Capturing Your Family and Sibling Bonds at Home
Your newborn's arrival is a family affair. I capture the gentle, honest connections between siblings, parents, and grandparents—all in the comfort of your own home.
There is nothing sweeter than a big sister's love. Capturing this gentle embrace was a truly special moment, a memory this family will look back on for years to come.

About this collection
Handling older siblings during a newborn shoot requires patience, not just a good camera. I guide them through the process, turning the session into a gentle playdate where they feel proud to be involved rather than forced to pose, ensuring we get those natural, snuggly embraces while keeping the baby safe.
The arrival of a new member changes the dynamic of a home, and capturing that shift—the pride of a big brother, the protective hug of a big sister, or the joy in a parent's eyes—is my favorite part of the job.
Why At-Home Family Sessions Work
When we do the shoot in your own space, your older children feel more relaxed and secure. They are in their own territory, which makes them much more willing to cooperate for portraits. I bring my full studio setup to you, so we aren't rushing to a studio or dealing with the stress of traffic.
The Sibling & Family Process
Safety is non-negotiable. Whether I am capturing a shot with a newborn and a toddler or incorporating extended family like grandparents and aunts, every pose is carefully managed.
- Sibling Integration: For families booking the Signature 3-Setup Sibling Package, I dedicate extra time to get the siblings comfortable with the baby. I use props and cues that make it fun for them, turning 'holding the baby' into a game of 'being a big helper.'
- Flexible Timings: My sessions range from 3 to 6 hours. This ensures we have plenty of time for feeds, cuddles, and breaks. If your toddler is having a grumpy moment, we stop, play, and wait for the mood to shift. We never force a pose.
- Generational Portraits: From macro shots of tiny toes to wide-angle generational portraits with grandparents, my goal is to document the entire family unit.
If you have a pet that is part of the family, we can include them too, provided they are comfortable. These portraits are about real bonds, not stiff, unnatural posing.
Little Happy Feet
I'm the heart behind Little Happy Feet, and for me, a family session is about documenting the start of a lifetime bond. I don't just photograph your baby; I catch those proud big brother grins and the tender way a new mother holds her little one. It is all about capturing the magic of your family in the place you feel most at home.
