Norwood Newborn Photography

Natural Authentic Newborn Baby Photography in Norwood, Sydenham, Anerley, Norbury and all across South London

Your Story, Your Space

I believe newborn photography should feel like home, which is why I come to you. No need to worry about packing bags or rushing out the door. We’ll create timeless images in the comfort of your own space, where your baby feels safe and your family can simply be.

It’s about capturing the everyday magic - the way your newborn’s tiny fingers wrap around yours, the soft stretch of a yawn, the warmth of snuggles on the sofa.

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.

Hi, I’m Irma, a newborn and family photographer working across South London. I create honest, storytelling images that show your family as you really are.

I’m drawn to the unscripted moments of early parenthood and growing families - the small details, the connections, the reality of this chapter.

My approach is straightforward and unobtrusive, focusing on real moments rather than anything staged.

I photograph families all over South London, including Norwood, Norbury, Anerley, and Sydenham.

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!”
