RETREAT TO ASPIRE
TRULY FOCUS ON YOU & YOUR BUSINESS
The magic begins here in the English Lake District. Breathe in the inspiration and leave your worries behind as you travel towards the kingdom of dreams! Aspire is set on the edge of the English Lake District, the endless vista lends itself beautifully for photogenic capture. Aspire’s landscape is breathtakingly magical. This is the ultimate location to learn from.
You can find us just a hop, skip and a taxi ride from Carnforth station which is 5 minutes away. Alternatively Oxenholme and Lancaster, the mainline stations are equally as accessible. We are based close to the main northern line railway service, ideal for those travelling from either North or South. For our friends living overseas, the Manchester Airport shuttle runs regularly and can get you to the gateway to the Lake District within an hour and a half from the airport.

HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH BABIES
I have had another great time with you at Aspire.
It was lovely working with Jenny H.
She is very supportive and allowed me to just have a go and try new poses and ideas.
