BRISTOL FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

Natural family photos in Bristol, capturing your family as you are right now.

Hi, I’m Alison, a family photographer based in Portishead, near Bristol.

For over a decade, families across Bristol and Somerset have trusted me to create beautiful, timeless photographs of their most important moments - from newborn cuddles and first steps to teenagers leaving home and heading out into the world.

Family life moves fast. Between the school runs, the noise, and the everyday chaos, it’s easy to forget to pause and just see how special these days really are. My sessions are about doing exactly that - slowing down, having fun together, and capturing your family as you are right now.

FAVOURITE BRISTOL LOCATIONS FOR FAMILY PHOTOS

Bristol has such a lovely mix of open green spaces and city energy - perfect for relaxed, natural family photography. Some favourite spots include Ashton Court, with its wide open fields and easy parking, Blaise Castle Estate for woodland walks and open meadows, and Leigh Woods, which has beautiful light and a peaceful feel. Troopers Hill and Stoke Park are great for colourful backdrops and views across the city, while the Clifton Observatory and Suspension Bridge area offers both iconic scenery and some quiet green corners nearby. If you’d prefer something more familiar, I’m always happy to meet you at your home, garden, or a local park your family loves. The location matters less than the laughter, connection, and moments you share together.

WHAT IF…?

What if it rains? We’ll reschedule for another day at no extra cost.

What if my children don’t play ball? That’s totally fine! Most of the best moments come from letting kids just be themselves.

What should we wear? Simple, comfortable clothes that reflect your family’s style. I’ll send you a short guide before the session to help.

These sessions are meant to be stress-free - no pressure, no posing, just real family moments!

HOW MY PHOTO SESSIONS WORK

My family sessions are relaxed, child-led, and full of genuine moments. We’ll choose a location around Bristol or shoot at your home, and spend around an hour together capturing a mix of natural interactions and a few gentle, timeless portraits. I’ll guide you just enough to help things flow, but never so much that it feels posed or forced. My aim is for it to feel like a relaxed family walk! A couple of weeks later, you’ll receive a private online gallery of around 40 images to view, share, and choose from. Find out exactly how it works.

Sessions start at £95. View full 2025 pricing and package options.
