Authentic Maternity Photography in Brighton & Hove

My approach focuses on natural, unposed photography that highlights the genuine connection between you and your growing baby. Whether it's a serene beach setting, the vibrant streets of Brighton, or the comfort of your own home, I aim to create a relaxed environment where you can be yourself during your maternity shoot.

Hello, I'm Irma!

Maternity Photographer based in Brighton and Hove, East Sussex, Irma with her daughter.

Mum of Ivy, Dutchie in Brighton, massive sea and beach lover and always thinking about the next camera... Documentary photography has been my passion for many years and, since having my daughter, photographing family life has become my biggest love.

For me, the main goal as a maternity photographer is to capture the beauty, emotion, and anticipation of this special time in a way that feels natural and true to you. I want you to look back at these images and remember not just how you looked, but how you felt - excited, connected, and full of love for the little life growing inside you. My focus is on creating a relaxed, comfortable space where you can simply be yourself, allowing me to document the raw, intimate moments that make this journey so unique.

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

What to Expect from Your Maternity Session

  • Personalized Experience: Each session is tailored to reflect your unique journey into motherhood.

  • Comfortable Environment: Sessions can be held at a location of your choice in Brighton or the surrounding Sussex area, ensuring you feel at ease.

  • Flexible Scheduling: I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs during this special time.

When to book your maternity photoshoot?

This is totally up to you. I would say that probably any moment from 28 weeks up to 35 weeks is great, but it all depends on how you feel. The only thing that you most definitely need is a sizeable bump to photograph!

What to wear?

I often get asked by clients what they should wear. Again, this is up to you! I won't be telling you how to dress, but I can definitely give you some advice on what to wear.

My job is to take beautiful maternity photos of you in whatever you wear so choose something that makes you feel good in, whether that’s a more loose fitting, flowy bohemian dress or a form-fitting outfit. There is no right or wrong here!

How long does a pregnancy photo session take?

 My maternity photoshoots usually take around one hour to capture a great variety of images of you and your beautiful bump!

Do you also offer Newborn Photoshoots?

Yes I do and I would obviously love to photograph you and your baby once your little one has arrived! When you book a maternity photoshoot you’ll automatically get 20% off a newborn photography session with me.

“Irma was friendly and punctual. It was all very relaxed and she accommodated all our requests on what and where we wanted to take the pictures. Highly recommended.”
