Page 44 www.lux-review.com LUX 2018 Global Excellence Awards Life Portraits at Simon Anderson Photography offers a wide range of stylised portrait photography, including maternity shoots, new born photographs and pet portraits. Dawn discusses the firm’s service offering in more detail. “Here at Life Portraits we offer photographic services in particular Portrait and wedding photography whether that be capturing the first year of a new born baby, your beloved pet, the whole family or your special day. “Our offering includes a range of amazing wall art products which when hung on the wall can fill a room with memories, when the children grow up its a reminder of their younger days, when a pet leaves us it is a memory of all those good times and unconditional love that these animals gift us with. It is a reminder of special people we either no longer see as much as we would like or are no longer with us. It’s a luxury that lasts well beyond the experience of the shoot. We have some great clients from all walks of life but they all have one thing in common and that its they want to invest in capturing their memories for the future.” Operating in the fast-paced photography market means having to work hard to adapt to emerging market trends. Having a studio with a range of props and backgrounds offers Dawn and the team the chance to provide innovative photography services that meet clients’ ever-evolving needs, as she highlights. Based in Penrith, Cumbria Life Portraits at Simon Anderson Photography offers a range of photography including Family Portraits, Pet Portraits, Newborn Photography and Weddings. We invited Dawn Matthews to tell us more. Life Portrait at Simon Anderson Photography Best for Portrait Photography 2018 - Cumbria “Today there are a lot of photographers on the market but those with studios are dwindling, we are lucky that we have a beautiful studio that is easy to get to and has numerous studio rooms such as a baby room, fairy experience room, a main studio which is large enough for big groups, a boudoir room and, coming this year, a super hero set up. “Being based in a studio helps us to work towards achieving our mission: to provide our customers with a great experience and great products.

We are also looking into teaming up with other suppliers to offer one-off experiences in the future. These developments will ensure our continues success going forward.” Company: Life Portrait at Simon Anderson Photography Name: Dawn Matthews Address: Rowan House, St Andrews Place, Penrith, CA11 7XZ Telephone Number: 01768866899 Web Address: www.lifeortraits.co.uk or www.simonandersonphotography.co.uk
