When you book a Fresh 48 session with me, it’s so much more than photographs—it’s a love letter to your baby’s very first hours earthside. This season is raw, fleeting, and worthy of being remembered with intention. Yes, we’ll capture a few sweet portraits, but the real magic lies in the quiet in-between moments—the way your baby nestles into your arms, the tiny fingers stretching wide, the soft yawns and brand-new expressions that change by the minute.

This is about celebrating the wonder of new life and the love that fills the room the moment your little one arrives. During your session, I’ll encourage you to simply soak it in—snuggle, breathe, gaze, cherish—while I document the poetry of these first precious hours together.

One day, your child will look back at these photographs and see not just how tiny they once were, but how deeply they were loved from the very beginning. ❤️

Maybe it’s the way your baby’s tiny fingers curl around yours, the soft sounds they make as they rest in the hospital bassinet, or the way your partner looks at them in complete awe. These are the moments I want to capture for you. Think of me as your quiet observer—documenting the love, wonder, and joy that fill those very first hours.

My goal is for you to look back at your Fresh 48 gallery and feel like I captured your story perfectly—from the tender snuggles and first feedings to the overwhelming love of welcoming your baby into the world.

the process

In the days leading up to your session, we will finalize location and discuss any styling needs you have. I can send you outfit ideas, mood boards with your vision in mind. I will be here to answer any questions you have. If you need any links to outfits I can send you that information as well! Think of me as your photography bestie! 

          Step 2
Prepare for your Session

2/4

I am going to let you in on a little secret. The best sessions are when my clients let go of any expectations and enjoy the moment. If your littles are grouchy, thats okay! The most important thing is to go with the flow. All of my sessions take place an hour to 45 minutes before sunset. The best advice I can give you for your littles is let them be little! You will be surprised how well these kiddos do in the late afternoons!

Frequently Asked Questions 

What is a Fresh 48 session?
A Fresh 48 session takes place in the hospital within the first 24–48 hours after your baby’s birth. It’s a lifestyle session that captures your baby’s very first moments earthside—the tiny details, the first cuddles, and the joy of your growing family.

How is this different from a newborn session?
Fresh 48 sessions happen in the hospital, usually within the first day or two after delivery, while newborn sessions are scheduled at home (or in studio) once you’re settled, typically within the first two weeks. Fresh 48 images are raw, real, and full of emotion—perfect for remembering those brand-new details that fade quickly.

When should I book my Fresh 48 session?
I recommend booking during your second or early third trimester to ensure availability. Once your session is booked, I’ll have your due date on my calendar and remain flexible since babies rarely arrive on schedule.

What if my baby comes early or late?
That’s totally fine! I keep space in my calendar to adjust to your baby’s timing. Just let me know as soon as possible once your little one arrives, and we’ll coordinate your session.

How long does the session last?
Fresh 48 sessions usually last about one hour. This gives us enough time to capture baby alone, parents, siblings, and those little in-between moments without overwhelming your new family.

What should we wear?
I recommend simple, comfortable, and neutral-colored clothing. Avoid bold patterns or logos so the focus stays on your baby. If you need styling help, I’m always here with suggestions or links to ideas.

Can siblings or grandparents be included?
Yes! Siblings are absolutely welcome, and I love capturing their first meeting with baby. Grandparents can be included as well—these moments are part of your family’s story.

Can we bring props?
Yes! Some parents bring a special blanket that's embroidered with their baby's name, a name sign, or a special outfit that the baby has to wear home. 

Do we need to let the hospital know about our photographer?
Most hospitals are used to Fresh 48 sessions, but it’s always a good idea to mention it to your care team so they know I’ll be coming in. I work respectfully and quietly to ensure your comfort during the session.
