Outdoor Sessions in Bath + Bristol
Relaxed, natural family photography designed to feel easy, calm and beautifully unforced.
I photograph a small number of families each month so every session feels relaxed, personal and unhurried.
Weekend morning sessions take place in woodland locations easily accessible from both Bath and Bristol.

Weekend Morning Sessions
I offer just four sessions per month, held on Saturday or Sunday mornings, April – October.
Why mornings?
-
Softer, more flattering light
-
Happier, more energetic children
-
Quieter outdoor spaces
-
A calmer, more relaxed atmosphere
Limiting sessions allows me to give each family the attention and care they deserve — and ensures your experience never feels rushed.
Outdoor Locations
Sessions take place in beautiful, hand-selected outdoor locations across Bristol and Bath. Each setting is chosen for natural light, space for children to explore, and ease of access.
You can choose from:
-
Open green spaces with light and colour
-
Woodland paths and nature trails
-
Riverside or peaceful meadow-style settings
Exact meeting points are confirmed once your date is secured, allowing flexibility around seasons and local events.

Including Your Dog
Dogs are very welcome — they’re part of the family too.
To keep things relaxed and enjoyable, it’s helpful if another adult can assist when needed so we can capture a lovely mix of everyone together and individual family moments.
