Peckham Newborn Baby Photography

Newborn, family & maternity photography in Peckham, Dulwich, Sydenham, Beckenham and all over South East London

Award-winning Newborn Photography in Peckham, South London

If you’re looking for a Peckham newborn baby photographer, you’re in the right place! I can capture the beauty of new life and the tenderness of early parenthood in natural, heartfelt photographs.

I focus on documenting genuine connections, no forced poses, just real interactions. I specialise in photographing babies and families at home and outdoors, creating images that you’ll cherish forever.

Let me help you preserve those fleeting moments with your little one through gorgeous natural newborn portraits. I take a documentary approach to newborn photography, and shoot events as they come.

I also offer family photoshoots and maternity shoots in Dulwich, Beckenham, Sydenham, Nunhead and all across South East London.

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 - Dulwich, Brockley, Herne Hill and Peckham 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!

Your Peckham Newborn Photoshoot Experience

All my newborn photoshoots are done in the comfort of your own home, however, if you’d like to include an outdoor location, then I am more than happy to do so.

Peckham, in South East London, offers several fantastic locations for a family photoshoot. Peckham Rye Park is always a great choice, with its beautiful gardens, scenic lake, and open green spaces providing a natural and relaxed backdrop.

The vibrant murals and street art around Rye Lane and Copeland Park add a creative and colourful urban feel to your family portraits.

For a more contemporary setting, the rooftop of Peckham Levels offers stunning city views.

Whether you prefer nature, art, or cityscapes, Peckham has plenty of picturesque spots to capture special family moments.

Nothing was too much for her and we look forward to marking more milestones further down the line.” - Zaza

Real moments, real connections. That’s what’s family photography is all about for me.

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

📸 Capturing Family Milestones In my latest blog, I’m diving into the beauty of photographing family milestone events! A big part of being a documentary family photographer includes lifestyle event photography. Unlike traditional event photography, which often focuses on posed group shots and formal compositions, lifestyle event photography aims to tell a story. it highlights the candid, spontaneous interactions between people, and the fleeting moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.
