Our recent portrait/fashion shoot for Katie hit the latest edition of Carlisle Living (from the publishers of Cumbria Life). Read more about this shoot in Carlisle Living magazine, including an introduction to 'Senior Photography', the latest must-have for 18-year-olds celebrating their coming-of-age.

(Edit: Added a couple more photos at the bottom after processing this shoot completely).



It's been busy round here recently... and quite a while since I posted any work to the blog... so let's fix that with this brief preview of a stunning portrait shoot for Katie, in her last year at school and looking forward to getting out in the world.



With dresses and hats from Genevieve in Carlisle, hair by Dada and make-up by Alex (also at Dada), we set off for the Crown and Mitre Hotel in the centre of town to make the most of the architecture in the lobby (have a look next time you're passing!).



The enormous stained glass windows set above a winding staircase was where we spent most of our time... we even got lucky with the occasional ray of sunshine!



Katie was a star: elegant, happy, moody... we covered everything... there'll be no problem making a fab album from the shoot.



Anyway, then it was time to brave the elements and head off round the corner to the cathedral. Katie chose a great outfit for this image (although what you can't see is her super-cuddly furry coat just out of shot... it really was freezing cold!)



It's difficult to choose just a few shots for this preview: there's a ton of images here that I need to process, but let's finish with one more, this time from a set of dramatic photographs set against an ancient wooden door we found.



Katie: thanks for a great shoot! Hope you enjoy this preview, and I'll text you when there's more to see.
