Newborn Photographer in Herne Hill | Capturing Life’s First Moments

Welcome, I’m Irma - a newborn photographer, passionate about telling the beautiful, unscripted stories of new life and growing families.

Why Herne Hill Families Choose Me

  • Relaxed, in-home sessions
    No need to pack a bag or leave the house—I come to you, so everything can unfold in a familiar, calm environment.

  • Baby-led from beginning to end
    Your baby sets the pace. There’s time for feeds, changes, and cuddles without any rush or expectation.

  • Honest, natural imagery
    I don’t pose babies or use props. I photograph the quiet in-between moments, the way they curl in your arms, stretch after a nap, or wrap their hand around yours.

  • Experience with new parents
    I’ve photographed many families during those tender, early weeks. I’ll guide gently and respectfully, so you feel at ease and supported throughout the session.
