. Less harsh shadows and no squinting subjects!...

Ross & Family Whinfell Forest Photography Meet Ross and family! I had the pleasure of meeting them at Center Parcs in Whinfell Forest. This shoot was so much fun as there were lots of lovely kids in their family to photograph. Kids always bring life and adventure to any photos!

After the main part of the shoot finished we headed over to the large play park where the kids got to run free and I captured...

Center Parcs Photo Session | Penrith Family Photographer I'm often asked to pop in to Center Parcs in Penrith (Whinfell Forest) to photograph a family shoot. It's such a pleasure to join families as they enjoy the scenery of the forest on their holiday. Red Squirrels, deer, pheasants and rabbits are often frequent visitors on the shoots, and I love spending half an hour before the shoot capturing the little details for the family to bring back happy memories of their stay in nature. The texture of the bark on the trees, frost on cobwebs suspended between trees, flowers gently swaying in the breeze...

Center Parcs Whinfell Forest Photography I do love a photo shoot. The lack of pressure compared to a wedding is refreshing, and being asked to pop in to join a family at Center Parcs is no exception! This picturesque retreat nestled in the heart of nature provides the perfect backdrop for a memorable family photo shoot. Asking for some professional photos not only gives you a chance to have some memories captured with your loved ones, but also some professional photos taken of the nature around you. I love arriving at Whinfell a little earlier than the shoot. This gives me time to find the location...
