Natural baby photography in Bristol – relaxed photo sessions at home

Hi, I’m Alison, a Bristol newborn and baby photographer with over a decade of experience photographing babies and children.

I work with families across Bristol, Bath, Gloucestershire and Somerset, capturing those early days with a mix of honest, candid moments and timeless portraits.

The early weeks fly by in a blur of little details and big emotions. Let me help you remember them!

"We are so pleased with our newborn pictures, they are absolutely gorgeous! Alison was fantastic and made us feel totally at ease. Would 100% recommend Alison, thank you!”

Newborn photo sessions happen in the comfort of your own home, so there’s no need to pack up an enormous bag of things for an outing with your little one! Being in familiar surroundings helps everyone relax, making it easier to capture natural moments and genuine connection.

Book a session during your final months of pregnancy, and I’ll pencil in your due date. When your little one arrives, we’ll pick a convenient time for me to come and do the photos. The first couple of weeks is an ideal time while your baby is still tiny and sleepy!

INFO & PRICING

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some of the most common questions I receive. Take a look, and feel free to contact me if you have any others!

What areas do you cover?
I cover Bristol, Bath, Gloucestershire and North Somerset. All travel within a 30-mile radius of Portishead (my home) is included. Outside of this, there is a supplementary fee of 45p per mile. I can travel further so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’re not in the areas above.
Why should I book a newborn photoshoot during the first two weeks?
During the first two weeks, newborns are typically very sleepy, allowing us to capture those serene, curled-up poses that reflect their time in the womb. Their delicate features are also at their most defined during this period, making it the perfect time to preserve these details.
Do you have a studio?
I work entirely on location and bring the session to you! Whether it’s in the comfort of your home or another favorite spot, I create beautiful, natural images in a setting that feels most personal to you.
How much will it cost?
The cost depends on the package you choose. To secure your booking, a deposit of £100 is required at the time of booking. I am currently offering three newborn and baby photo packages.
How do I book?
Just get in touch via email or my contact form. We’ll choose a date and I’ll send you my online booking form and a link to pay your deposit.
Do you offer gift vouchers?
Yes! You can purchase photography gift vouchers available as a physical voucher or e-voucher. Please see gift vouchers for details.
What if my child is ill?
I am happy to reschedule your photoshoot to another date at no extra cost. Please try to give me as much notice as possible.
Will the photos be in colour or black and white?
You’ll receive a mix of both color and black and white photos, carefully chosen to suit each image and bring out its best qualities.

Blog story - Bristol newborn photoshoot | Bristol Baby Photographer

There’s something incredibly special about those early days with a newborn – quiet moments, the gentle rhythm, and the beginning of a bond that will last a lifetime. Here are a few photos from a beautiful home session with a new mum and her two-week-old baby boy.

Shooting in the comfort of your own home helps everything feel calm and unhurried. Familiar surroundings mean both mum and baby can relax, which shows in the images – soft, genuine moments without any pressure or fuss.

This session was a quiet celebration of new motherhood. Just a mum and her son, at the very start of their journey together. The images are full of warmth and tenderness – one day it will be a reminder of how it all began.

If you’re in Bristol or nearby and would love to capture your baby’s early days in a natural, relaxed way, I’d love to hear from you. Newborn sessions take place in your home and focus on honest moments that tell your story.
