Authentic, natural lifestyle family photography in Ealing

A family photo session isn’t just about posing for the camera. It’s about capturing genuine moments: the way you interact, laugh, and spend time together. Whether at home with the kids, in your favourite spot in Ealing, or walking through central London, I focus on creating natural, timeless images that feel true to you and your family.

meet your ealing family photographer.

Mum of Ivy, Dutchie in the U.K., and lifelong sea lover. Documentary photography has been my passion for years. Since becoming a parent, capturing family life has become my biggest joy.

My goal as a photographer is simple: to document genuine connections. I focus on natural, candid moments: no posing, no pressure, just relaxed sessions where kids can be themselves.

I’ve photographed hundreds of newborns, children, and families across London, and I’d love to capture your story too.

What to expect

✔️ Relaxed & natural: gentle guidance so you can be yourselves at home, on Ealing Common, in central London, or at the playground.
✔️ Playful connections: children can run, explore, and have fun while I capture the laughter, cuddles, and bonds that make your family unique.
✔️ Laid-back flow: with 1.5–2 hours, there’s time for breaks, play, and natural moments to unfold
✔️ Beautiful variety: a blend of candid storytelling images and a few relaxed family portraits.

Locations I Love to Shoot In.

I specialise in capturing families in Ealing and all across London. I love photographing families in spaces that feel meaningful and inspiring. Some of my favourite spots include:

  • Walpole Park: Beautiful landscaped gardens, lakes, and open spaces in the heart of Ealing.

  • Lammas Park: A relaxed green space with tree-lined paths, perfect for family photography.

  • Ealing Common: Wide open lawns, great for natural, candid family photos.

  • Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery: Stunning architecture and ornamental gardens for a mix of history and style.

  • Brent River Park (Hanwell Meadows): Riverside walks and meadows offering a more natural, peaceful backdrop.

I’m always excited to explore new places too, whether it’s your favourite local playground, a cosy spot at home, or somewhere special to your family story.

The process

Step 01: PRE-CONSULTATION

We’ll discuss your vision for your family photoshoot and I will tell you a bit more about how I work.

Step 02: PENCIL IN A DATE

My diary can fill up quite quickly, so together we can pencil in a date for your photo session as quickly as possible.

Step 03: the photoshoot

This is the fun part! We work at your children’s pace, the focus is on relaxed, natural family portraits that reflect your family story.

Step 04: viewing your images

Approx. 3 weeks after your family session, you’ll be presented with a selection of beautifully edited photos for you to choose from.

Step 05: print orders

All my photography sessions include complimentary print credit that can be used towards all kinds of gorgeous print products, from framed prints to calendars or greeting cards.

 Faqs

  • Absolutely! I love including your pets and additional family members, just let me know in advance so we can plan the session accordingly.

  • Yes! Many families love starting at home for natural lifestyle shots and then heading to a favourite park, playground, or any other outdoor location for their family images. This gives a great mix of candid and scenic photos.

  • I’m flexible! If the weather is truly awful on your scheduled day, we can easily reschedule to another date so you still get beautiful outdoor family photos in the best possible conditions.

  • Sessions typically run 1.5–2 hours, giving plenty of time for children to warm up, explore, and for natural, relaxed moments to unfold.

  • Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and confident! There’s no need for coordinated outfits, the most important thing is that your family feels like themselves. Simple, natural clothing that allows you to move, play, and enjoy the session works best. Of course, if you’d like to coordinate your outfits, that’s perfectly fine too.

  • You’ll normally receive your fully edited images via a private online gallery within 2–3 weeks of your session. During busier periods, such as Christmas and summer, it may take closer to a month.

“We had a wonderful family shoot with Irma at our home and the beach. Irma really captured the essence of our current stage of life with a young family. She made us all feel at ease and came back with the most gorgeous photos. We highly recommend for anyone looking to capture some memorable candid moments. We hope to use her again in the coming years!”
