Award-winning in-home Newborn Photography in East Dulwich, SE22, SE21, and across South East London
Natural, baby-led newborn photography at your home in East Dulwich, Dulwich Village, Peckham, Herne Hill and across SE22, SE21.
I come to you - no need to leave home with a days-old baby.
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.

What to expect
✔️ Relaxed & baby-led: gentle guidance with plenty of flexibility, following your newborn’s pace at home or outdoors if you’d like.
✔️ Natural moments: a focus on real interactions - feeding, cuddles, settling, and the quiet moments in between.
✔️ Calm-paced sessions: around 1.5–2 hours, with time for breaks, feeds, and changes.
✔️ Thoughtful mix: mostly candid, storytelling images with a few softly guided family portraits.
Why Choose a Lifestyle Newborn Session?
A newborn session isn’t about posing or perfection.
It’s about capturing the early days as they really are - the quiet moments at home, the way you hold your baby, and the small interactions that already feel like your new normal.
Photographed in your East Dulwich home (and nearby outdoor spots if you’d like), my focus is on relaxed, timeless images that feel natural and true to your family.
As a newborn photographer in East Dulwich, I come to your home for calm, baby-led sessions throughout SE22, SE21, and surrounding areas.
Local Knowledge
I know East Dulwich well - from homes near Lordship Lane to quiet residential streets around Dulwich Village. Whether you're walking distance from Goose Green or near Peckham Rye, I travel throughout the area. Many East Dulwich families I work with have just come home from King's College Hospital in Camberwell. Those first days home are precious - settling into your space, learning your baby's rhythm, welcoming visitors. That's the time I document.
If you'd like to include outdoor time, we can incorporate gentle family portraits at nearby green spaces:
Dulwich Park
Beautiful in all seasons, short walk from many East Dulwich homes.
Peckham Rye Park
Open space, good for walking with newborn in the sling.
Goose Green
Local green, perfect for quick outdoor shots.
Most newborn sessions are done at home, but the option is there if you feel up to it.
Newborn Photography Across East Dulwich
“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!”
