Newborn Photographer Islington, North London

Welcoming a new baby is such a special time, and capturing those first days helps you hold onto moments that pass far too quickly.

I offer natural, at-home newborn photography in Islington, Highbury, Canonbury and across North London, creating calm, relaxed sessions that flow around your baby’s needs.

Using gentle light and minimal posing, I focus on real emotion and genuine family moments, portraits that feel timeless, personal, and full of love.

No need to prepare anything elaborate - just enjoy being together while I capture the story of your baby’s earliest days.

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.

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.

“We had a great newborn photoshoot with Irma. I was 9 days post partum and when the time came about a little daunted about doing the photoshoot. However Irma was fantastic! She totally put us at ease and it was a really comfortable experience. The photos are also great, a fantastic reminder of this time!”
