SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE NEWBORN & BABY PHOTOGRAPHER
Natural newborn photography at home
Hello! I’m Alison, a South Gloucestershire newborn & baby photographer
I specialise in home-based newborn and baby photography for families across Gloucestershire who want photos that feel natural, honest and relaxed.
With over 10 years’ experience photographing newborns safely in their own homes, I create timeless photographs you’ll come back to long after these early days have passed.
Those early days are brief, often a blur, and quietly transformative, filled with small moments that don’t last long, but matter deeply.
Whether this is your first baby or your fourth, sessions are designed to be calm, flexible, and guided every step of the way.
“Thank you so much for a lovely newborn photo experience! You made things so easy and enjoyable and the pictures are absolutely gorgeous! Cannot recommend you highly enough!!”

Home newborn sessions are completely baby-led
Every baby is different, so my photo sessions flow around feeding, cuddling, settling, and taking breaks whenever you need. I work with soft natural light, gentle guidance, and a relaxed pace that keeps everything comfortable — for you and your baby.
There’s no rushing and no expectation to perform. Just a calm, familiar environment where real moments can unfold naturally.
What happens during a newborn photoshoot?
Most of the session focuses on natural family moments - holding your baby, sitting together, standing by a window, simply being close. I’ll gently guide you into comfortable positions while keeping everything feeling relaxed.
I’ll also take a few simple portraits of your baby on their own, either on your bed or on my soft bean bag, always keeping them comfortable and supported.
When should we book a photoshoot?
You’re welcome to book at any stage during pregnancy so I can pencil in your due date.
Once your baby arrives, we’ll choose a day that feels right for you, often within the first couple of weeks, while they’re still tiny and sleepy. That said, there’s no rush. Older newborns and young babies bring just as much warmth, expression, and character to their photos.
Where in Gloucestershire do you offer newborn photography?
I photograph newborns and babies all over Gloucestershire but mainly South Glos: Berkeley, Thornbury, Wootton-under-Edge, Kingswood, Yate, Dursley, Gloucester, Stroud, Painswick, Chipping Sodbury, Winterbourne, Almondsbury, Frampton Cotterell, Tockington, Frampton on Severn, Tortworth.
How much does a newborn photoshoot in Gloucestershire cost?
My newborn photo sessions are £125. After your session, you’ll receive a private online gallery with 40+ beautifully edited photographs to view in your own time. From there, you can choose the collection that feels right for you.

About Alison newborn & baby photographer
I’ve been photographing babies for over a decade now, and I spend most of my time either at home with my own family or working with other families. I’m very used to the realities of family life — the unpredictability, the noise, the quiet moments, and everything in between.
I know how tender and tiring those early weeks can feel. My approach is gentle and unhurried — I’m happy to pause for feeds, cuddles, or simply a moment to breathe. You don’t need a perfectly tidy house or a “camera-ready” baby. We work with whatever the day brings.
