I photograph newborn sessions in the comfort of your home, working gently and without rushing.
I also offer maternity photography and combined maternity & newborn sessions in Solihull and Birmingham, capturing the journey from bump to baby.
Every newborn session I photograph is guided by your baby’s rhythm. There are no rigid poses or expectations. We take breaks for feeding, settling, and cuddles whenever needed, allowing the session to unfold naturally.
Working at home helps everyone feel comfortable, so I can gently capture these early days in a way that feels honest, quiet, and unforced.
Many families also choose to book a maternity session before their baby arrives. It’s a beautiful way to remember this chapter, and it can be combined with your newborn session to tell the full story from bump to baby.
What to expect from a newborn session
- Sessions take place in your home or a chosen familiar space
- I work with soft natural light and minimal equipment
- Feeding, changing and settling are always part of the session
- Parents and siblings are included gently and naturally
- Sessions are unhurried and calm
- If you’re thinking about maternity photos as well, I’m happy to talk through how we can capture both sessions in one connected story.

Newborn sessions
Gentle, natural newborn photography in the comfort of your home, focused on connection, calm, and the beauty of your baby’s first days.
These sessions are relaxed and baby-led, allowing plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and natural moments.
Newborn sessions are best held within the first 2–3 weeks after birth, when your baby is still very sleepy and naturally curled. However, beautiful images can be created at any stage.
I may ask for permission to share a small selection of images on my website or Instagram. If you prefer your session to remain completely private, a privacy option is available. Please let me know when booking.

Maternity & newborn story highlights
Maternity sessions
Gentle, natural maternity photography at home or outdoors, focused on connection and this special moment before your baby arrives.
Pricing follows the same structure as newborn sessions, keeping things simple and flexible.
Combined maternity & newborn sessions
This is one of the most meaningful investments you can make in preserving the beginning of your family’s story.
Many families choose to book both maternity and newborn sessions to create a complete and timeless record of this extraordinary transition. From the quiet strength and beauty of pregnancy to the tender, fleeting first days with your baby, these moments deserve to be remembered with care.
By booking both sessions together, we create a cohesive visual story with a consistent artistic approach and a calm, unhurried experience throughout.
Signature combined experiences
I offer exclusive combined experiences with preferred pricing for families who wish to document both chapters.

Maternity sessions are ideally photographed between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully visible and you still feel comfortable.
Newborn sessions are best captured within the first 2 to 3 weeks after birth, when your baby is in their earliest and most delicate stage.
Most families reserve their combined experience during pregnancy to ensure availability around their due date.
If this feels right for you, I would be honoured to create these images for your family.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Irina! She photographed our family (including my newborn) and managed to capture the most beautiful and genuine moments. She made us feel comfortable and at ease, which really shows in the photos. We will treasure these pictures forever. Highly recommend her!”
