Bristol family photoshoot at Ashton Court

Bristol family photographer

Finding a family photoshoot location that offers natural beauty and plenty of space for children to explore is key.

Ashton Court in Bristol provides the perfect setting for capturing beautiful family pictures. With its open fields, wooded areas, and interesting green spaces, it’s a place where families can relax, enjoy nature, and create lasting memories while having fun together. I love using it for exactly this reason.  Ashton Court is one of Bristol’s gems!

For families with children, especially toddlers or young kids, the estate offers the freedom to explore and be themselves. The wide, open spaces provide the perfect place for little ones to run around, play, and interact with their surroundings. This makes for not only fun family moments but also natural, candid photos that reflect the real energy and joy of childhood.

The natural lighting at Ashton Court is another huge advantage. Whether it’s a sunny day or slightly overcast, the estate’s open spaces allow for beautiful, soft natural light to illuminate your family photos.

It can also double as a fun day out for the family. After doing your family pictures, you can take some time to enjoy the estate together.  Go for a walk through the park, have a picnic on the lawn, have a hot chocolate in the cafe, or just explore the trails and open areas!

I did a photography session for this little toddler who was full of energy and curiosity. He spent an hour joyfully exploring, climbing steps, checking out the daffodils in the fields, and investigating the pathways and gates.
