Chloe Skidmore Photography

I’m Chloe, a family and child photographer based in Bridgwater, Somerset. My work centres on natural, storytelling family photography — the small, unscripted moments that reveal who you truly are. Whether we’re wandering a favourite beach, exploring local countryside or settling into your home, I focus on capturing relaxed, authentic interactions rather than staged poses. Why choose me? I bring a calm, friendly approach that quickly puts children (and adults) at ease. As a parent myself, I understand how fleeting family life can feel, and I aim to create images that feel honest, warm and full of personality. My style is unobtrusive and light-handed: I watch, wait and step in when the moment is right so your photos feel like a story, not a set of directions. How I work with you is simple and collaborative. We start with a conversation about what matters most to your family — favourite places, little rituals, and the mood you want to remember. On the day I create a relaxed atmosphere, encouraging natural play and connection rather than formal posing. I love sessions that feel like an adventure: kids running, cuddles on the sofa, or a quiet, candid exchange between siblings. Those are the images that become treasured keepsakes. Although my primary focus is family and children photography across Bridgwater and the wider Somerset area, I also photograph weddings and special celebrations when asked. My promise is the same in every setting: unobtrusive storytelling that captures genuine feeling. Outside of sessions I’m often road-tripping with my husband Mike, our son Felix and our Westie Paddy — hunting down a beach to wander along — and those relaxed family moments inform how I photograph yours. If you’re looking for a family photographer who values authenticity, warmth and a storytelling approach, I’d love to hear about your plans and help create images you’ll return to again and again. With warm wishes, Chloe
