Specialist family photography in Bristol by Fariba Mathieson. Relaxed studio and on-location shoots for newborns, babies, children and family milestones. Natural, timeless portraits to treasure.
Make the most of your moments with a family photography specialist who knows how to put people at ease. At Catch The Moment Photo & Studio, Fariba Mathieson brings over 25 years’ experience behind the camera and a warm, neighbourly approach to every family shoot. Based in Bristol, Fariba specialises in family, baby and children photography—capturing genuine smiles, small details and the everyday connections that make your family unique. Fariba’s style is relaxed and natural. Whether you prefer the controlled calm of our studio or the character of an on-location session around Bristol, the aim is the same: comfortable sessions that let personalities shine. New parents and toddlers are treated with particular patience and care so those fleeting newborn and baby moments can be preserved in images you’ll return to again and again. How we work: from your first enquiry to the finished photographs, Catch The Moment focuses on friendly, practical service. You’ll get hands-on advice about outfits, timing and poses tailored to the ages in your family. During the shoot we foster a relaxed atmosphere—gentle direction, light conversation and a few playful prompts—so even camera-shy children begin to relax and show their true selves. After the session we help you select favourite images and offer professional finishing so your photos look their best. We believe a great family portrait should live beyond your phone. If you’d like, we can help turn your images into treasured keepsakes: archival prints, canvases and photo gifts are all available to bring those moments into your home. Our local studio also provides practical support like quick turnaround and straightforward booking so organising a session is easy. Catch The Moment is rooted in the local community—friendly, experienced and committed to delivering portraits that feel honest and timeless. If you’re in Bristol and ready to capture your family’s story—whether a new baby, a growing brood or a special milestone—get in touch and we’ll talk through how to create images you’ll love to share and display.
