Meet your Reigate Family Photographer.

Hi, I’m Irma. I’m a mum to Ivy, a Dutchie living in the U.K., and a big sea lover. Photography has been my passion for years, but since becoming a parent, I’ve fallen in love with capturing family life.

I focus on photographing connection and feeling, creating natural and authentic images of families and newborns that tell your real story: no stiff posing, just genuine moments you’ll want to remember.

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.

“Thank you so much for the photoshoot we had such as great time- you made us feel so comfortable throughout the session and it shows in the photos. I watched the video with Riz this morning and I just burst into tears (joyful tears!) You captured our everyday moments and made them so special- we love the photos so much! Yay I finally have some nice picture with all four of us- truly special”
Rosalind P.
“Irma joined us at my mother's 90th birthday celebration. We wanted to capture the occasion for all of us but particularly for my mother, to remember this special day. We had family members from the ages of 1 to 90 and we couldn't be happier with Irma's photos. We had asked for a mix of informal photos and more formal groups and both are perfect. She has captured the sense of fun and celebration and we all have photos that we will treasure.”
Julia A.
“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.”

Family Photography

Natural family photography in Reigate. Just be yourselves, and I’ll capture the moments, connections, and emotions that make family life special.
I photograph families at home and outdoors, usually without posing, but I might give gentle guidance for authentic shots.
As a Reigate family photographer, I enjoy exploring the town and often include the local parks in my family photoshoots.

Newborn Photography

Capture your newborn’s growth during their first months. I enjoy newborn photo shoots and feel honoured to be part of new families' journeys.
If you want natural newborn photography with a documentary style, I’m your newborn photographer!
I take my time during the shoot, focusing on your baby’s needs. We can mostly do the session at home, but we can also go outside if you prefer.

I would love to capture this special moment naturally for you. I work all over Surrey, including Reigate, Kingswood and Oxshott.

Childrens Party Photographer

I can capture special moments like first birthdays, small weddings, anniversaries, and family milestones.

I shoot spontaneous moments, so there's nothing to prepare.

Your story, your space.

Family photography should feel natural and familiar, which is why I photograph you where life actually happens. No need to plan, pack, or perform.

We’ll create timeless family images in the comfort of your home or at a location that feels like you. It’s about capturing the everyday moments—the way your children play, the shared laughter, the quiet pauses, and the connections that unfold when you’re simply together. Honest, relaxed photographs that reflect your family as you truly are.
