The thing that decides an Edgware family session is its order, not its location. Where three or four generations turn up together, the group is at its most cooperative in the opening fifteen minutes and never comes back to that state, so the picture containing everybody is taken first, before coats come off and before anyone has been asked to do the same thing twice. Every smaller combination, the couples, the cousins, the children by themselves, can be built out of a set of people who have already been arranged once. Ground matters more than scenery for the same practical reason. A designed park such as Canons Park has made paths and level going, which is exactly what a pram and an eighty year old both require. Grass looks better in a frame and behaves worse under everyone standing on it, especially after rain. The compromise is to put the group on firm footing and let the park be the background, rather than marching the whole party out into the middle of a lawn for a view that nobody notices once the picture is printed. Small children set the clock. Willingness to stand still runs out somewhere near the twenty minute mark, and the correct response is to stop asking for stillness. Give a four year old a job, hold this, find that, run to the tree and back, and the frames arrive without being requested. In January, or with a baby only a few weeks old, the Northwood room beats every outdoor option available: warm, level, windless, and entirely indifferent to what the sky is doing.
