Family & Vacation Photography in London


Are you looking for a family and vacation photographer in London? I've recently started to book some families from abroad for vacation and holiday portraits in London, and it's been a big hit!

Westminster is the perfect borough for family photography in London year-round.

The Layrisson-family reached out in 2022 to book me, to document their summer travels in Europe. We planned the photo session around Big Ben, Westminster Bridge and the beautiful Southbank. On our mood board we had a mix of candids, portraits and sunshine.

We met at 6AM and let me tell you, it was so so worth it. London was still asleep. No businessmen, locals or tourists in our shots and we had the most magical golden morning light. The early bird, catches the worm, and we certainly did!


The Layrisson family was as kind and polite as they were pretty. A typical American family, with warm hearts, big smiles and so much joy. It was easy to photograph them as a family. They enjoyed the process, laughed about my rather bad jokes and told me lots of facts about their travels.
