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...

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...

Family Photographer Center Parcs | Whinfell Forest Meet Vicki and her gorgeous family! They asked me to join them for a family photo shoot at Center Parcs, Whinfell Forest in Penrith. I love being able to join families on holiday, when they're together perhaps on a rare occasion due to distance or busy lives. We had a glorious day, one of the only nice days for quite some time which was such a big surprise! We took a stroll through the forest together while I picked out pockets of nice light for photos, and it's always easy to find good spots for the kids to have a run, jump and explore...

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...

Centre Parcs Family Photography Shoot | Whinfell Forest Penrith I was asked to join this gorgeous family for a photo shoot in Centre Parcs, Whinfell Forest in Penrith. The family all range from ages 11 up to almost 90, and it was such a special occasion for them. They had never stayed in the same place at the same time before and I was hired to capture some photos of them together as they walked over to the Lakeside Inn to have a meal. Elaine was after more natural photos, as well as a few posed shots. The weather really couldn't have been more beautiful on the day! It was evening and the sun was shining...
