Alle Bruce Photography

I’m Alle — a Mexican living and loving life in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, and I specialise in family photography. Being a mum of two has shaped the way I work: I value the small, chaotic, utterly beautiful moments that make family life unique. My aim is to help you freeze those fleeting conversations, silly faces and quiet embraces so they become the images you reach for again and again. Why choose me as your family photographer in Hitchin? I shoot in a documentary, lifestyle way that puts real life first. I don’t rely on stiff poses or forced smiles — instead I create a relaxed atmosphere where natural interactions lead the session. That means you get honest, emotive photos that show how your family really is, not how it looks when everyone is trying to perform for the camera. My approach is gentle and practical. Before the shoot we’ll chat about what matters most to you and choose a location that feels right — whether that’s a favourite local park, a seasonal field of flowers or somewhere closer to home. During the session I’ll give simple prompts and light direction when needed, but mostly I watch and capture the authentic moments: the way a child curls up on a parent’s lap, the spontaneous laughter between siblings, the proud glance of grandparents. I work quickly to keep things fun and natural, especially with little ones. What makes my work different is a blend of warmth and experience. Over years of photographing families and weddings I’ve learned how to put people at ease and to see the tiny details that tell your story. My images are light-filled, timeless and full of feeling — perfect for walls, albums and the messages you’ll pass down.

I love creating an easy, enjoyable experience that results in photographs you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
