Hi, I’m Irma, an award-winning family & newborn photographer working all across South London. I create natural, storytelling images that reflect who you are as a family.

I have a passion for preserving the genuine connections and heartfelt moments that make your family unique.

While I'm based in Brighton & Hove, I frequently travel all across London for my family photoshoots - Herne Hill, Dulwich, Telegraph Hill and Clapham included.

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.”

Why choose a lifestyle family photoshoot?

Family lifestyle photography is all about capturing genuine connection - the laughter, cuddles, and little moments that tell your story.

Rather than posing perfectly, I focus on creating a relaxed atmosphere where your family can simply be yourselves.

Whether at home or outdoors, each session is designed to reflect your unique bond and the love you share. The result is a timeless collection of natural, emotive images that celebrate real life - beautifully and authentically.

Your Herne Hill Family Photoshoot Experience

Herne Hill, in South London, offers several fantastic locations for a family photoshoot, blending greenery, history, and urban charm. Brockwell Park is one of my favourite locations for a family photo session, with its scenic views of the London skyline providing a stunning natural backdrop.

Ruskin Park is a short walk away and also provides a lovely natural setting with its beautiful gardens, tree-lined paths, and charming bandstand, perfect for family photos. The park's open spaces and playground are ideal for capturing those candid, relaxed moments.

For more of an urban vibe to your shoot, the lovely streets of Herne Hill with its lovely independent shops bring will make your family pictures feel more London-like. I also love including the Saturday market to your shoot!

Whether you want green landscapes, classic park scenes, or a blend of both, Herne Hill offers many great places for creating lasting family memories.
