I love this sibling portrait, taken a few years ago. The sweet smile on the little boy\u2019s face is delightful and the way his older sister is looking at him equally wonderful. And the story behind this image will show a little about the way I work when I\u2019m on a London family photography session.<\/p>\n

I met up with the family at their home just before Christmas. The mum, who I had met at a school fair (where I had a stand promoting my family photography) was keen to have some natural portraits of her two children together. We started the session in their home, capturing lots of relaxed shots using the Christmas tree as a festive backdrop.<\/p>\n

London family photography sessions in your local park<\/h2>\n

We then wandered up the road to the family\u2019s local park. This always works well, as the children feel comfortable in familiar surroundings, making the\u00a0photos look completely natural. After having lots of fun running around and playing hide and seek, I was really happy with the variety of images we had from our family photoshoot. So it was time to make our way back to the family home, collect my gear and say goodbye.<\/p>\n

A natural sibling portrait<\/h2>\n

However, I never feel like the session is over until I\u2019m actually driving away in my car. I\u2019m always ready to capture any last-minute action! And on this morning, I was so happy I had my camera to hand when we arrived back at the family home. As in the street there was some building work going on and a large digger had arrived. The little boy was overjoyed to see it at work. His sister lifted him up so he could get a better view and I captured the image below. The boy was so happy to watch\u00a0the machinery, and his older sister was just happy to see his joy.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy this image as much as I do. It\u2019s lovely to be able to share some of my favourite photos while we\u2019re in lockdown. To see more of my work please follow this link London Family Photographer<\/a><\/p>\n
