Meet Irma

Hello! I'm Irma, an award-winning newborn photographer with a passion for preserving the genuine connections and heartfelt moments that make your family unique.

While I'm based in Brighton & Hove, I frequently travel all across London for my family photoshoots - Clapham, Tooting, Balham and Dulwich included.

No posing is required during my photo sessions. I believe in surprises and in those little moments when your child thinks no one is looking. Your shoot with me will be fun and relaxed and there is no need to prepare anything.

For years now, I have had the privilege to photograph hundreds of newborn babies, children and families all across Sussex and London and I hope to meet you and your family very soon!

“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.” - Zaza

A foggy December morning in Queen’s Park made for such a beautiful setting for this family shoot. Nina and her parents were visiting Brighton for the holidays, and we started with some quiet moments at home before heading out to explore. The park was almost empty, giving Nina free rein of the playground - something every kid loves! I don’t usually get to shoot in thick fog, but it added such a soft, atmospheric feel to their photos. Head over to the blog to see more from this session.

✨ A Winter Wedding in Brighton ✨ Between Christmas and New Year’s, on a crisp, sunny day, I had the pleasure of capturing James & Clare’s intimate wedding at Brighton Town Hall. With just nine guests, it was such a personal and special celebration! After their ceremony in the Regency Room - festively decorated with a real Christmas tree - we took a stroll through the Lanes and down to the beach for some relaxed portraits. The sea was unbelievably still, and the winter light made for the most stunning backdrop. I love capturing weddings like this. 👉🏻 Swipe to see some of my favourite shots! Planning a wedding in Brighton? I’d love to hear from you! #BrightonWedding #WinterWedding #BrightonTownHall #WeddingPhotography #CandidWedding #SeasideWedding #IntimateWedding #HoveCouple #thelanesbrighton #brightonbeach

If you’re looking for natural, timeless family photography in Sussex or London, I’d love to document your family moments! #SussexFamilyPhotographer #FamilyPhotography #RealMoments #LondonMum #LondonFamily #UKPhotographer #BrightonandHove

Celebrating Freddie’s naming ceremony at the beautiful Ockenden Manor in Cuckfield was an absolute joy! Unlike a Christening, a naming ceremony is entirely non-religious, giving families the freedom to create a celebration that reflects their values and hopes for their child. Some choose to include readings, music, or symbolic gestures like lighting candles or planting a tree. If you’re planning a naming ceremony and want natural, storytelling-style photos to cherish, I’d love to be part of your special day! #NamingCeremony #SussexPhotographer #DocumentaryPhotography #FamilyMoments #IrmaArrowsmithPhotography #Cuckfield #Sussex
