May this year makes me think of bank holidays, warm dry weather, bluebells and the launch of my new website!

I went back to Gossel Ridding (a beautiful luxury holiday retreat on Windermere) in May for a second shoot. They needed bathrooms, bedrooms and details shooting for their website, www.gosselridding.com.

I also returned to Pear Tree Park in Holme, Cumbria for Russell Armer (Kendal based property developers) to shoot one of the newly finished plots for a special promotion.

The month ended with a product shoot for a new Kendal based company Cherchbi, run by Adam Atkinson. Cherchbi sell British made, Cumbrian inspired male accessories, including Herdwyck wool laptop satchels. The products are beautiful and were a pleasure to shoot.

If you are a woman in business in the South Lakes area then please come along to the next LBN meeting, the LBN’s website has lots more info.
