Capturing Authentic Family Moments in Herne Hill

Hello! I'm Irma, an award-winning family photographer with 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.

Why Choose a Documentary-Style Family Photoshoot?

Family life is a lovely mix of laughter, hugs, and everyday adventures. My approach focuses on capturing these authentic moments without the need for posed setups. This style allows your family's true personality to shine through, resulting in images that are both meaningful and timeless.

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.
