Hi there,

So glad you found me.
I’m Bernadette, a family photographer based in Bristol, Portishead, and North Somerset area. For nearly 11 years, I’ve had the privilege of capturing the love, laughter, and special moments that make each family unique. I specialize in those precious “in-between” moments—the ones that truly reflect the bond and beauty of your connections.

Life is a collection of moments, strung together with a golden thread.
Every laugh, every tear is a piece of magic that we spread.

My name is Bernadette Barna Toth and I am a professional photographer in Portishead, Bristol.

My friends know me as an always smiling, really friendly person. Photography, to me, is a bridge back to the fleeting moments—the tiny, in-between glances, the wind in your hair, the laughter that only lasted a second. I aim to bottle those emotions so you can feel them again and again.

My style blends painterly, dreamlike imagery that looks like it’s been pulled from a storybook or a nostalgic movie with raw, unfiltered storytelling. Whether it’s a golden sunset hug or a quiet moment between chaos, I want every photo to feel like a page from your own personal fairytale—real, emotional, and timeless.
