Duchess Catherine is a huge fan of taking on the role of official royal family photographer.
In celebration of Princess Charlotte starting nursery school Kate’s showed off her impressive skills behind the camera yet again by snapping her little girl’s milestone moment.
In the pics, Princess Charlotte beams with confidence on the steps of her Kensington Palace home.
The tiny tot looks stylish rocking a retro red overcoat by Amaia Kids, a pony print backpack by Cath Kidston, grey stockings, red leather buckle-up shoes, a pink scarf and a red bow in her shiny brunette locks.
Alongside the album, the palace explained in a statement: “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share two photographs of Princess Charlotte at Kensington Palace this morning.”
“The images were taken by The Duchess shortly before Princess Charlotte left for her first day of nursery at the Willcocks Nursery School.”
And it’s not the first time the art history graduate has stepped behind the lens.
Catherine photographed a stunning series of images which showed a proud Prince George cradling his baby sister just weeks after her birth and back in May 2015.
Kate yet again played shutterbug for Charlotte’s first and second birthday portraits.
And it looks like Catherine’s love of the camera comes from her father, Michael Middleton.
Steering away from professional photographers, the 36-year-old asked her dad to take her family’s first official portrait with a newborn Prince George back in August 2013.
Using his humble “point and shoot”, the besotted granddad captured a sleeping George in his mum’s arms with William by their side.

Both Kate and Michael have captured some stunning moments in their kids’ lives.
Breaking from tradition, the photo was set in the Middletons’ sun-soaked back garden in Berkshire, along with the family pets Lupo and Tilly – making for a refreshingly normal look into the lives of the modern day royals.
According to her official profile page on the British Monarchy website, the mother-of-two has quite an eye for getting the perfect shot.
“The Duchess’s enthusiasm for photography saw her taking photographs as part of her role during her time working within Party Pieces, a family company owned and run by her parents,” it explained. While adding she also loves painting.

Princess Charlotte has kicked off 2018 with a bang, starting the first chapter of her education at Willcocks Nursery School in London.
To mark the milestone the adorable two-year-old posed for a series of portraits taken by her avid photographer mother, The Duchess of Cambridge, on Monday January 8.
Isn’t she precious!
To mark her first birthday, Prince William’s wife treated us with four snaps of her Princess.
The photos were taken in April, 2016 at Anmer Hall in Norfolk.
Seriously, those eyes are just divine.
Her proud mama sure knows how to capture a magical moment.
Royal Family predictions for the year ahead
In 2015, the budding photographer shared a series of four images of Charlotte with her big brother, George, just weeks after her May birth.
George, then 22 months, was seen tenderly holding his baby sister, marking the first official images of the princess.
A kiss for his little English rose.
Surprising the world, the British Royal Family released a set of stunning new portraits of Princess Charlotte, just six months after welcoming her.
The adorable six-month-old lit up the camera thanks to a very familiar photographer, her mummy!
Catherine not only inherited her father’s striking features, but also his love for the lens.
Breaking from tradition, Catherine asked her dad to take her family’s first official portrait with a baby Prince George back in August 2013.
Using his humble “point and shoot”, the photo was set in the Middletons’ sun-soaked back garden in Berkshire. Capturing an intimate moment of a sleeping George cradled in his mum’s arms with William by their side. Also making the shot were the family pets Lupo and Tilly.
But it’s not just Michael who knows how to take a good pic.
Carole took this darling snap of her two girls Catherine and little sister, Pippa, in Jerash, Jordan, where the family lived for two-and-a-half years.
Proud papa Michael took this snap of his eldest daughter.
We can already see that Charlotte will inherit her mother’s chocolate features. The Middleton family shared this pretty photo of when Kate was just five years old.
We wonder if Princess Charlotte and Prince George will follow in their parents’ footsteps and attend St Andrews University in Scotland?
