Natural Family Photography in Brighton, Hove & Sussex
Capturing Real Family Connections in Relaxed Sessions
Family photography is about capturing the laughter, connections, and everyday moments that make your family unique.
I specialise in relaxed outdoor sessions in Brighton and Hove, including favourites like Preston Park, Hove Park, The Lanes, and Hove Beach, as well as lifestyle in-home sessions across Sussex and London.
Every shoot is tailored to your family, focusing on natural interactions rather than stiff poses, so your photos reflect who you really are.
Outdoor & Lifestyle Family Photography
My family photography sessions are designed to feel effortless. Outdoor photoshoots let children explore, play, and be themselves, creating candid, joyful images.
In-home sessions are perfect for capturing the quiet, intimate moments of everyday life - reading, cuddles, and little details that tell your family’s story.
I focus on natural light, authentic expressions, and relaxed pacing, so every session is enjoyable for parents and children alike.
Brighton & Sussex Family Photography in Iconic Locations
From Stanmer Park and the South Downs to Brighton Pier, Preston Park, and Hove Beach, I capture family moments in locations that suit your family’s style and personality.
Whether it’s playful outdoor adventures, quiet time at home, or a session in central London, each photoshoot is designed to feel natural and relaxed.
These settings create opportunities for genuine interactions, laughter, and connection, resulting in photographs that reflect the real story of your family.
“We had a wonderful family shoot with Irma at our home and the beach. Irma really captured the essence of our current stage of life with a young family. She made us all feel at ease and came back with the most gorgeous photos.
We highly recommend for anyone looking to capture some memorable candid moments. We hope to use her again in the coming years!”

Whatever feels comfortable and true to you. I don’t ask families to dress a certain way - the aim is to capture you as you are. Some families prefer simple or coordinated outfits, while others come exactly as they would on a normal day. Both work beautifully.
