Newborn Photography in South London
East Dulwich Newborn Photographer
Capturing your baby’s first days is about preserving fleeting moments: tiny gestures, sleepy stretches, and the quiet connection between you and your newborn. I specialise in natural, lifestyle newborn photography across Dulwich Village, Peckham, Herne Hill, Forest Hill, Clapham, and all over South London.
My sessions are calm, relaxed, and designed around your baby’s needs. Whether your little one is sleeping, stretching, or nestled in your arms, I aim to capture authentic images that reflect these precious early weeks.
From the very first days to lifelong memories — natural newborn photography in East dulwich, Dulwich Village and across South East LONDON.
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.
Why Choose a Lifestyle Newborn Session?
These first days pass in the blink of an eye. My goal is to capture your baby’s unique personality and the intimate moments that make these early days unforgettable.
Baby-led sessions – no forced poses, just natural moments.
In-home comfort – relaxed, safe, and familiar surroundings for your newborn.
Timeless portraits – images you’ll treasure forever.
I work with families across East Dulwich, Dulwich Village, Peckham, Herne Hill, Clapham, Forest Hill, and South London, bringing patience, care, and experience to every session.
“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!”

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.
