Newborn photographer in Guildford | Capturing life’s first moments
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 newborn photographer.
Hi, I’m Irma, an award-winning newborn photographer, 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.
I work all over Surrey, including Guildford, Godalming and Reigate.
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.
What to expect
✔️ Natural, unposed photography: Honest moments that tell your family’s story.
✔️ At-home comfort: Your familiar surroundings, your pace, your rhythm.
✔️ Flexible timing: Because newborns have their own schedules, and that’s perfectly okay.
✔️ Soft light and honest storytelling: focusing on real interactions and those fleeting, heartfelt details that might otherwise go unnoticed.

There’s no single “perfect” time to book a newborn session, it’s about what feels right for your family.
Many parents choose the first two weeks, when babies are still sleepy and curled up. This allows for soft, snuggly images full of stillness and gentle connection.
Babies around 4 to 8 weeks offer something different, but equally beautiful. They’re more alert, can hold eye contact, and may even share a tiny early smile. Moments that make newborn portraits truly special.
Whether your baby is just a few days or several weeks old, I’ll tailor the session to suit their stage and your pace. My goal is to capture your family naturally, creating timeless images you’ll treasure from these first fleeting weeks.
-
Working with me is relaxed and low-key, no bright lights, no awkward posing, and no pressure for your baby (or you) to "perform." I simply come to your home and quietly document your family as you are, in your own space and your own rhythm.
We take breaks when needed, whether that’s for a feed, a cuddle, or just a breather. I’m there to observe and capture the little moments as they unfold naturally.
-
Not at all. If you reach out and I have a date available in the coming days, we can schedule your newborn session without any problems.
-
Sessions usually last around 2 hours, but I take as much time as your baby needs. Time is built in for feeds, nappy changes, and short breaks, there’s no rush.
-
My main priority is that you and your baby feel comfortable and relaxed during the session, so wear whatever makes you feel at ease.
That said, I usually suggest avoiding all-black outfits or very bright reds, as they can be a little overpowering in photographs.
-
Absolutely. Older siblings often love to join in. I aim to capture natural interactions, curiosity, and connection between your children. Partners are welcome too, and family shots are always included. If you prefer just your newborn, that works too, the session is flexible to your family’s needs.
