Claire's Family Photography Center Parcs Whinfell Forest Meet Claire and her beautiful family! They got together for a holiday at the Treehouses in Center Parcs, Whinfell Forest in Penrith. This family were so much fun to photograph! Not taking themselves too seriously, it was perfect for their photos. They came up with a bunch of relaxed and hilarious poses (to go along with the more serious) which added a great variety to their shoot. It's always a pleasure to be asked to photograph bigger families as they often only get together once in a while. Claire (and family!) it was so nice...

Matt's Family Photography Penrith Cazenovia Hall Meet Matt and his gorgeous family! They got together for a holiday at the stunning Cazenovia Hall in Penrith, Cumbria. The reason for getting together was a very special occasion as Matt's parents were celebrating their Ruby wedding anniversary. 40 wonderful years together! We had a lovely time making the most of the gardens at Cazenovia Hall, as well as using the interior for some more natural shots of the family as they enjoyed some time together. Despite a wet start the weather was glorious by afternoon so we were even able to take some...

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! This can also be a challenge, although these parents were excellent at coming up with ways to get their attention. The kids were little superstars and we got all the shots requested - success! 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...

Gabi's Family Shoot | Family Photographer Penrith Meet the lovely Gabi, Mikey and Finn! This gorgeous little family asked me to take some photographs while they were up North on a holiday to Center Parcs in Whinfell Forest. Gabi discovered a pretty location close by to Whinfell Forest called Cliburn Moss Nature Reserve. The location was stunning - set in a forest near Penrith the continuous trees, ponds, meadows and wooden walkways made it the perfect location to explore and shoot! The most important part of the shoot was the incredibly adorable Finn. I have never, ever photographed a baby...

Emma Family Shoot | Fell Foot Park Photography I photographed this stunning little family about 4 years ago in Fell Foot Park, Cumbria. The lovely Emma got in touch recently to ask if I could take some updated photos of her little crew. I was so excited to see them again, and it honestly felt like catching up with friends rather than work. I always try to keep things fun when photographing children, always choosing large open spaces to give them plenty of room to be themselves in between posing for a few more formal photographs. These four are SO much fun together! They're incredibly...

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,...
