Summer for me always means a ton of vacation sessions in Central London. I love taking my clients along one of my favorite routes, from Millenium Bridge over to Big Ben. There are plenty of opportunities for fantastic photos that simply scream “London” – and all without the need for stiff posing or cheesy smiles.

This Aussie family have lived in London for years, but have never really taken the time to be tourists and explore the Southbank properly. I was only able to fit their photoshoot in the day before they were flying out to Australia, so this vacation photoshoot was extra special.

Here’s what Tracy had to say about their experience:

After years of living in London we wanted to get some family shots before we went to Australia. The day before we flew out Antonina mapped out a course for us to capture not only the beautiful city we love and were leaving but also our family surrounded by the cities landmarks.

I was exhausted on the day but she somehow managed to surpass my tired face and low energy by creating a fun and relaxed session. We love the photos and cannot wait to share them with everyone.

Highly recommend being tourists for a day and getting shots done in Central London. Thank you Antonina for creating these memories for us!

I leave you with some of my favourite photographs from our afternoon together.
