Family photography

Family photos don’t need to feel awkward, staged, or stressful. They can be relaxed, connected, and genuinely joyful.

At home, in your garden, at a local park, or somewhere you love to spend time together as a family.

My family photoshoots are relaxed, with space for things to unfold naturally. Children can move, explore and be themselves, while I photograph the laughter, the small moments of connection, and the details that are so easy to miss at the time.

Alongside this, I include a few guided portraits - simple, natural, and never overdone.

The result is a collection of family photographs that feel honest and true to you - images that capture this stage of your family's life, and become part of your story in the years to come.

Your date

Get in touch and we’ll find a date that works for your family. We can do your photos at home, in your garden, or at a favourite park or outdoor space - wherever you feel most comfortable.

Your photoshoot

We’ll spend around an hour together. I’ll guide you when needed, but there’s no pressure for anyone to “perform.” The best moments usually happen in between - cuddles, laughter, little looks, and movement. It’s about capturing your family as you are.

Your photographs

Each image is carefully edited. Around two weeks later, you'll receive a private online gallery to view. Your gallery will include 40+ beautifully edited images (the full story of your photoshoot). Most families find it hard to narrow down, and you don't have to, but you can also choose a smaller collection if you'd prefer.

“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 romantic, timeless, and 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 a family. We’re incredibly grateful and can’t recommend Alison enough!”
