An Inside Look
The Story of You Baby Book
With the arrival of a much-loved newborn comes the beginning of a new
story — one worth preserving with care and intention. But as we know
from our own littles, storytelling doesn't always come easy, time taking
a backseat to ever-occupied arms. It is our experiences as parents that
inspired us to simplify moment-marking, imagining a modern spin on the
classic
baby book....
meant to honor and celebrate the very best of that first, most
meaningful year.
Follow along as we flip through the pages, highlighting the unique details, thoughtful prompts, and elevated materials of a time-capsule-in-the-making — handcrafted for parents to hand down. We hope that you do so one day, sharing your gift with the simple words, "this is the story of you."
“I love the little prompts, which are there to help guide you towards documenting the everyday moments rather than typical milestones...We’re so pleased to have this lovely keepsake.”

The Features
A Book For All
Made for Every Family
Our Baby Book was created to cater to all types of families, no
matter the make-up. With gender neutral designs and inclusive
prompts that fit in with every family type (including twins!), it’s
an heirloom made for the diverse stories that star our littles.
Make It Yours
Storytelling, Simplified
The book begins with a table of contents to guide you through the
process and provide ideas for moments to capture along the way. The
prompts that follow are lighthearted, interactive, and completely
customizable, so it has never been easier (or more enjoyable!) to
give shape to the story. Imperfection is celebrated throughout the
book, putting an emphasis on the moments that matter most to you.
Not only is it filled with approachable prompts that act as starting
points to guide your writing, but there are optional photo
placements throughout that can be added, rearranged, and removed.
A Lasting Artifact
Crafted for Years to Come
Because a baby book is an heirloom that will remain in the family
for many years, we created
The Story of You
with durability it deserves. We hand-assemble each one with premium
linen, hand-selected papers, and gold foil stamping.
A Modern Look
Different by Design
We designed our baby book to stand the test of time in a world
that’s filled with endless trends. With its minimal layouts, the
emphasis remains on what matters most: your baby’s story. In
addition, the book is filled with elevated and modern touches
throughout, like a foil-stamped linen cover, curated colors,
graceful typefaces, and best of all, little vignettes of joy, filled
in with your photos and reflections.
Curated With Care
Thoughtfully Sourced Materials
Every aspect of
The Story of You
was crafted with purpose, including the materials that make up the
book. We hand-selected eco-friendly papers inside that feel premium
to the touch, with a smudge-free matte feel. The premium linen
covers are created using plant-based fibers instead of plastic,
which serves as a better choice for the environment. Even the box
that holds the book is 100% recycled. After all, just as we hand
down the stories in the pages, so too will we hand down their
settings.
Handcrafted at Home
Made in the USA
Starting with the paper sourced from and milled at a family-owned
maker in New York, every single part of the baby book is crafted and
assembled right here in the USA (even the included supplies needed
to make the book your own!).
Peek Inside the Pages
01
Life Before You
Every parent lives for the day that they get to tell loved ones
about their newest arrival. Reflect on how you shared the special
news here as a story your little one will look back on when they're
not so little at all.
02
Sharing the Big News
Every parent lives for the day that they get to tell loved ones
about their newest arrival. Reflect on how you shared the special
news here as a story your little one will look back on when they're
not so little at all.
03
What's in a Name?
Because there’s so much that goes into it, this section of the book
pays homage to all of the ideas, meanings, and ultimately, the
story, that led you to the perfect name.
04
Letter to You
Arguably one of the more meaningful parts of the book, this section
contains space to write your little a letter to revisit one day. No
matter the words, advice, or stories that you fill it with, know
that it will be an invaluable gift they preserve and hold dear.
05
Month-by-Month Milestones
It’s often said that with a baby, the days are long but the years
are short. That’s why we created a section of the book to write down
all of the things, big or small, that happened in a specific month.
It makes for an effortless way to record and revisit both the
milestones and everyday moments of the first year!

"It was so therapeutic and I am so proud. Not because I finished
the book, but finishing it really allowed me to reflect on how far
I’ve come in this journey."
@sunfox_photos
"We're expecting our second daughter later this year, and this
book was the perfect way to document her arrival — beyond
gorgeous, so well-thought-out, and easy to use."
@mrs_odendahl
"A physical baby book feels especially important right now, in an
age of so much digital content. We especially love the letter
pages and have commissioned our family — some of whom haven’t even
met our son due to COVID-19 — to write notes to him."
@lauraardington
"Sophie loves to look at 'baby Sophie,' so we occasionally take
out her baby book for storytime. It's one of her favorite books
now!"
Preserve What Matters Most
Remember: We curated this book to take the stress out of storytelling,
so don't fret over penmanship, grammar, ink smudges, or "deadlines."
Just take it at your own pace, making time when you can, embracing the
imperfection, and enjoying moments of reflection. When you pass it
down the coffee stain, your imperfect handwriting, the many beauty
marks bestowed by baby, will make it even more meaningful.
