At home natural newborn photography
Natural newborn photo sessions in Clapham, Clapham Old Town, Battersea, Stockwell, and across South West London
Your family, your story
Capturing your newborn’s first days is about preserving the small, fleeting moments that tell your family’s story.
I offer relaxed, natural in-home newborn photography across London. Calm sessions that fit your baby’s rhythm and your home. Using gentle posing and natural light, I create timeless lifestyle portraits full of warmth and connection.
I photograph families in Clapham, Clapham Old Town, Battersea, Stockwell, Balham, Brixton, and all across South West London, focusing on comfort, authenticity, and the real details of your baby’s earliest days.
These aren’t just pictures, they’re memories you’ll return to again and again.
Newborns grow so quickly, and these first days are precious. I document the little gestures, sleepy stretches, and tender connections. Calm, honest, and timeless portraits in your home or favourite space.

“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!”

Authentic, natural lifestyle newborn baby portraits
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.

I arrive at your home and work around your baby's rhythm. We follow feeds, nappy changes, and sleep patterns. I photograph in whatever room has the best light - usually a bedroom or living room - capturing natural moments as they happen.
-
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.
-
Not at all. I work with your space as it is. You don't need to tidy or stage anything. Natural, lived-in homes create the most authentic newborn photos.
-
This is completely normal and expected. We take as many breaks as needed for feeding, soothing, or comfort. There's no rush, and crying moments are part of the newborn story too.
-
Absolutely. Siblings are welcome and I capture their natural interactions with the new baby. Sessions are flexible - if older children get restless, they can play while I focus on the newborn, then rejoin when they're ready.
