If you’re thinking about booking a family photoshoot in Devon, we’re in the right place. Devon is full of stunning backdrops that make your family portraits feel natural, relaxed, and full of personality. From golden beaches to charming towns, here are my top five spots for family photography in Devon.

The Beaches

There’s nothing quite like Devon’s coastline for family photos. Wide sandy beaches like Woolacombe, Bantham, and Exmouth are perfect for capturing kids running barefoot, building sandcastles, or splashing at the shoreline. The natural light at golden hour (just before sunset) gives a soft, dreamy feel to your photos, ideal for wall-worthy family portraits.

Countryside Adventures

If your family loves the outdoors, Dartmoor and Exmoor are unbeatable. Think rolling hills, wild ponies, sheep and rugged landscapes that bring a sense of adventure to your photoshoot. Families with energetic little ones love this option because the kids can explore while I capture candid, relaxed shots against some of Devon’s most breathtaking views.

Pretty Villages and Towns

Not every photoshoot has to be out in the wild. Totnes and Dartmouth offer colourful streets, quirky doorways, and riverside backdrops that make for charming, intimate family portraits. These towns bring a sense of warmth and character to your photos, perfect if you want something a little different from the usual countryside or beach shots.

Parks & Riverside Walks

Sometimes the best photos come from the places your family feels most at home. Local parks and riverside walks are brilliant for keeping little ones happy and relaxed. Whether it’s feeding ducks, kicking a ball around, or strolling hand-in-hand, these familiar spots create natural and genuine photos that reflect your everyday family life.

Creating the Right Vibe

Every location has its own vibe – beaches give you playful, sun-soaked memories; Dartmoor and Exmoor add a dramatic and adventurous touch; while towns like Totnes and Dartmouth bring charm and colour. The key is choosing a spot that feels like you. During your family photoshoot in Devon, I’ll guide you to the best spots to make sure your photos capture the mood you want, fun, relaxed, and full of connection.
