Lois' Family Photography Center Parcs Whinfell Forest Meet Lois and family! This super lovely bunch got together for a special holiday at Whinfell Forest, the Center Parcs in Penrith. They asked me to join them to capture some photographs of their little family as they spent some time together in Cumbria enjoying nature. The day was a gorgeous one, with plenty of sunshine shining through the branches to provide pockets of light perfect for their photographs. I love capturing moments with a family (both posed and more natural) and this family were a lot of fun! They were super friendly and it was a pleasure...

Kath's Family Photography Whinfell Forest Photo Shoot Meet Kath and her gorgeous family! I joined them all up at Whinfell Forest Center Parcs in Penrith for their family photo shoot. The day was a beautiful one and we were able to make the most of the lovely pockets of light coming in between the trees, as we took a stroll through the village to the centre where they had an evening reservation at the Bella Italia restaurant. I love joining families on their holidays to capture some portraits for them, as well as some posed group photos I always focus on capturing a little bit of nature...

Mark Family Photography Whinfell Forest Center Parcs Meet Mark and his family! They recently had a holiday together at Whinfell Forest Center Parcs in Penrith, Cumbria. When Mark got in touch about the shoot he said they'd really like some natural photos of them all enjoying some time together back at the lodge - music to my ears! I love capturing these kind of shots for people. There's something special about those natural documentary style photos that can capture a person and a group dynamic better than posed photographs. After a little stroll where we got a few posed family shots (also...

Carly's Family Photography Center Parcs Whinfell Forest I had the pleasure of popping into Whinfell Forest Center Parcs in Penrith to meet and photograph Carly and her gorgeous family. Carly and family were making the most of their time together before she moves abroad with her husband and girls, so the time was extra special for them. The weather was simply glorious - it's always such a joy to capture the forest as it's lit up with sunshine. Whinfell is beautiful whatever the time of year and whatever the weather, but it's rather magical in the warm sunshine! We took a little walk from...

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...

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...
