Cozy Christmas Photos at Home by the Tree

The most beautiful Christmas moments often don't happen at the market, but in the living room: when the tree lights up for the first time, when there is flour on someone's nose, when everyone is together on the sofa. That is exactly what I capture during an at-home Christmas shoot.

Why at home?

Your home is full of stories. Children feel safe, nobody gets cold and the weather does not matter. The pictures feel especially honest and warm.

Ideas for the shoot

• Decorating the tree — baubles from childhood, untangling fairy lights, the child who puts the star on top
• Baking cookies — rolling dough, cookie cutters, icing and lots of laughter
• Wrapping presents — paper, ribbons and little secrets
• Reading under a blanket — with candlelight and a favourite book

Making the light beautiful

I love working with natural light in the late morning or early afternoon, complemented by the lights of the tree. You don't need to rearrange anything — a little tidiness in the background is enough.

Small preparation, big effect

Comfortable clothes in calm colours, socks instead of slippers, and one favourite ritual you would like to show me. That is all it takes.
