FAMILY + CHILDREN PHOTOGRAPHER

Natural family photography in Gloucestershire
My goal is to preserve this time in your family’s life together with authentic, timeless photographs. Whether displayed on your walls or kept in a book, these images will serve as a beautiful reminder to look back on for years to come.
I’ve been a professional family photographer for many years working with children of all ages, as well as plenty of babies and newborns. I specialise in lifestyle and portrait photography, and include both in my family photoshoots. Lifestyle photography is about capturing natural, authentic pictures, and portraits are more directed and set up for the best light and angles which I believe compliments the collection of images you see in your gallery after your shoot.
Years fly by, and before you know it, all you’ve got are some smartphone snapshots. Make time to remember and record this time of being together with beautiful, natural photographs to treasure.
Relaxed family photoshoots in Gloucestershire
My family photoshoots are relaxed so that you can feel at ease in front of the camera. Natural interactions and emotions pass in a few seconds during a one-hour photoshoot, but I aim to capture them, along with some more arranged shots, and you all having a bit of fun! I use natural light when I can and a variety of techniques to create photos that are both stunning and authentic.

“Alison did a family photoshoot for us in Bath as part of a celebration of my mum’s 60th birthday. We were so impressed with the whole experience – from her efficiency in organising beforehand, the quality of the shoot on the day, to the follow-up and ordering process afterward. The photos themselves are so natural and happy. Alison put us all at ease and really captured the family as we are. I would absolutely recommend her and would certainly use her skills for future events. My mum is delighted with the finished results and it was a really special part of her birthday.” ~ The Duff family
