Working as a natural baby photographer has to be one of the best jobs there is! It really doesn’t get much better than meeting up with families who have recently had a baby. And at this incredibly precious time in their lives I get to spend time with them and create beautiful images. I really do feel so lucky to be doing the job I love!
Sometimes these London baby photography sessions take place in the family home, sometimes outdoors. It depends on the age of the baby, the time of year and most importantly what the family prefers.
Natural baby photographer in the park
In this case the family of four were keen to have the photographs taken in their local park. They have a lovely Saturday morning routine where they walk to their favourite coffee shop. Here they pick up croissants and coffee and make their way to the local park. Then they enjoy a picnic and play time with their little boy and baby daughter. They were keen to capture this routine in the images, so the park really was the perfect location for the family portraits.
Creating a cute sibling portrait
After getting lots of lovely images of the family of four sitting on a park bench, I wanted to get some of the two children together. One very proud older brother with his baby sister. They were too young to sit on the bench on their own, and despite the mild October weather the ground was too wet for them to sit on, so I decided to just leave them in the same position they had been in for the family portraits. The baby girl in dad’s arm and the little boy sitting in between his sister and his mum.
All I had to do was zoom in on the two of them and click away while they interacted with each other. It worked perfectly and we got lots of happy smiley shots of them. But the image below turned out to be one of my favourite sibling portraits. The way the boy is trying to hold his sister’s head still for the photos and her slightly shocked face just makes me smile! I really hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
