Many of my family photography sessions in North London take place on Hampstead Heath, around Kenwood House. It's the ideal spot for a summer photoshoot with the long golden grass and blooming flowers - and plenty of trees and foliage to filter the strong sunshine.
Family photography at Kenwood House
This gorgeous session with Swiss-born Dominique and her adorable family took place early one Sunday morning when we practically had the place to ourselves! The family live in Belsize Park so Hampstead Heath was a perfect choice of location for our shoot. Sweet baby Elliot was 10 months old at the time of these portraits - and had some pretty speedy crawling abilities! I love to create a mix of very natural, candid photographs (check out Elliot's funny face below), as well as more "posed" family portraits - sometimes clients may be drawn more to one style than the other, but it's always nice to have plenty of choice and grandparents particularly like the more classic photographs! As a professional photographer I won't know what individual little character traits each child will have, however, it's my job to document everything as far as possible (in the most beautifully-lit way possible) to create a wonderful lasting record of that particular age. I also love to make some photographs into stylish black and whites which are so elegant and timeless!
