Portishead & Clevedon Family Photographer
Family photography in Portishead and North Somerset
I’m Alison, a Portishead family photographer with over a decade of experience photographing babies, children, families, and celebrations.
I specialise in natural, relaxed images taken at home or outdoors.
I offer natural family photography across North Somerset, capturing families with a mix of honest, candid moments and timeless portraits.
Raising children means life is messy, beautiful, and non-stop but somewhere in the middle of the chaos, I know you’d love to hold onto the connection, the laughter, and the way your family feels right now.
I’m here to get your family in some beautiful, natural photos.
Printed, framed, shared, or tucked away somewhere, these images will become part of your family’s story.
“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.”

Time moves on, and children keep growing, hold onto this part!
Your family photos aren’t just for today, they’re for your kids to look back on when they’re grown. They’re for remembering who you were, how you laughed, how you held each other close.
Whether it’s your toddler’s cheeky grin or a quiet cuddle, these are the memories you’ll want to hold onto. I guide you a little, but mostly I let your family be yourselves and that’s where the magic happens!
How it works
Your family photo session lasts about one hour with time for your children to play, explore, and be themselves. You can choose to do your photos at your home, in your garden, or meet at an outdoor location. A couple of weeks later, you’ll receive a private online gallery of carefully edited images.
Places to meet for your photos around Portishead & Clevedon
You can do your photoshoot at home, in your garden, or explore somewhere lovely in North Somerset.
The old victorian seafront in Clevedon, Portishead marina, the lakeground & gardens or Black Nore Lighthouse are all great locations. 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!
FAQs
Here are answers to some of the most common questions I receive. Take a look, and feel free to contact me if you have any others!
What areas do you cover?
I cover Bristol, Bath, Gloucestershire and Somerset. All travel within a 30-mile radius of Portishead (my home) is included. I can travel further so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’re not in the areas above.
Do you have a studio?
All my work is done on location. I specialise in capturing natural, authentic moments in outdoor settings like parks, woods and fields. If you’d rather have a more relaxed and personal setting, I can also come to your home for a comfortable, familiar environment.
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.
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?
I am happy to reschedule your photoshoot to another date at no extra cost. Please try to give me as much notice as possible.
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.
