Somerset Family Photographer
Family and children photoshoots in Somerset
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.
I’ve been a professional family photographer for many years working with children of all ages, as well as plenty of babies and newborns. My approach blends natural, storytelling photography with classic portraits, ensuring you receive a collection of images that feel both genuine and beautifully composed. Natural family photography captures the unposed, candid moments that reflect your family’s true connection, while portrait photography allows for some carefully guided shots with the best light and angles – creating a well-rounded gallery of memories.
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.
“Alison is amazing! The photoshoot was so much fun and Alison made it really enjoyable for the kids. She is super patient. The photos are incredible! Thank you for a wonderful experience and beautiful photos.”
Outdoor photoshoot locations in Somerset
Your photoshoot can be at home or we can meet at a location of your choice for a relaxed hour outside – the old victorian seafront in Clevedon, Portishead marina, Cheddar Gorge, Chew Valley Lake are a few great places in Somerset for a photoshoot. If you prefer your local park or nearby field, that’s absolutely fine, too. You can try somewhere new or we can just meet at a place you know your family loves.
“We really wanted someone who would be able to capture our son at his smiley best and you certainly did that! You were brilliant with him and we absolutely love our photos, we can’t wait to get them up on the wall. Thank you!”
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
What is the best time for a family photoshoot in Somerset?
The best time for family photoshoots in Somerset depends on the look and feel you’d like to achieve! If you prefer a shoot with seasonal backdrops, Spring offers vibrant blooms, Summer has lush greenery and long daylight hours, Autumn provides stunning orange and red foliage, and Winter can be magical with crisp light. If you’re unsure, I’m happy to suggest the perfect time based on your preferred style, location, or family schedule.
Do you have a studio?
All my work is done on location. For family shoots, I specialize in capturing natural, authentic moments in beautiful outdoor settings like parks, woods, and open fields. If you’d rather have a more relaxed and personal setting, I can also come to your home for a comfortable, familiar atmosphere.
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 family photo packages.
How do I book?
Booking is easy! You can contact me here or email me directly at info@alisontaylorphotography.co.uk. Once I receive your email, I’ll get back to you to arrange a date for your photoshoot and send you a booking form to secure your session.
Do you offer gift vouchers?
Yes! You can purchase photography gift vouchers available as a physical voucher or e-voucher. Great for any occasion! Please see gift vouchers for details.
What happens if it rains?
If the weather turns out to be unsuitable on the day of your photoshoot, don’t worry — we’ll reschedule at no extra cost. While an overcast day works perfectly fine, we’ll rearrange if it’s pouring with rain to ensure the best conditions for your session.
What if my child is ill?
Don’t worry! I am happy to reschedule your photoshoot to another date at no extra cost. Please try to give me as much notice as possible.
How do we get the photos?
You’ll receive your photos through a private online gallery, making it easy to view and share them. I’ll send you the link a couple of weeks after the photoshoot.
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.
