I love this image from a fun children’s photography session I did over the summer \u2013 it makes me smile! This very cute little boy was with his parents on a family photoshoot near Tower Bridge. We\u2019d already got lots of great family portraits of the three of them together using the stunning backdrop of Tower Bridge. So it was time to get some portraits of the little boy on his own.<\/p>\n

Happy, fun children’s photography sessions<\/h2>\n

When I photograph children, I try and keep it as natural as possible. If you ask a child to smile for the camera either they won\u2019t, or if they do it probably won\u2019t look very natural. So instead I just let them play and take shots while they\u2019re having fun. Or I might ask mum or dad to stand behind me and engage with their child. After all they know exactly what will get the best reaction and make them laugh. It can either be a joke, singing a song, or my favourite \u2013 some dad dancing! Unfortunately I never get to see the dancing that\u2019s going on behind me, but I don\u2019t mind if it produces an image like this! To be honest I can\u2019t quite remember what was happening at the time of this fun children\u2019s portrait, but it certainly brought out the best in this little boy.<\/p>\n

London family photography in Shad Thames<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m so happy with everything about this image. The background is one of my favourite streets near Tower Bridge, Shad Thames<\/a> – a fantastic cobbled riverside street full of old warehouses. I also really like the colours of the photo \u2013 the way the boy\u2019s cardigan matches the yellow brick of the buildings, and his jeans the blue doorways. His natural laugh just makes me want to smile. And I love the way he\u2019s clutching hold of his precious toy bunny.<\/p>\n

I really hope you like this image from such a fun London family photography session. If you\u2019d like me to create some unique images of your children, please do get in touch. Details of my London\u2019s Children Photography can be found here London Children\u2019s Photographer<\/a><\/p>\n
