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.

Maternity & newborn story highlights
“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!”

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
Many families choose to book both sessions together. This allows us to create a complete early family story, with a relaxed maternity session before birth and a newborn session once your baby arrives.
When booking both sessions together, I offer a combined package with a reduced overall price.
If you’re unsure which option feels right, you’re very welcome to talk it through with me.
If you’d love newborn photos that feel natural, calm, and full of real moments, I’d love to hear from you.
