Hi, I’m Irma, an award-winning family photographer. I create natural, storytelling images that reflect who you are as a family.

Life moves quickly, and the small, beautiful moments that define family life can so easily pass unnoticed. A family photoshoot offers a moment to pause, connect, and preserve the quiet authenticity of your time together - naturally and without expectation.

Each session is thoughtfully unhurried and effortlessly relaxed - whether wandering through Esher Common, playing in the garden, or spending time at home. The result is a collection of elegant, heartfelt photographs that tell your family’s story with honesty and grace.

As a mum myself, I know how quickly those early newborn days pass by in a blur, which is why it feels so important to have them documented.

  • “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”

  • “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.”
