After a great time at last year in the Devonshire Arcade, we're running our second Pet Week in Penrith.  We saw so many cute fluffy and furry local residents and we're looking forward to seeing even more this year!  We will be in Angel Square in Penrith, handily next to Costa Coffee, next week from Monday the 23rd to Saturday the 28th of October.  Go to our Pet Week page to book in or feel free to contact us for more info. We look forward to welcoming you to Pet Week 2017! 

It's been an age since I last posted a blog - as usual, it's a sign of being particularly busy.  Between one thing and another de la Mare Photography has been particularly rammed this season! One of the things that I've been so pleased to be involved with is UCC's Prize Day.  On the actual day it's a lot of fun recording all the performances and prize winners (this year with the amazing Joey Essex - a perfect guest for making the students feel special) but I'm also privileged to get involved with making films for the event like the one below.  UCC is such a fabulous school and it was great to be able to celebrate the school year.  To quote Miranda's Mum... such fun!

Once again it was an absolute pleasure to photograph the final projects of the students at Newton Rigg's Eden Boutique.  As ever there was great evidence of creative ideas and skilful execution.  Here are a few of my favourites from the two days...

I'm a little slow in getting these up too but another enjoyable, and lovely, family sitting.  This time the session was a complete surprise for Mum as a Mother's Day present (well done Dad!).  Such a cutie too!

These photos are from a recent walk near Lowther with a lovely family - Nadine, Tom and Mayson had received a gift voucher for Christmas, and it's always fun doing voucher sittings!  A gorgeous day and family.

These lovely people were around a couple of weekends ago and so we braved the March weather and popped outside for a couple of photos!

The last few months(... well six months!) around here have been a little crazy and there should be multiple blogs cataloguing all the things that have been going on but sadly there isn’t yet! Hopefully that will be remedied soon but before spring photos should appear I thought I’d share a few wintery ones from the new camera.

We're on catch up time here at de la Mare Photography!! So hopefully some updates, blogs and photos will be appearing online in the next few weeks but in the meantime we can say hello to this gorgeous model who secretly visited us at Pet Week with de la Mare Photography last year to take a few shots for a Christmas present. 

As per usual, I'm rather behind with the blog-keeping! As a result I have a little load of photos from different sittings to pop up here! One of which is this lovely set from a recent family sitting down on Ullswater.  We walked from Pooley Bridge and had a lovely wonder, climbing trees and paddling in the water along the way.  A perfect way to spend an afternoon!

It won't be long now at all until this little one makes an appearance, but ahead of the big day we spent a lovely hour in Rickerby Park in Carlisle catching a few pre-baby photos! I can't wait to meet the third member of the family!!
