One of my favourite photos of the summer is this St Paul’s family portrait.\u00a0I\u00a0took it\u00a0during a family photography session in the most fantastic of London locations. I’d photographed the family in their home on Christmas Eve a few years ago.\u00a0So it\u00a0was lovely to meet up again for a totally different kind of family photoshoot.<\/p>\n

A central London family photography session<\/h2>\n

The family live in Central London and often spend their weekends wandering around Borough Market<\/a>. They wanted\u00a0the photos to reflect their typical weekend, so we began the photoshoot in this wonderful food and drink market. I absolutely love photographing in this vibrant part of London. The colours are amazing and there are so many brilliantly interesting backgrounds for the photos.<\/p>\n

After taking\u00a0a variety of natural family photos we walked around the River Thames towards The Tate Modern. The plan was to\u00a0include this striking contemporary art gallery in some of the images. And the next stunning backdrop was to be\u00a0St Paul\u2019s Cathedral<\/a>, just the other side of the River Thames. We made our way on to the Millennium Bridge and it was amazing\u00a0to see how quiet it was. Usually on a Saturday morning it\u2019s full of people exploring this wonderful part of the city. But London is eerily quiet these days. It feels so strange but is obviously an advantage for a London family photographer!<\/p>\n

Creating a fun St Paul’s family portrait<\/h2>\n

I really wanted to create a natural image to reflect this family\u2019s fun personality. So I asked them to just\u00a0ignore me and have fun playing on the Bridge. The little boy snuggled up with his mum to have a chat, and the lively girl ran to and from her dad. I was so pleased to capture this moment of their family life in such a spectacular setting. And I was overjoyed to hear that it was one of the family\u2019s favourite images from our morning together.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like your very own family portraits taken at your\u00a0favourite London monument, please do get in touch. \u00a0More examples of my work can be seen here London Vacation Photographer<\/a><\/p>\n
