Bosham Family & Newborn Photographer
natural Newborn, family & maternity lifestyle photography in Bosham and across West Sussex.
The moments you’ll always want to remember.
I capture honest, connected and joyful family portraits in Bosham, West Wittering, Chichester and across West Sussex - the real interactions and little family moments that make your family unique.
relaxed, natural, and authentic
I create a family photography experience that feels effortless, capturing natural connection even for those who aren’t used to being in front of a camera.
Let’s be honest: being photographed can feel a bit strange. But you’re here because these moments matter. Your people, your memories, your everyday life, they’re worth documenting.
My job is to remove the awkwardness so you can simply relax and be yourselves. When you feel comfortable, the images become natural, honest, and true to you. Exactly as they should be.

Hi, I’m Irma, an award-winning family & newborn photographer. I create natural, storytelling images that reflect who you are as a family.
Mum to Ivy, Dutchie in Sussex, and happiest by the sea. Documentary photography has shaped my work for years, and since becoming a parent, photographing family life has become its natural focus.
I photograph families as they are, capturing real connections and unprompted moments as they unfold.
Over the years, I’ve photographed hundreds of newborns, children, and families across Sussex. If you’d like me to document your family, I’d love to hear from you!
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.

Natural family photography in Bosham. Just be yourselves, and I’ll capture the moments, connections, and emotions that make family life special.
I photograph families at home and outdoors, usually without posing, but I might give gentle guidance for authentic shots.
As a Bosham family photographer, I enjoy exploring the beach and often include local parks in my family photoshoots.

Childrens Party Photographer
I can capture special moments like first birthdays, small weddings, anniversaries, and family milestones.
My photos have a documentary style, and with my photojournalistic approach, you don't need to worry about anything.
I shoot spontaneous moments, so there's nothing to prepare.
"I asked Irma to take some photos of my family when my daughter was a month old. I was hesitant because I don't really enjoy having pictures taken but I am so glad I decided to go for it.
Irma is a true professional! She was so lovely and chatty which was the perfect distraction and meant there was no awkwardness at all. The best part was obviously the photographs.
My partner and I take a lot of photos of our children on our iPhones but it really is worth having professional ones taken. Irma captured my toddler and his interactions with our baby so beautifully.
The photos are just gorgeous we are so happy with them. Definitely recommend!"

Your Bosham Family Photoshoot
Bosham is known for its quiet harbour, open views, and changing light - a natural setting for relaxed family photographs.
Bosham Quay offers waterfront views, sailing boats, and soft reflections, shaped by the rhythm of the tides.
Holy Trinity Church and its surroundings provide a more enclosed feel, with cobbled paths, greenery, and glimpses of the harbour.
Bosham Hoe is more open and secluded, with wide views across Chichester Harbour and space for families to move and spend time together.
Whether we stay by the water, wander through the village, or head into the open landscape, Bosham offers varied locations that work naturally for family lifestyle photography.
