Derek, Jeff, and baby Haven welcomed me into their home for a shoot that felt less like a session and more like being invited into something quiet and real.

There was no rush — just the natural rhythm of new parenthood. Bottles on the counter, soothers in mouth, speckled sunlight on the floor, and the kind of tenderness that shows up in the small gestures.

The love in that space filled the room. Honest, grounded, and deeply felt — the kind of moments that don’t ask to be posed, just noticed.
