Brixton family photographer

A family photo session isn’t just about a few posed images, it’s about documenting your connections, your laughter, and the love you share.

Whether it’s playing with the kids at home, exploring your favourite Brixton spot, or wandering in the countryside, I aim to create natural, timeless images you’ll treasure forever.

Meet your Brixton family photographer.

Hi, I’m Irma. I’m a mum to Ivy, a Dutchie living in the U.K., and a big sea lover. Photography has been my passion for years, but since becoming a parent, I’ve fallen in love with capturing family life.

I focus on photographing connection and feeling, creating natural and authentic images of families and newborns that tell your real story: no stiff posing, just genuine moments you’ll want to remember.

As a mum myself, I know how quickly those early newborn days pass by in a blur, which is why it feels so important to have them documented.

“We had a great newborn photoshoot with Irma. I was 9 days post partum and when the time came about a little daunted about doing the photoshoot. However Irma was fantastic! She totally put us at ease and it was a really comfortable experience. The photos are also great, a fantastic reminder of this time!”

Your space, your story.

Family photography should feel natural and familiar, which is why I photograph you where life actually happens. No need to plan, pack, or perform.

We’ll create timeless family images in the comfort of your home or at a location that feels like you. It’s about capturing the everyday moments - the way your children play, the shared laughter, the quiet pauses, and the connections that unfold when you’re simply together. Honest, relaxed photographs that reflect your family as you truly are.
