BRISTOL FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
Natural family photoshoots at home or outdoors across Bristol
Welcome! I’m a family photographer based near Bristol, offering relaxed photoshoots all over Bristol and surrounding areas such as Clifton, Westbury-on-Trym, Long Ashton, Abbots Leigh and Failand. Places like Ashton Court, Leigh Woods, Blaise Castle, and Oldbury Court work beautifully for family photoshoots 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.
“We really wanted someone who would be able to capture our son at his smiley best and you certainly did that! You were brilliant with him and we absolutely love our photos, we can’t wait to get them up on the wall. Thank you!”

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. I’ll guide you when needed, but most of the time we simply let the children lead the way. There’s no pressure to pose or perform. I allow plenty of time for children to explore and interact in their own way.
Where do you offer family photoshoots?
I regularly photograph families all over Bristol: Clifton, Redland, Bishopston, Henleaze, Stoke Bishop, Westbury-on-Trym, Bedminster, Brislington, Frenchay, Bradley Stoke, Stoke Gifford, Emersons Green, Long Ashton, Failand, Abbots Leigh, Wraxall, Keynsham, Winterbourne
I also travel for family sessions across Bath, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire, depending on availability.
How much does a family photoshoots cost?
My family photoshoots are £95. After your shoot, you receive a private online gallery with 40+ edited photographs to view in your own time. From there, you can choose the collection that feels right for you.

About Alison - Bristol Family photographer
Hi, I’m Ali. I’ve been photographing families for over a decade, 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.
I live in North Somerset and 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 Bristol and North Somerset, and over the years I’ve come to know many of the parks and outdoor locations that work beautifully for family photos.
