BATH FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
Natural family photoshoots at home or outdoors across Bath
Welcome! I’m a family photographer based near Bristol, offering relaxed photoshoots all over Bath and surrounding areas such as Larkhall, Batheaston, Bathford, Widcombe, Combe Down and Weston. Places like Royal Victoria Park, the Botanical Gardens, Alexandra Park, or Bath skyline work beautifully for a family photoshoot with plenty of space to move and explore!
My photo sessions are child-led, giving children the freedom to be as they are - to wander, to play, to stay close when they need to.
Children explore. They come back to you. They drift away again. And in between, there are small moments, a hand held, a glance, a burst of laughter, that pass almost as soon as they appear.
I’ll also bring you together for a few portraits, paying attention to the light and the surroundings, so they feel natural, well balanced, and easy.
These photographs become something you can come back to. The closeness, the rhythm of it, the way this stage of life was, before it shifted into the next.
“Alison was warm, professional, and helpful. She made us feel completely at ease during the photoshoot. The photos… Wow! We instantly fell in love with every single one of them. They’re timeless and full of emotion. Exactly what we had hoped for, and more. This shoot turned out to be one of the most meaningful gifts we could give ourselves as a couple and a family. We’re incredibly grateful and can’t recommend Alison enough!”

What happens during a family photoshoot?
Some families prefer the comfort of home, while others enjoy heading to a local park or green space. Both work beautifully and help keep the photos relaxed and natural.
Your photoshoot lasts around an hour and is more like a family walk together. There’s no pressure to pose or perform. I allow plenty of time for children to explore and interact in their own way.

I regularly photograph families all over Bath: Combe Down, Larkhall, Weston, Widcombe, Claverton Down, Bear Flat, Corston, Bathford, Batheaston, Bathampton, Chippenham, Saltford, Charlcombe, Bradford on Avon, Keynsham
I also travel for family photoshoots across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire, depending on availability.

About Alison Bath family photographer
I’m Ali. I’ve been photographing all kinds of families for over a decade now, working with parents who want natural relaxed photos of their family.
As a mum myself, I understand how quickly childhood goes by and how important it is to capture it without adding pressure or expectation.
I spend most of my time either at home with my own family or at work with other families, which means I’m very used to the realities of family life - the unpredictability, the noise, the quiet moments, and everything in between. That familiarity helps me to create photographs that feel honest, comfortable, and genuine.
I regularly photograph families across Bath and the surrounding areas, and over the years I’ve come to know many of the parks, quiet corners and outdoor spaces that work beautifully for relaxed family photos.
