Photographer Josh Shinner has captured some of Kate Middleton<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Prince William<\/a>‘s most endearing family moments, and he has revealed one of his favorite images of the royals.<\/p>\n“It\u2019s been a real privilege to photograph the @princeandprincessofwales over the last couple of years, and this might be my favourite shot to date,” Shinner captioned a candid family photo<\/a> posted to his Instagram account on Sept. 10. “Just a really joyful and spontaneous moment that I\u2019m so happy to have been there for.”<\/p>\nThe photograph, taken during a family shoot that William and Kate have shared multiple times this year, is a candid black-and-white shot of Prince William lying on the ground, surrounded by his smiling children. Princess Charlotte<\/a>, 10, grins at the camera, while her brothers, Prince George<\/a>, 12, and Prince Louis<\/a>, 7, have their faces turned towards their father.<\/p>\nThe photo was previously shared on the Prince and Princess’s Instagram account as part of a Father’s Day<\/a> tribute to Prince William in June. Alongside a more formal image, the caption joked that the two shots were a “before and after” moment.<\/p>\nThe family has also shared other photos from the same photo shoot for Prince George’s birthday<\/a> in July and Prince Louis’ birthday<\/a> in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Karwai](\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/j48k451uhmudUSbHltQPVQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTEyNDI7aD04Mjg-\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/aol_people_articles_471\/81295c6ed66c619bad2c08da8c28e54e\"\/)
