I joined Aidan and his parents on a warm Spring morning to document their typical Sunday stroll around Bishops Park in Fulham. We played in the sandpit, fed the ducks, ate yummy farmers’ market food and had a little picnic at Fulham Palace and Gardens next door.

Without any posing or direction (no, I don’t even say “now sit together like so and look excited as you play with diggers”, or “hold hands and walk towards me, but don’t look at the camera”) I was able to capture this family’s day, from fun and excitement to quiet intimate moments.

Here’s what Aidan’s mummy had to say:

We absolutely love our photos from our shoot with Antonina! She captured some beautiful intimate family moments which we feel truly reflect us as a family. We loved spending the day with her! She made us feel at ease and comfortable doing what we would normally do without feeling the need to pose for her. Absolutely amazing and highly recommended!!!

Below is a small selection of the images from our time together.
