Firespiral Slings – Autumn 2020 – Towneley Hall, Burnley – Part 1
After Samlesbury Hall our next location was Towneley Hall in Burnley, a wonderful spot for a family day out with lots to see and do. I've been here before for a Firespiral shoot a few years ago. That time we stuck close to the hall so this time I decided to do a...
Family Shoot – At Home & Whitehall Park, Darwen – 12/2020
In between the autumn and winter lockdowns I managed to squeeze in a wonderful family and newborn shoot with mum Emily, dad Tom, big sister Eliza, and baby Iris. Emily had been bought the shoot and product package as a new baby gift and she was a little aprehensive...

Family Shoot – Sunnyhurst Woods, Darwen – 01/09/2020
One route my family takes into Sunnyhurst when we're out for a walk goes past the Earnsdale Riding School. Usually the horses are out in the nearby fields and on a good day near sunset the light is absolutely gorgeous, I often walk past thinking 'Wouldn't this just be...
Puppy Portraits – Blackburn with Darwen
From sweet little jelly beans to rambunctious toddlers! It was an absolute joy to photograph these cocker-poo puppies when they were newborn and again at six weeks old, not long before they went to their forever homes. Gorgeous mum Tilly was so patient and...
Family Shoot – Whitehall Park, Darwen – 16/08/2020
Taking time to get to know your family a little before your shoot really helps me to get beautiful relaxed and natural portraits for you. Never was this more clear than on a recent shoot with the Sciambarella family. This was another shoot that was affected by the...
