Family Photographer in Islington
Islington 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 Islington Green, 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 Islington
Islington, North London, offers a variety of stunning locations for a family photoshoot, combining urban charm with green spaces. Highbury Fields is a top choice, providing open lawns, tree-lined paths, and a relaxed atmosphere perfect for capturing natural family moments. For a more vibrant and artistic backdrop, Camden Passage boasts colourful shopfronts, charming cafés, and cobbled streets that add character to your photos.
If you prefer a mix of nature and historic architecture, Clissold Park in nearby Stoke Newington features scenic lakes, a charming mansion, and a small animal enclosure, making it ideal for families with children. Meanwhile, Regent’s Canal, which runs through Islington, offers picturesque waterside views, perfect for candid shots with a unique London feel. Whether you’re looking for classic greenery or a stylish urban setting, Islington has the perfect spot to create timeless 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.
