Iris Photography Wirral

Hi, I’m Larisa — the photographer behind Iris Photography Wirral. Maternity photography is one of my deepest passions: from the moment I first trained in film photography at 14 to creating a warm, home-based studio inspired by my daughter Iris, I’ve built a practice that celebrates the beauty and quiet strength of pregnancy. As a maternity specialist serving Birkenhead and the wider Wirral, my approach is gentle, personal and collaborative. I work with each client in a relaxed, conversational way so you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. My studio is a custom-built, light-filled space with neutral tones and minimalist styling that provides a timeless backdrop for your bump photos. If you prefer an outdoor look, I’ll also help plan a natural, flattering location session. What sets my maternity photoshoots apart is attention to detail and a deeply human approach. I offer an extensive, inclusive wardrobe of flowing gowns, headpieces and accessories chosen to flatter all body types, and styling options can be discussed in advance. We begin with a pre-session chat to shape your vision — whether you want classic, glowing portraits, intimate family moments, or a modern editorial feel — and I guide posing and expression to capture genuine emotion. Maternity sessions are best scheduled when you’re comfortable and your bump is beautifully round; I’ll advise on timing and outfit choices during your consultation. Family and children portraits can be incorporated so you can document this chapter together. My goal is to create images you’ll treasure — elegant, heartfelt and made to feel like you. Choosing Iris Photography Wirral means choosing a local Birkenhead specialist who cares about connection, comfort and the subtle beauty of pregnancy. If you’d like to talk about a maternity photoshoot or plan a personalised session, I’d love to hear your ideas and help you capture this unforgettable time.
