I’m Ali J, a family photographer based in Nottingham, working across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and the wider East Midlands and happy to shoot elsewhere too! I specialise in natural, relaxed family photography, capturing real moments, genuine connection and the everyday magic of family life. My approach is calm and unobtrusive, focusing on honest storytelling – without stiff poses or forced smiles.

My family sessions are about telling your story as it really is: playful, emotional, imperfect and full of love.

Extended family fun!

Family Shoot in Padley gorge

A fantastic family shoot.

“Ali is absolutely brilliant! We wanted some family photos but with reluctant teenagers I was doubtful we would get any good shots, but somehow Ali managed to get genuine natural smiles and laughter and the results were beyond anything I could have hoped for.” – Eloise

Whatever your child’s age, I tailor your photoshoot around you as a family: the things you enjoy, how you laugh and the things you love, making sure we capture unique images for you.
