The Lakes Muse Portrait Experience

Creative, cinematic Lake District portraits.

A Creative portrait experience for those who want more than holiday snapshots.

Turn your time in the Lake District into something timeless.

The Lakes Muse Portrait Experience is a slow, story-led portrait session designed for visitors who want more than holiday snapshots. Inspired by water, fells, folklore and literature, these portraits are about presence, emotion, and becoming part of the landscape you travelled to see.

This is not about posing perfectly. It’s about creating images that feel like stills from a film or the cover of a novel — quiet, expressive, and deeply personal.

Who this Lake district experience is for?

This experience is ideal if you:

Are visiting the Lake District from elsewhere in the UK or overseas
Want photographs that feel cinematic, poetic, and natural
Prefer gentle direction rather than traditional posing
Want to remember how the place felt, not just how it looked
Perfect for individuals or couples or to enjoy alongside a best friend

You don’t need to be a model or feel confident in front of the camera. I guide you throughout, helping you feel comfortable, grounded and present.

Don't just leave the Lake District with photos on your phone, there's a reason Taylor Swift sung about the Lake District, the landscape is simply sensational and ready to frame you!

Each Lakes Muse session is approached with care and intention.

We work at a relaxed pace, allowing time to walk, pause, and respond to the environment. I’ll gently guide you with simple prompts — how to stand, move, breathe, and interact with the landscape — so the images feel natural rather than staged.

Locations are chosen based on light, weather, accessibility, and mood. This might include lakeshores, woodland paths, stone bridges, or quiet open spaces where the landscape can breathe.

Sessions are calm, unhurried, and shaped around you.

This experience is designed to feel like part of your holiday, not an interruption to it.
Clothing plays a big role in the feel of these portraits.

Flowing fabrics, natural fibres, soft colours, and simple shapes photograph beautifully against the Lake District landscape. Dresses, skirts, loose trousers, knits, and layers all work well.

Once you book, I’ll send you a simple styling guide with suggestions tailored to the season and location.
Sessions take place across the Lake District, with locations chosen carefully to suit your schedule and mobility.
I work away from busy viewpoints wherever possible, favouring quieter areas that feel timeless and unspoilt.
