This image from a recent fun children’s photography session makes me smile. And don\u2019t we all need a bit of that now?! It was just one energetic photo out of many that I loved from this fantastic London family photography session.<\/p>\n

When photographing young children, it\u00a0can be tricky to get them\u00a0to stay still. They might for a few seconds here and there, but then they\u2019re off, exploring the next thing. And that\u2019s absolutely fine! I don\u2019t need children to sit and pose\u00a0to create fantastic portraits of them. I tell parents there\u2019s no need to worry when their kids are racing around at top speed doing their own thing. In fact, it\u2019s perfect… and my favourite way to photograph young children. It ensures that we get a variety of really natural photographs, each one showing the true personality of your child.<\/p>\n

Fun Children’s Photography in your own garden<\/h2>\n

The three siblings I photographed in this London family photoshoot were fantastic. Two lively twin boys and their very patient older sister. The family had booked a one-hour session in their back garden over the summer and had luckily chosen a wonderfully warm day for the shoot.<\/p>\n

We began, as I usually do, with some relaxed portraits of the whole family together. This works really well at the start of any session. As the children haven\u2019t normally met me before they\u2019re interested in my cameras and what I\u2019m doing, so are more likely to sit for the family portraits for a few seconds at least! And that\u2019s all it takes to get some great family photos.<\/p>\n

And then it\u2019s the fun part – play time! The family can just enjoy doing their favourite activities together, while I take more candid photos.\u00a0This particular photograph was taken during a game of sleeping bunnies. The three children lay on the blanket pretending to sleep, then all leapt in the air together, while I clicked away. I love the resulting image – it\u2019s full of fun, laughter and energy – \u00a0and I was overjoyed that the parents loved it too!<\/p>\n

Why not book your own fun children’s photography session!<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019d like to have some fun portraits taken of your children, please do get in touch. You can see more examples of my London children\u2019s photography here London Children\u2019s Photographer<\/a><\/p>\n
