AIMEE LAOISE PHOTOGRAPHY - FAMILY
Savouring the days of childhood. Wild babes in their element, moments of pure connection
BRISTOL FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
Because these are the days.
We only have a finite number of years with our children before they’re grown. So many yet so few, each one simultaneously our hardest struggle and greatest joy. Parenthood; it’s an experience like no other.
My aim is to capture you just as you are. Wild, free, full of emotion. I never expect smiles or perfect behaviour, I won’t ask for anything but for you to be your true selves. Family photography with me is a practice in being. An hour to truly sink into yourselves and embrace connection. Run free with your children and feel the sand between your toes, roll in the grass and laugh in the sunshine, let yourself be, if only for a while.
Every day our children grow and change, right before our eyes yet we never seem to notice until it’s too late. Until they’ve morphed into yet another perfect form of themselves, a whole new person for us to learn and grow alongside. Don’t let these moments pass you by. Document it. If not for now, then for the decades ahead. Relish in the childhood days, for they don’t last forever.
All the joy, all the chaos
We’ll adventure to the beach, to the woods, immerse ourselves in nature and let the sunshine glaze over us. My sessions are always gently prompted, not posed. I’ll set up a scene and let it fall apart, capturing all the beauty in the candid moments. I want to capture childhood in all its beautiful chaos. The laughter, the tears, the tantrums, the happiness. All the emotions that encapsulate the beauty of those younger years.
Your children will be our guide, I’ll never force a smile. We’ll take a beat and watch the world through the eyes of your child, soaking in the small moments. The sound of the ocean, the feeling of grass beneath our feet. Each story is so perfectly unique to you, I’ve never shot two family sessions that feel the same. Embrace your inner child and let yourself just be with your loved ones. Connection is everything, just close your eyes and breathe in the moment.

I’ll never make you shoot in bad weather - don’t worry! We can simply push the session back until the storms clear, or if the rain is light and you’re up for an adventure we can dance in the downpour and make the best of it!

I have a dedicated guide that I’ll send you upon booking chock full of styling tips and advice. I advise earthy tones, textures and flowy fabrics that make you feel beautiful and mimic the environment and colours we’ll be shooting in!

I’m the mother of a fiercely independent 4-year-old (she’s a Leo sun - do I need to say more?) I never expect your children to be perfect. We will embrace the chaos, tears and joy as they come. I will never be put off by the wildness of childhood, however it manifests. Let your children be their wonderful selves, we will follow their lead and make it fun
