LIVA Studio

LIVA Studio is a family photography specialist based in Henleaze, Bristol. Led by Maggie — a mother and former nurse who brings seven years of professional experience and a deeply empathetic approach — LIVA focuses on creating relaxed, timeless family portraits that feel like you. Why choose LIVA Studio? Maggie’s background means she understands how to work gently and patiently with babies and children, and how to put parents at ease. That calm, caring presence combined with a confident artistic eye produces images that are both beautiful and honest. Whether you’re after a classic family portrait, children’s photography, a newborn session or a milestone birthday or baptism shoot, LIVA positions family at the heart of every story she photographs. What makes the approach special is the studio experience itself. Sessions are designed to be comfortable and tailored: a pre-shoot consultation and session planning guide help shape the look and feel, and a thoughtful wardrobe selection—Italian silks, curated dresses and studio props—is available to complement your vision. On the day, Maggie guides poses and interactions to capture genuine moments rather than staged smiles, creating photographs that reflect the real warmth and personality of your family. How LIVA works with clients is simple and personal. You’ll receive clear guidance before the session, a calm, welcoming atmosphere in the studio and patient, friendly direction throughout the shoot. Afterward there’s a viewing and ordering session where you choose the images you love and discuss prints or wall art. Final images are delivered via a private online gallery for easy download and sharing. LIVA Studio’s philosophy is that family photography should feel empowering, effortless and joyous. Maggie is driven by a genuine passion for preserving fleeting moments — tiny hands, sleepy newborn expressions, a child’s curious glance — and she treats every shoot as an opportunity to craft lasting keepsakes. If you’re in Bristol and looking for professional family photos that combine expert care, stylish styling and a warm, relaxed session, LIVA Studio offers a specialist, family-first approach that puts your loved ones front and centre.
