These aren’t just pictures, they’re memories you’ll return to again and again.

Newborns grow so quickly, and these first days are precious. I document the little gestures, sleepy stretches, and tender connections. Calm, honest, and timeless portraits in your home or favourite space.

meet your Esher newborn photographer.

Hi, I’m Irma, a family and newborn photographer working all across Surrey, Sussex and London. I create natural, storytelling images that reflect who you are as a family.

I am passionate about telling the beautiful, unscripted stories of new life and growing families.

My approach is simple: natural, authentic, and heartfelt, because the most precious memories are often found in the quiet, fleeting moments.

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.
