Well what a year 2020 has been! Certainly not the easiest to be a London family photographer! Very luckily, I was able to get back to doing family photoshoots after the first lockdown, which was wonderful. Since then I\u2019ve met many fantastic families and had such fun with them creating family portraits. I am so grateful to them all for supporting my business through these difficult times.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately other areas of my business have been badly affected. Mainly my wedding and events photography. It\u2019s hard to see at the moment when these will return to normal, but like everyone else I\u2019m trying to just take a day at a time and be thankful for the work I do have.<\/p>\n

The joys of London vacation photography<\/h2>\n

Another part of my photography that stopped in March was my London vacation photography. I used to photograph so many families that were on holiday in this amazing city and I loved it.\u00a0 It was brilliant meeting up with families from all over the world, hearing about their lives back home, and creating memorable portraits of them at London\u2019s spectacular landmarks.<\/p>\n

The image below was taken during the last London vacation photoshoot I did before the March lockdown. I met up with this lovely American family and none of us had any idea of the year that lay ahead. It\u2019s almost impossible to believe that when the session took place we were only a couple of weeks away from lockdown in the UK. Hence the photos from this wonderful family photoshoot have become really special to me. And I\u2019m happy to report that the family were overjoyed with the images too! I\u2019m looking forward to photographing them again when they return to London at some point in the future.<\/p>\n

Happy New Year from this London family photographer!<\/h2>\n

So it\u2019s goodbye to 2020. It definitely wasn\u2019t the year any of us had in mind, but I have so many things to be thankful for. And here\u2019s to a hopefully better 2021 for everyone \u2013 Happy New Year!
