Brighton Family Photographer – Natural & Heartfelt Photography

I believe the best photos happen when you’re simply being yourselves. No awkward poses, no forced smiles – just the real, beautiful moments that make your family who they are.

My sessions are relaxed, playful, and totally free of pressure. I don’t ask kids to sit still or tell you how to ‘look natural’ – I just create the space for you to be together, and I capture what unfolds.

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 a walk on Hove beach, a Brighton Pier adventure, or simply playing in Preston Park – 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.

Having a family get together and looking to create some lovely memories? Then I’ve definitely got you covered!

I also offer extended family photography sessions and would love to take some natural, candid family portraits, including the grandparents, cousins or other extended family members. These shoots fall under my Slice Of Life session - find more info on prices and what’s included here.

“Irma came to do a weekend morning family photo shoot with our family, which included a reluctant teenager and a dog. She immediately put everyone at ease and it was such a calm, easy process.

Her relaxed manner made all the difference and we now have an amazing album of family photos, as well as photos of our children together, we thought we would never achieve!

It was also very easy to get booked in even though we live in London and Irma lives outside London - scheduling was a straightforward process. Thank you so much, Irma.” - Fionnuala

Why Brighton is the Perfect Backdrop for Your Family Photos

As a Brighton family photographer, I would love to take you and your family on an adventure to explore all the wonderful and iconic local places that Brighton has to offer.

We will start our family photoshoot comfortably at home, allowing everyone a little time to adjust to my presence and feel at ease in front of the camera. Once you’re all used to me and my camera, we can set off together to discover and experience the vibrant charm of this great city.

Brighton is a city full of energy, character, and stunning scenery – and it’s an amazing place for family photography. Whether we’re skipping stones at the beach, exploring the colourful backstreets of the Lanes, or having a laid-back session at home, I’ll help you find a location that feels like ‘you.’

A Session That Feels Right for Your Family

Every family is different, so I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you love the idea of an outdoor adventure or want something more intimate and cozy at home, we’ll plan a session that suits your family’s personality. No pressure, no strict schedules – just space to be together.

Let’s Capture Your Family’s Story

I’d love to help you freeze this moment in time with natural, honest family photography that truly feels like you. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, get in touch – I’d love to hear about your family and create something special together.
