SOMERSET FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

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

Hi, I’m Alison, a family photographer based in Portishead, North Somerset.

For more than ten years I’ve been lucky enough to photograph families all over Somerset - from newborn cuddles and wobbly first steps to teenagers getting ready to fly the nest! It’s always a privilege to be invited into these moments, and I never take that trust for granted.

Every family has its own story, and my aim is to capture yours in a way that feels natural, genuine and timeless. My sessions are relaxed and child-led. I’ll guide you gently when it helps, but never so much that it feels staged - the best photos always come from real moments.

FAVOUTRITE SOMERSET LOCATIONS FOR FAMILY PHOTOS

Somerset has so many beautiful places for relaxed, natural family photography, from open countryside and rolling hills to pretty villages and woodlands. Some favourite spots include Chew Valley Lake, The Mendip Hills, Clevedon seafront, Berrow Beach, Black Nore Lighthouse coastline in Portishead. If you’d prefer somewhere quieter, there are plenty of hidden gems - peaceful fields and country lanes around Blagdon, Wrington, or Wedmore, and plenty of woodland walks that are perfect for family photos with a natural, outdoor feel. Or, we can simply meet somewhere familiar - your home, garden, or a local park that your family loves. The setting matters less than the laughter, connection, and moments you share together.

HOW IT WORKS

My family sessions are relaxed, child-led, and full of genuine moments. We’ll choose a location in Somerset 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.
