Hi, I’m Irma, an award-winning newborn & family photographer serving Brockley and the wider South London area.
My newborn sessions are calm and unhurried, photographed in the comfort of your home. Every moment - a yawn, a quiet stretch, a gentle embrace - is captured as it naturally unfolds.
Guided by your baby’s rhythm, I document the beauty in simplicity: soft light, subtle details, genuine connection.
No backdrops. No staging. Just timeless, honest photographs that tell your family’s story with quiet elegance.
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!”
Charlotte M.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Newborn sessions with me are relaxed and led by your baby’s natural rhythm. I focus on capturing real moments as they happen: tiny stretches, yawns, and quiet cuddles, without posing or pressure.
The goal is to document these first days honestly, creating images that feel natural and timeless.
Faqs

There’s no single “perfect” time to book a newborn session, it’s about what feels right for your family.
Many parents choose the first two weeks, when babies are still sleepy and curled up. This allows for soft, snuggly images full of stillness and gentle connection.
Babies around 4 to 8 weeks offer something different, but equally beautiful. They’re more alert, can hold eye contact, and may even share a tiny early smile. Moments that make newborn portraits truly special.
Whether your baby is just a few days or several weeks old, I’ll tailor the session to suit their stage and your pace. My goal is to capture your family naturally, creating timeless images you’ll treasure from these first fleeting weeks.
-
Working with me is relaxed and low-key, no bright lights, no awkward posing, and no pressure for your baby (or you) to "perform." I simply come to your home and quietly document your family as you are, in your own space and your own rhythm.
We take breaks when needed, whether that’s for a feed, a cuddle, or just a breather. I’m there to observe and capture the little moments as they unfold naturally.
-
Not at all. If you reach out and I have a date available in the coming days, we can schedule your newborn session without any problems.
-
Sessions usually last around 2 hours, but I take as much time as your baby needs. Time is built in for feeds, nappy changes, and short breaks, there’s no rush.
-
My main priority is that you and your baby feel comfortable and relaxed during the session, so wear whatever makes you feel at ease.
That said, I usually suggest avoiding all-black outfits or very bright reds, as they can be a little overpowering in photographs.
-
Absolutely. Older siblings often love to join in. I aim to capture natural interactions, curiosity, and connection between your children. Partners are welcome too, and family shots are always included. If you prefer just your newborn, that works too, the session is flexible to your family’s needs.

Your Story, Your Space
I believe newborn photography should feel like home, which is why I come to you. No need to worry about packing bags or rushing out the door. We’ll create timeless images in the comfort of your own space, where your baby feels safe and your family can simply be. It’s about capturing the everyday magic - the way your newborn’s tiny fingers wrap around yours, the soft stretch of a yawn, the warmth of snuggles on the sofa.
Why Families Choose Me
My sessions are relaxed and baby-led, with no pressure for perfect poses. I gently guide you when needed, but the real beauty comes from genuine connection - the soft looks, the sleepy hugs, the small smiles that make your baby special.
Families I work with often tell me they felt completely at ease, like spending time with a friend who just happened to have a camera. That’s exactly how I want you to feel!
