Meet Irma

Hello! I'm Irma, an award-winning newborn 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 Sussex for my family photoshoots - Horsham, Lewes, Haywards Heath and Ditchling included.

No posing is required during my photo sessions. I believe in surprises and in those little moments when your child thinks no one is looking. Your shoot with me will be fun and relaxed and there is no need to prepare anything.

For years now, I have had the privilege to photograph hundreds of newborn babies, children and families all across Sussex and I hope to meet you and your family very soon!

Your Horsham Newborn Photoshoot Experience

All my newborn photoshoots are done in the comfort of your own home, however, if you’d like to include an outdoor location, then I am more than happy to do so.

Horsham and nearby areas have lovely places for newborn photoshoots. Horsham Park features greenery and flower gardens, while Southwater Country Park offers peaceful lakeside views. The South Downs' rolling fields and woodlands provide a beautiful rustic backdrop.

No matter where you choose, Horsham has many scenic spots to capture those special first moments with your newborn.

“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.” - Zaza

Ivy was all in — folding, gluing, choosing colours… 🎨✂️ It might not be ideal for really little ones (sharp tools, a bit of patience needed), but for school-age kids, it works. ✅ Touristy, sure. But also part of the real rhythm of this place. #HoiAnWithKids #VietnamTravel #LanternWorkshop #DocumentaryFamilyPhotography #IrmaArrowsmith #FamilyAdventure #TakeMeBack

It’s a reminder of what my job really is about. Being invited into people’s everyday lives - capturing the ordinary moments, without any staging or pretending. My goal isn’t to create perfect pictures, but to capture what’s real and lasting. When a family sees that in their photos, it confirms what I set out to do. Reading messages like this always makes me stop and appreciate the trust people give me. #SussexPhotography #LondonFamilyPhotographer #NewbornPhotography #CandidFamilyMoments #AuthenticFamilyPhotos

During our Vietnam adventure, I brought the GoPro to VinWonders in Phu Quoc and honestly forgot I even had it with me half the time - it’s that small and easy to use. No messing around with settings or gear, just point, press, and it catches all the fun, even mid-splash or flying down a slide. The waterpark was way bigger than I expected - giant slides, wave pools, lazy rivers… I was mostly just trying to keep up with my daughter! The GoPro made it easy to catch a few moments along the way without slowing us down. #familydocumentaryphotography #vietnam #PhuQuoc #travelingwithkids #GoProOnTheGo #TravelLight #VinWonders #waterfun
Why book a family photoshoot? Because time moves. Kids grow. Places change. And sometimes, you’re on the edge of something new - like this lovely family, who wanted to mark their move from Portslade to Lancing with a few honest images of life
Why book a family photoshoot? Because time moves. Kids grow. Places change. And sometimes, you’re on the edge of something new - like this lovely family, who wanted to mark their move from Portslade to Lancing with a few honest images of life as it was. A family session doesn’t have to be formal or posed. It can be a walk along the beach, a few quiet moments together - just as you are. If you’ve been thinking about it, this is your sign. #FamilyPhotoshoot #WhyPhotographyMatters #LifestyleFamilyPhotography #SussexPhotographer #PortsladePhotographer #LancingPhotographer #IrmaArrowsmithPhotography

But if your been putting if off because you’re tired, the house is messy, or you’re not feeling “photo ready” - this one’s for you.
