You’re going to spend hours gazing at your newborn, but the memory of those adorable features will get fuzzy and babies change.  Their tiny lips, fingers, toes, belly button - You want to remember these! 

My Fresh 48 Session is a 60-minute photo session at your baby's place of birth within 48 hours of delivery: in your hospital room, birthing center, or home.  Babies begin to change and grow immediately and I love to document these precious first hours before they're gone forever.   Siblings, parents, and grandparents are also welcome to join us. 

This session isn’t styled or posed, I will be capturing your baby's first hours in a natural way for a timeless look.  It is a super relaxed session and I won’t be bringing lighting equipment or props.  I’ll make general suggestions for holding the baby and each other and only what you’re comfortable with. You should dress very comfortably.  Moms: you may want to wear a nursing tank and a bathrobe or yoga pants if you're feeling up to it.   

Dear Mom, You are perfect now!  Please don’t avoid being present in these portraits.  Don’t forget that you created a baby, read the books, remembered to breathe, rocked the art of birth, and you were made for this!  You’re Super Wonder Woman and should have a golden (nursing) bra to show for it.  It is important that you exist in photographs for yourself, your family, and your child to enjoy later.  Please don’t fret over how you think you appear after having a baby, you’re gorgeous and that glow will show through! 

I’ll be there to capture your baby's first yawns, stretches, and swaddles.  You can breathe a sigh of relief knowing you can always look back at these moments with artwork on your walls or a beautiful album. 

I’m fully vaccinated and always wash my hands frequently.  During the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic I will need to check with your hospital to see if I will be allowed in.  I will be wearing a mask and gloves.  I’m a mom of two and have lots of experience with newborn safety and handling babies properly.
