Bristol Newborn & Baby Photographer
Natural home newborn photography
Welcome! I’m a newborn and baby photographer based near Bristol, offering newborn photoshoots to families in their own home all over Bristol and surrounding areas such as Clifton, Westbury-on-Trym, Long Ashton, Abbots Leigh and Failand.
Being in your own space helps everything feel calm and familiar for both you and your baby.
With over 10 years’ experience photographing newborns in their own homes, I create timeless photographs you’ll come back to long after these early days have passed.
Those early days are brief, often a blur, and quietly transformative, filled with small moments that don’t last long, but matter deeply.
Whether this is your first baby or your fourth, sessions are designed to be calm, flexible, and guided every step of the way.
“Thank you so much for a lovely newborn photo experience! You made things so easy and enjoyable and the pictures are absolutely gorgeous! Cannot recommend you highly enough!!”

Newborn photoshoots that are baby-led
My photo sessions flow around feeding, cuddling, changing nappies, settling, and taking breaks whenever you need. I work with soft natural light, gentle guidance, and a relaxed pace that keeps everything comfortable — for you and your baby.
There’s no rushing and no expectation to perform. Just a calm, familiar environment where real moments can unfold naturally.
What happens during a newborn photoshoot?
Most of the session focuses on natural family moments - holding your baby, sitting together, standing by a window, simply being close. I’ll guide you a little while keeping everything feeling relaxed.
I’ll also take a few simple portraits of your baby on their own, either on your bed or on my soft bean bag, always keeping them comfortable and supported.
When should we book a photoshoot?
You’re welcome to book at any stage during pregnancy so I can pencil in your due date.
Once your baby arrives, we’ll choose a day that feels right for you, often within the first couple of weeks, while they’re still tiny and sleepy. That said, there’s no rush. Older newborns and young babies bring just as much warmth, expression, and character to their photos.
Where in Bristol do you offer your newborn photoshoots?
I photograph newborns and babies all over Bristol: Clifton, Redland, Bishopston, Henleaze, Stoke Bishop, Westbury-on-Trym, Bedminster, Brislington, Frenchay, Bradley Stoke, Stoke Gifford, Emersons Green, Long Ashton. I also travel to Bath and cover North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire, depending on availability.
How much does a newborn shoot cost?
My newborn photoshoots are £125. 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 newborn & baby photographer
Hi, I’m Ali. I’ve been photographing newborns and babies for over a decade now. I spend most of my time either at home with my own family or working with other families so I’m very used to the realities of family life — the unpredictability, the noise, the quiet moments, and everything in between.
I know how tender and tiring those early weeks can feel. My approach is gentle and relaxed — I’m happy to pause for feeds, cuddles, or simply a moment to breathe. You don’t need a perfectly tidy house or a “camera-ready” baby. We work with whatever the day brings.
