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.

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...

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...
