Burgess Hill NEWBORN pHOTOGRAPHer
Capturing your newborn’s first days is about preserving fleeting moments: the quiet details, the small gestures, the real connection between you and your baby.
Based in Sussex, I specialise in natural newborn photography. My sessions are relaxed and calm, designed to suit your baby’s needs and your home environment. Whether your baby is asleep, stretching, or curled in your arms, I aim to capture images that reflect who they are in these first precious weeks.
Each session focuses on authentic moments and gentle posing, using natural light to create timeless portraits that you’ll treasure. These photographs aren’t just pictures, they’re a record of this early chapter in your family’s story, ready to be displayed, shared, and remembered.
I work with families across Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Brighton, Sussex, and London, bringing care, patience, and experience to every newborn session. No need for elaborate preparation, the goal is comfort, connection, and capturing the real details of your baby’s earliest days.
If you're looking for a newborn baby photographer in Burgess Hill, you've found the right person for your family! I love capturing the beauty of new life and the joy of early parenthood through natural photos that reflect your family's unique story. I focus on real connections instead of posed shots, showcasing the bond between you and your baby.
My newborn photoshoots are done at your own home, where I can capture genuine moments that reveal your family's personality. Let me help you document the early days of parenthood with beautiful, timeless newborn portraits that tell your story authentically.
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.

Hi, I’m Irma, an award-winning newborn photographer based in Sussex. I create natural, storytelling images that reflect who you are as a family.
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!”

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.
