There was, of course, the traditional photograph that featured both the Royal Family and the Middleton family.
They also took a photo of the family of four. This is the first family portrait we have seen that features all four of them!
However, in contrast to Prince George's christening, there were also a couple of more candid shots of the family. One of The Duchess and Princess Charlotte...
...and of Prince William and Prince George.
The photographs were taken by Mario Testino - a renowned photographer.
In the past Mario Testino has photographed Princess Diana. He was reportedly one of Princess Diana's favourite photographers!
He also famously photographed William and Kate's engagement photographs.

However this was the first time he has ever photographed The Queen!
Mario Testino posted one of the pictures and his Instagram page and included this caption:
"I AM OVERWHELMED AND HONOURED TO BE CHOSEN TO TAKE THESE PORTRAITS ON THE OCCASION OF PRINCESS CHARLOTTE'S CHRISTENING, TO CARRY ON THE DOCUMENTATION OF THE FAMILY THAT IS THE SOUL OF THIS COUNTRY, A COUNTRY THAT HAS GIVEN ME SO MUCH."
I love the photographs and think they beautifully capture the Cambridge family. What do you think??
