It was a joy to spend an afternoon with this lovely family.

I love dogs and was very happy to include this gentle Golden Retriever in the shoot - the bond between dog and boy was a delight to see.


We met on Wandsworth Common, and started by getting some of the more posed group photos that I knew the family wanted as well as some fun informal shots (like peekaboo behind the tree!) We then wandered over to the duck pond, found some blossom, and a bridge to play Pooh-sticks, which provided much entertainment!


By the end of the session I felt I had made a new friend - what a sweet-natured, happy two year old.
