Portishead & Clevedon Family & Baby Photographer
Hello! I’m Alison, a newborn & family photographer in Portishead
I’m Alison, a family and baby photographer based in Portishead, photographing relaxed, natural sessions across Portishead, Clevedon and the North Somerset coastline. Whether you’re welcoming a newborn, celebrating your baby’s first year, or simply wanting to capture your family as you are right now, my sessions are natural, relaxed and easy.
Natural Family Photography in Portishead & Clevedon
Family sessions are about connection. We might walk along the marina, explore the beach, or simply let the children lead the way while you cuddle, laugh and spend time together. There’s no pressure for perfect behaviour — just space for real moments.
Home-based Newborn Photography in Portishead & Clevedon
Newborn sessions take place in the comfort of your own home. They’re completely baby-led, flowing around feeding, settling and cuddles. I work with soft natural light and gentle guidance, keeping everything calm and relaxed for you and your baby.
What can I expect from a newborn photoshoot?
My newborn photoshoots are calm, gentle, and completely guided around your baby’s needs.
We’ll usually spend between one and two hours together, working with soft natural light in the comfort of your home. I’ll gently guide you into simple, natural positions while leaving space for real moments to unfold.
Within a couple of weeks after your photoshoot, you’ll receive a private online gallery with 40+ carefully edited images to view, share, and choose from.
Beautiful Places for Family Photos in Portishead & Clevedon
Portishead Marina & East Cliff beach (golden hour)
The marina is beautiful in the early evening when the light softens and reflects off the water. It’s perfect for relaxed family walks, little ones exploring, and natural moments as the sun begins to set.
Sugar Loaf Beach
Sugar Loaf Beach has a wonderfully natural, slightly windswept feel. Pebbles, open skies, and the changing tide make it ideal for playful, barefoot sessions. It’s especially lovely for families who don’t mind a bit of sea air and want something relaxed and coastal.
Battery Point
Battery Point offers wide-open views across the estuary and beautiful evening light. It’s a quieter spot with a natural backdrop, perfect if you’d like something simple and scenic without too many distractions. The space allows for calm sessions with room for little ones to explore safely.
Clevedon Pier & beach
Clevedon Pier brings a timeless, slightly nostalgic feel to photos. The structure itself adds interest without overpowering the images, and the surrounding seafront offers beautiful soft light, especially later in the day. It works well for both family sessions and gentle baby portraits with a coastal backdrop.
Coastal Path Views
The coastal path between Portishead and Clevedon offers open skies and sweeping views that feel calm and expansive. It’s perfect for families who enjoy walking together and want their session to feel more like time spent outdoors than a formal photoshoot. The scenery changes with the seasons, making each session unique.
