Iris Photography Wirral specialises in family photography in Birkenhead. Larisa creates relaxed, timeless portraits—maternity, newborn, children and milestone sessions—in her light-filled studio.
At Iris Photography Wirral, family photography is our heart and craft. Led by Larisa—whose own daughter Iris inspired the business—we specialise in capturing the gentle, honest moments that make your family unique. Based in a purpose-built, home studio in Birkenhead, we focus on creating a calm, welcoming atmosphere where everyone from newborns to grandparents can feel comfortable and be themselves. Why choose us? Because we treat each session like a story. Larisa’s lifelong passion for photography and years of hands-on experience shape a relaxed, conversational approach that helps even the most camera-shy family members unwind. The studio’s light-filled, neutral aesthetic and carefully chosen props, textures and wardrobe options allow for clean, timeless images that will sit beautifully in your home for years to come. Our family sessions are built around connection, not stiff poses. Whether you’re celebrating a maternity moment, welcoming a newborn, marking a child’s milestone or booking a family portrait, Larisa guides you through natural interactions and candid moments—while also creating classic portraits you’ll treasure. We value collaboration: before every shoot there’s a friendly conversation to understand your vision, favourite colours, and the moments you want preserved. Practical care for families is central to how we work. The studio is designed with comfort in mind—private, cosy and fully equipped with a selection of outfits and props so parents can relax and babies can settle. Sessions are paced to suit little ones, with plenty of patience and gentle direction to capture authentic smiles, sleepy newborn cuddles and playful children’s energy. Beyond single sessions, we love documenting the journey of family life—from maternity glow to newborn snuggles and first-birthday milestones. Our editing style favours soft, timeless tones that emphasise emotion and connection rather than trends, ensuring your photographs remain meaningful as years pass. Based in Birkenhead and serving families across the Wirral, Iris Photography Wirral combines professional skill with a warm, personal touch. If you want a family photographer who listens, guides and crafts beautiful keepsakes in a calm, intimate studio setting, Larisa is ready to create images that truly reflect your family’s story.
