Sally Notton Photography

I’m Sally Notton, a Clevedon-based family photographer who specialises in creating relaxed, natural family portraits that feel honest and timeless. My work is rooted in a simple belief: the best photographs come from real connection, not stiff poses. Whether we’re capturing a chaotic playtime with toddlers, a quiet newborn cuddle, or a multi-generation family portrait, I aim to preserve the little gestures and spontaneous expressions that tell your family’s story. My approach is gentle, patient and child-led. I build a calm atmosphere that helps even the most camera-shy children relax — a few games, familiar routines, and a lot of laughter usually do the trick. For newborn sessions I prioritise warmth and safety, moving at a pace that suits baby and parents while focusing on those intimate moments you’ll want to keep forever. Natural light, unobtrusive direction and a documentary eye are the hallmarks of my style: I combine a few flattering, classic poses with plenty of candid storytelling images. Working with families in Clevedon and the surrounding coast, I tailor each session to your needs. Before the photoshoot we’ll have a friendly chat about what matters most to you — favourite locations, wardrobe tips, and any must-have shots — so the session feels personal and relaxed from the outset. On the day I guide gently, capture genuine interactions, and help you feel at ease in front of the camera. The result is a collection of images that reflect your family’s personality, not a catalogue of staged poses. I love seeing prints and albums bring families together across generations, so I’m happy to advise on how best to display and share your images.
