Our First Home Story

Ekaterina and Vladimir Sokolovs are the creative duo behind Our First Home Story — a family photography brand where every image is filled with tenderness, warmth, and meaning. We specialize in capturing the very first family stories — newborn and parent sessions that celebrate the beginning of a new chapter in life. Our style is defined by natural light, soft pastel tones, and genuine emotion. We believe that the first days and months of your baby’s life are pure magic — moments worth preserving not only in memory but in timeless photographs you’ll return to again and again. Each session is designed to be a cozy, relaxed experience where parents can simply be present, and little ones can be themselves. We create heartfelt family heirlooms that fill your home with love and connection.

Experience that matters

With over 10 years of experience, we’ve learned to capture genuine emotion, beautiful light, and the little moments that tell a family’s story. Our expertise allows us to create not just photos — but timeless memories that feel warm, real, and full of life.

Quality you can see

We use only top-of-the-line professional equipment and lighting — the same trusted tools used by leading photographers around the world. This ensures every image has natural tones, perfect sharpness, and a soft, cinematic look that makes your photos truly stand out.

Every story is unique

We believe every family has its own beautiful story to tell. That’s why we never work from a template — we listen, observe, and create a relaxed atmosphere where your true emotions shine through. Each session is personal, heartfelt, and crafted just for you.

Welcoming a new life is the beginning of your family’s most beautiful story. At Our First Home Story, we specialize in heartfelt in-home newborn and maternity photography across New York City. We believe that your home is where the most genuine moments unfold — filled with warmth, tenderness, and love. Each session is created with soul and sensitivity, capturing the quiet magic of your family’s first days together. No stiff poses, no rush — just real emotions, natural light, and timeless memories that you’ll treasure forever. We can also bring this magic to any beautiful location around New York City — from cozy parks and rooftops to elegant studios that we carefully select for your session. Let’s tell your first home story — with love, care, and a touch of art.
