Kamara Photography

Kamara Photography is a specialist family photography studio in Bristol, led by Kimberley — a mum who knows how to make families feel at ease. As an award-winning family photographer, Kimberley’s approach is gentle, conversational and playful, designed to capture the true personality and connection between parents, children and siblings rather than stiff, posed studio shots. Why choose Kamara Photography? Kimberley builds a relaxed atmosphere where everyone can be themselves. Her experience with newborns and babies informs how she works with families: patience, timing and calm are everything. Little ones are welcomed into a studio that feels like home, with a dedicated play area, thoughtful props, and a friendly manner that clients often describe as ‘baby whisperer’ level. That means more natural smiles, candid moments and images you’ll want on your walls. The creative style favours timeless, natural portraits — a mix of warm, emotive family portraits and playful, character-driven children photography. Kimberley guides each family through poses and interactions so you don’t need to worry about looking “camera ready.” Her goal is to capture stories: the quiet cuddle, the unplanned giggle, the relationship between siblings. Newborn and baby moments are included naturally as part of a family session when desired, handled with the same gentle care and attention. How the session feels: expect a personalised, unrushed experience. Kimberley takes time to connect with each child, uses props and backdrops thoughtfully, and adapts the session to suit the mood of the family on the day. After the shoot you’ll be invited to a viewing where Kimberley helps you select the images that best tell your family’s story and advises on display options that will suit your home and style. Based in Fishponds, Bristol, Kamara Photography specialises in capturing family life in a way that’s both beautiful and honest. With limited bookings to ensure personalised care, Kimberley focuses on quality, emotion and a comfortable studio experience that makes families return year after year. If you want relaxed, timeless family portraits from a photographer who truly understands children and newborns, Kamara Photography offers a calm, expert, and deeply personal service.
