Alison Joanne Photography

Alison Joanne Photography is a family photography specialist based in Kingston upon Hull, dedicated to capturing the real, unscripted moments that make your family unique. With over 15 years’ experience and a gentle, patient approach, Alison builds a relaxed atmosphere where children and adults feel at ease — which is when the most honest, beautiful portraits appear. Why choose Alison Joanne? Her work centres on creating timeless, natural images that become treasured family heirlooms. From multi-generation family portraits to candid sibling moments, Alison knows how to read a scene and coax out authentic smiles. She is fully insured and DBS checked, offering parents reassurance and peace of mind during every session. What makes the approach special? Sessions are friendly and unhurried: Alison works with children’s rhythms and personality, using light-hearted prompts, simple games and a calm studio environment to keep the experience enjoyable. For newborns, sessions are baby-led — taking whatever time your little one needs so we capture curled-up sleepy poses, tiny fingers and those fleeting first expressions. Alison also offers Maternity shoots and thoughtful Bump-to-Baby options such as Bump-to-Baby and Catch Me Before I Grow, designed to document the journey from pregnancy through baby’s first milestones. How Alison works with you: Every shoot begins with a conversation to understand your vision and favourite colours or locations. Studio sessions take place in a warm, comfortable space (Whites Hire Studio, Hull) where props, backdrops and wardrobe pieces are available. After the session you’ll be invited to a relaxed viewing appointment to choose the images you love and explore wall art and framing options tailored to your home. Alison prides herself on a full-service experience — from planning and capture to careful editing and presentation — so your photographs are ready to display and enjoy for years. Beyond family portraits Alison offers a range of child-focused options — newborn, baby, cake smash and playful themed sessions — all handled with the same care and attention to detail. If you’re in Kingston upon Hull or East Yorkshire and want photographs that truly reflect your family’s personality, Alison Joanne Photography specialises in turning today’s moments into lasting memories.
