As a South West London children's and family photographer, I am frequently in Wimbledon for portrait shoots; Wimbledon Common and Cannizaro Park and two of my favourite locations in Wimbledon for children's portrait sessions.

Family photoshoot in Cannizaro Park, Wimbledon

We were so lucky with the weather; we had an absolutely beautiful summer's day for this family photoshoot with 3 year old Liv in Cannizaro Park. We had so much fun, feeding the ducks, playing hide and seek in the rhodendendrons which were in full bloom and running in the meadow. As always I encourage little ones to play and explore - no saying "cheese" or posing for the camera here! I find its the best way to capture beautiful natural expressions that parents will love. These photos were all taken around mid-morning; you can see how the sun is pretty strong at this time, but there is still beautiful soft light to be had in the quieter, shaded spots in the park.

Here's a few of my very favourite portraits from the day.
