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.

Whether you’re celebrating the arrival of your baby or want to capture the joy of family life as it grows and changes, I’ll come to you, at home, on the beach, or wherever feels most like your place.

WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE ME

✔️ No Studio, No Stress. I come to you, so everyone stays relaxed and real

✔️ Baby-Led & Child-Friendly. Sessions move at your pace, with plenty of breaks and play

✔️ Natural, Artistic, Documentary Style. No stiff posing or props, just honest, beautiful storytelling

✔️ Authentic Memories. Family photographs that capture feeling, not just faces

“Thank you so much for the photoshoot we had such as great time- you made us feel so comfortable throughout the session and it shows in the photos. I watched the video with Riz this morning and I just burst into tears (joyful tears!) You captured our everyday moments and made them so special- we love the photos so much! Yay I finally have some nice picture with all four of us- truly special”
Rosalind P.
“Irma joined us at my mother's 90th birthday celebration. We wanted to capture the occasion for all of us but particularly for my mother, to remember this special day. We had family members from the ages of 1 to 90 and we couldn't be happier with Irma's photos. We had asked for a mix of informal photos and more formal groups and both are perfect. She has captured the sense of fun and celebration and we all have photos that we will treasure.”
Julia A.
“Irma was a delight to work with. She responded quickly to our enquiry and scheduled a photoshoot that fit with our schedule. She put us at complete ease and captured treasured memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Nothing was too much for her and we look forward to marking more milestones further down the line.”
Zaza B.

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 family lifestyle photography in Ealing and all across West London. I love photographing families in spaces that feel meaningful and inspiring. Some of my favourite spots around Ealing 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.

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.
