Maternity Photography in Northumberland
Northumberland is one of England's most dramatic and spacious counties — and it rewards maternity photography with an extraordinary range of settings. Bamburgh Castle, rising directly from the Northumberland coast with a sweep of open beach below, creates powerful and unforgettable compositions. Alnwick Castle & The Alnwick Garden, one of England's largest walled gardens, offers refined formal settings alongside the castle's medieval battlements that feature so prominently in popular culture.
Dunstanburgh Castle's romantic ruins on the rocky headland above Embleton Bay are reached by a beautiful coastal path. Cragside (National Trust, near Rothbury) — the first house in the world lit by hydroelectric power — stands in spectacular moorland and woodland. The Northumberland coast stretches north from Amble to the Scottish border, offering near-deserted beaches. I cover Alnwick, Hexham, Morpeth, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Ashington, Blyth, Amble, Cramlington, and all of Northumberland.
