During the second half of the year I photographed so\u00a0many\u00a0wonderful families. They were were all keen to have some meaningful family portraits taken. Because of all the uncertainty in the world, the importance of creating family\u00a0images seems greater than ever at the moment. Preserving memories that will last a lifetime and beyond.<\/p>\n<h2>Family Photoshoot at Chiswick House<\/h2>\n<p>I took the image below during\u00a0my last London family photography session before lockdown. We met up\u00a0at <a href=\"https:\/\/chiswickhouseandgardens.org.uk\">Chiswick House and Gardens<\/a>,\u00a0a\u00a0wonderful location in West London. Despite it being an extremely cold day, the family were really excited about their photoshoot. They were such fun to spend time with, as we wandered around the beautiful grounds of Chiswick House.<\/p>\n<h2>Professional family photoshoots in all weathers!<\/h2>\n<p>As it was so cold we kept moving fairly quickly. We just paused to take photos at various locations. Because of this we got\u00a0a huge variety of images, with all the\u00a0spectacular backdrops this venue offers. One of my favourites of the day is the one below, where the family are walking happily together in front of the stunning Chiswick House. For those of you who don\u2019t know it already, it really is worth a visit. This 18<sup>th\u00a0<\/sup>century Roman-style Palladian villa was built by the 3<sup>rd\u00a0<\/sup>Earl of Burlington and provides the perfect backdrop to any family portraits.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you enjoy seeing this image as much as I enjoyed taking it. I\u2019m looking forward to sharing more of my favourite photos with you over the next month or two.
