Bristol family photography
It is amazing how fast your little ones grow up, so why wait? Don't settle for the standard photos of your family on a clinical plain backdrop. It is time to take the family to the Clifton Suspension Bridge or another cool Bristol location - why not your own home - to level up your traditional family imagery to pure awesome!
Let's get the kids together, and why not the grandparents too, for photographs around the incredible city of Bristol. It is time to capture some precious memories that not only yourselves in the present, but children and grandchildren will treasure for life.
Together we'll tell the real stories of your family. Together we'll re-write the portrait photographic rules with amazing authentic imagery and a huge dollop of fun.
Hey, I'm Gavin, and now you've found your Bristol family photographer, let's start capturing your unmissable moments together.
Ditching the boring white backdrop to bring family photography fun to Bristol
Send me a message anyway as I am happy to travel, be it Bath, The Cotswolds or even further afield.
But we dont live in bristol!
EXTENDED shoots
A taster of fun family photography for those who might not have thought about family photography before. The taster family shoots are in one location on a set 'shoot day' and consist of time slots which you can book.
Each slot allows for a 15 minute family photoshoot to capture some beautiful photographs of yourselves or your family. All photographs from the shoot will be uploaded to an online gallery in which you can create your own package. With every booking you will be gifted a print credit voucher to use towards this.
My bespoke family photography shoots can be done as a smaller taster session or an extended photography shoot at a location of your choice around Bristol or nearby.
When people talk newborn photography, you often think of these cute bundles wrapped in hats and placed in props. Well that is not how I do it! I like to keep things a little more natural. It is essentially a mini family shoot within your home. I'll get some images of your wee one alongside some of you all together as a family.
Family photography shoots are available in three unique packages. They all include the shoot fee, editing, travel within 50 miles of Bristol. Take a look at the information below and get in touch if you have any questions. I look forward to chatting with you soon!
Family photography packages include free print credits. These print credits vary depending on package but all can be used to purchase digital photographs and prints from your secure online gallery.

Fun family photography
The "24" represents the 24 hours of the day. These day in a life sessions are my way of capturing the true reality of family life...the laughter, tears, mishaps and utmost love.
I take my award winning documentary approach and create a fun experience and a day that will have a lasting great impression on your family. You'll leave with smiles and extensive photographic memories from your morning walk to your favourite park, your afternoon baking session, trip to bowling, or visit to the grandparents, ending with memories of those cosy evening snuggles.

Where are the best locations around Bristol for family photos?
The best thing about living in Bristol is the vast array of beautiful scenic backdrops for your family activities. For instance, why not:
// Take a walk around Snuff Mills
// Grab an ice-cream at the Harbourside
// Climb to the top of either Brandon or Trooper's Hill
// Ride the rock slide down to Clifton Suspension Bridge
// Splash in the fountains at Millennium Square
// Go visit animals at the City Farms
// Go and join the bears picnic at Leigh woods
However, if you fancy a change from Bristol then we could head to the picturesque town of Clevedon for some seaside vibes. My intention is to give you a relaxed photoshoot showing your everyday family interactions, whilst I shoot my documentary style with a sprinkling of fun. Family portraits and natural moments combined in a glorious way.
Which activities make for great family photographs?
Planning activities for the day provides an opportunity for a great depth of imagery. Literally anything goes, just think as me as your personal family photographer come biographer.
Are you an outdoorsy family? Take a long walk in the park or up a mountain, row a boat, go sledging during the snow, or just a surprise visit to the grandparents. The list is endless.
However, if you prefer to stay indoors, then in house activities can also provide some incredible imagery - art and painting, baking a cake, story time or even playing a simple board game. If there are tears and tantrums then awesome; it is part of being a family. In fact, you'll probably laugh at these images the most in the years to come.
Need some inspiration for your family photography session or 24 shoot?
Well I'm Gavin - A creative documentary newborn and family photographer based in Bristol
Firstly, it is awesome to meet you! I am an international award winning family photographer and now photograph families all over the UK. Every household has a different tale to tell, and every photograph I take is like creating a single page in your families story. I ensure your memories are captured in an honest and authentic way.
So, what about the non-photographer me?
So now for a little more about me. I love plants, art, cheese, of course, photographing faces! I once worked as a photographer at sea however I now live in the city of Brisot, with my fur ball Tinks.
On the days when I am not photographing families around Bristol, you will most likely find me paddle-boarding or on my bike, watching some foreign cinema or animated family film, photographing sunsets after a dip in Clevedon Marine Lake. I also love walking around Bristol harbourside with my Fuji camera, shooting street photos.
The man behind the camera
We will treasure the photos
We did a mini family photo shoot with Gavin and had a great experience. He was brilliant with our 3 year old daughter who still thinks a slight grimace is a smile for the camera and helped us all feel comfortable.
We're really happy with the results - we look like us and will treasure the photos as a snapshot of this time in our lives.

highly
We could not be happier with the result, so much more than your standard studio session. He took lots of different group photos, individual portraits and "action shots".
Gavin was very professional and super friendly and got our "family chemistry" immediately, which is reflected in the photos. Our dog loved him too!
Highly recommended!
