We specialise in comprehensive wedding documentation, capturing natural moments from preparations through to first dances. Our two-photographer team ensures complete coverage with candid and posed shots. Clients receive professionally edited high-resolution images in a password-protected online gallery for six months, plus digital downloads or memory sticks.
Newborn Photography
Our newborn sessions focus on safe, gentle posing to create timeless images of your baby's earliest days. We use specialist props and backdrops in studio or home settings. Sessions typically last 2-3 hours to accommodate baby's needs, with multiple outfit changes and parent involvement encouraged for family bonding shots.

With 15 years' experience, we capture dancers' grace and athleticism in outdoor and studio settings. Our sessions highlight technical skill and artistic expression through dynamic compositions. We specialise in individual and group portraits, action shots, and performance documentation for dance schools and professional companies across Cumbria.
Maternity Photography
We create elegant maternity portraits celebrating pregnancy's beauty through natural light and emotive compositions. Sessions focus on body positivity and family connections, often including partners and siblings. Our studio offers maternity gowns and accessories, with outdoor options available for scenic backdrops in Carlisle's green spaces.
Pet Photography
Our pet sessions capture animals' unique personalities in relaxed outdoor or home environments. We specialise in candid shots that showcase natural behaviour alongside posed portraits. The 1-hour sessions accommodate multiple pets per household, with props and treats provided to ensure comfortable, engaging results that highlight your pet's character.
