Bath FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
natural family Photoshoots at home or outdoors across Bath
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.
I photograph families in Bath and the surrounding areas - Larkhall, Bathampton, Batheaston - and often we find ourselves in places like the Botanical Gardens or among the trees and open spaces of Royal Victoria Park or Alice Park. Somewhere with room to move and space to explore.
Children drift away, then come back again. They explore, they pause, they stay close. And in between, I’m there to capture the small moments - a hand held, a glance, a burst of laughter. The kinds of things 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 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 as 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.

Best locations for family photos in Bath
Bath has so many beautiful settings for family photos, from wide green spaces to quiet corners within the city.
Royal Victoria Park & Botanical Gardens
Royal Victoria Park and the Botanical Gardens are always lovely for family photos. The winding paths, beautiful trees and open lawns give children space to explore while we capture relaxed natural moments together.
Alexandra Park

About Alison Bath Family photographer
Hi, I’m Ali and 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 these stages pass and how important it is to capture them 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 allows me to work calmly and intuitively, creating photographs that feel honest, comfortable, and reflective of your family as you are right now.
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.
