I love this silhouette portrait from one of my London children\u2019s photography sessions. It was taken at the end of a really fun shoot with such a sweet little boy. The boy\u2019s mum had booked a session when I had a stand\u00a0at the Baby Show Olympia last year. And when lockdown finished we arranged to do the photos in September in one of London\u2019s beautiful parks.<\/p>\n

Such a fun children’s photography session!<\/h2>\n

So this\u00a0little boy was an absolute dream to photograph! He was very happy to be exploring the park and excited to be running around in the sunshine.\u00a0In\u00a0addition to this he was a complete natural in front of camera. He literally didn\u2019t stop laughing for the whole hour we were together! So\u00a0as you might imagine it didn\u2019t take too long to get a huge variety of fantastic images. I love it when this happens as it gives me\u00a0a little more time to experiment with photos, something I\u2019m always keen to do on London children\u2019s photography sessions.\u00a0In this particular London park there is a covered walkway with arches. Over the years it\u2019s a feature of the park I\u2019ve used a lot with families. This time I wanted to create something a little different.<\/p>\n

Creating a silhouette portrait<\/h2>\n

So while the little boy played in front of the archway I took several shots. The bright light was coming from behind him\u00a0– as a result\u00a0it produced the perfect silhouette. He wasn\u2019t there for too long, but I\u2019ve learnt over the years to work really quickly with young children. Just as he pointed to where he wanted to go next, I captured the image below. I just love the way his finger is pointing towards the next adventure. And with the beautiful trees in the distance framing his face it\u2019s a children\u2019s portrait that I\u2019m really happy with.<\/p>\n
