Because the most beautiful moments happen where love lives

1. Your baby's story starts here

This is where your baby first came home. Where you've spent sleepless nights, shared first feeds, and watched them discover light streaming through your windows. Your home isn't just a backdrop—it's the beginning of their story. Years from now, these photographs will show them exactly where their life began, surrounded by the love that welcomed them into the world.

2. Baby sets the pace

Forget rigid studio schedules. At home, we follow your baby's natural rhythm. Need to feed? Great! Nappy change? No problem. Those sleepy stretches and content sighs? That's when magic happens. Some of the most beautiful moments come during those in-between times—the gentle burp, the satisfied sigh, the way they curl into you after feeding. This is real life, and it's absolutely beautiful.

3. You're already in your comfort zone

Newborn photography at home means no packing bags, no travel stress, no wondering if you've forgotten something important. Stay in your comfiest clothes, keep those slippers on, and let me capture you exactly as you are in these early days. When you're relaxed, your baby feels it too. The result? Genuine moments of connection that you'll treasure forever.

4. The light that welcomed them home

That soft morning light filtering through your bedroom window. The gentle afternoon glow in your living room. This is the light your baby first knew, the light that danced across their face as they slept in your arms. Natural light creates photographs that feel warm, honest, and timeless—no harsh studio lighting, just the beautiful, soft illumination that makes your home feel like sanctuary.

5. These ordinary moments are extraordinary

The way you naturally hold them. Your partner's face when they're feeding. The little corner of the nursery where you rock them to sleep. These aren't posed moments—they're your life, captured honestly. In ten years, it won't be the perfect poses you remember; it'll be how your home felt, how love looked, and how beautifully ordinary (and extraordinarily precious) these early days really were.
