As well as doing London photography sessions outdoors in parks, I also take lots of family photos at home. This is for a variety of reasons, one of them being the weather! If it\u2019s freezing cold outside, families often prefer to have their family portraits taken in the warmth of their home. Or if they have a newborn baby, it\u2019s much better to stay home for the baby photography session. And sometimes the family just find it easier being in their own home, especially when the children are little and might get distracted at the park.<\/p>\n

Why having family photos at home can be the perfect option<\/h2>\n

Whatever the reason for having your family photos at home, it can work brilliantly. Everyone is relaxed, the children feel safe in a familiar environment and your home provides the backdrop to the family photos. How\u00a0fascinating this will be in years to come, looking\u00a0back on your home d\u00e9cor as fashions change.<\/p>\n

This was my second portrait photoshoot with the family in the photos below. Their first session was outside on a warm summer\u2019s day, when their twin girls were around six months old. For the second session, which they booked to celebrate the girls turning one, the weather was much colder. So we opted for a family photoshoot at home, in their beautiful London flat.<\/p>\n

Natural baby twin portraits<\/h2>\n

The girls were fabulously smiley, and we got lots of beautiful baby portraits of them together and on their own. One of my favourite photos of these cute twins is the first one below. Apparently, the girl on the left spends a lot of time in this position reading books, so I was keen to capture this in a photo. \u00a0I was delighted when her twin sister started playing with a toy next to her. With\u00a0my camera held high I took a few photos. I was so happy with this one, the girls in the same position, but one looking up, one down.<\/p>\n

Autumn family portraits<\/h2>\n

The family flat had a balcony which looked onto some beautiful trees, which were still full of Autumn colour. Although it was cold outside, we braved it for a few minutes to get a variety of portraits of the sisters with their parents. The resulting autumnal family portraits were stunning \u2013 the lovely parents looking so proudly at their very happy baby girls.<\/p>\n
