We met on a typically grey and windy London morning bang in the middle between two Spring heatwaves. London sky was trying to drizzle but after my furious glance at it decided to hold off until the next day (in case you wondered, there’s always that chance with London, there’s no predicting what the skies will do and we will shoot in any weather, especially if you only have a few days in the city).
This family was shortly relocating to Singapore and booked a photoshoot with me after googling “a London inspired family photoshoot”, finding my website – and falling in love with my style. That was exactly what they wanted, relaxed natural images of the whole family enjoying their time together.
We started as early as it was feasible, around 8.30am, to miss at least some of the crowds that descend on South Bank on a weekend. The area around London eye was delightfully empty, but as we’d made our way towards Tower Bridge (and stopped to warm up at a coffee shop on the way) it was getting busier and busier. Still, I have a few tricks up my sleeve and secret locations to take my lovely clients too, so the photographs feel like they were the only people in town.
I’ve delivered the images to the family a few days ago and they were absolutely delighted, and planning to get a few of them printed large to hang on the walls of their new home in Singapore, to remind them of their London days and inspire their children to visit London when they grow up – what a great idea!
