Blackheath Family Photographer

Hi - I’m Irma, a documentary family photographer, and I believe the best photos are the ones that tell your family story. No stiff poses, no forced smiles – just you and your loved ones, exactly as you are.

Capturing Family Life

Every family has its own rhythm, its own quirks, its own little moments of magic. Whether it’s the way your toddler grips your finger with their tiny hand, the belly laughs shared between siblings, or the quiet glances between parents – these are the moments I live to capture.

My approach is all about storytelling. I blend into your world, allowing you to relax and be yourselves, while I document the genuine connections that make your family unique. The result? Honest, emotive images that transport you right back to this season of your life.

I offer 2 types of family photoshoots:

    Slice Of Life

    My Slice of Life photoshoot is all about capturing your family as you truly are – naturally, effortlessly, and full of life.

    No stiff poses, no forced smiles – just a relaxed and fun session where you can be yourselves. We’ll spend 1.5 to 2 hours at home or out and about in a place that feels right for you. Maybe it’s taking your kids to Greenwich, an adventure in central London, or simply going to your nearest playground – whatever reflects your family best.

    My goal? To document your family moments with honesty and warmth, creating natural portraits you’ll treasure forever.

    Morning In The Life

    This session is all about capturing your family’s real, unfiltered moments. No posing, no pressure - just a relaxed, documentary-style shoot that follows your ordinary Saturday or Sunday morning, exactly as it is.

    For 4 to 5 hours, I’ll be there as a photographer-friend, blending into your day - whether it’s breakfast at your favourite café, a walk through the Lanes, or a slow morning at home.

    The result? A beautiful, honest collection of images that truly reflect your family’s story.

Where We Can Shoot in Blackheath

Blackheath in South London is a fantastic location for a family photoshoot, offering a mix of open landscapes, historic charm, and scenic beauty. Blackheath Common is one of the best spots, with its vast open fields providing a natural and relaxed setting, perfect for capturing candid family moments against a stunning skyline.

If you’re looking for something more picturesque, Greenwich Park, just a short walk away, features beautiful tree-lined avenues, the iconic Royal Observatory, and breathtaking views over London, adding a timeless elegance to your photos.

For families who love a village feel, Blackheath Village itself offers charming streets, historic buildings, and cozy cafés that make for a warm and inviting backdrop. Whether you want an airy, natural setting or a touch of London heritage, Blackheath offers the perfect blend of open space and character for your family portraits.

A Session Designed Around You

There’s no rush, no pressure. My sessions are relaxed and fun – giving you space to connect, play, and just be together. I guide you subtly when needed but mostly let things unfold naturally, capturing the beautiful in-between moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Let’s Create Something Meaningful

Family photography isn’t just about having beautiful pictures – it’s about preserving this chapter of your lives so that, years from now, you can look back and feel every emotion all over again.

If that sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d love to chat. Get in touch, and let’s create something special together.
