Fresh 48 Newborn Portraits

What is a fresh 48 newborn session?

This unique and special session takes place in your hospital room within baby's 1st 48 hours. Capturing over 10,000 fresh 48 sessions, you can rest assured that your baby is safely handled with me. I'm up to date on all vaccines too! While most major hospitals are contracted with big box companies, hiring a private photographer for your fresh 48 portraits session is a completely different experience and outcome of images.  

This session can last up to 1 hr depending on what the baby needs during the session. During this time I will photograph all the important details, from baby's 1st yawn's, wrinkly feet, meeting their sibling for the 1st time can all be documented.  These sessions capture the real moments, so there are no props. It can be all about the baby if you're not feeling up to being in the images quite yet or we can include family too.

When considering a Fresh 48 session, contact me early to insure I can be on-call during the time the baby is due.  Just remember, babies come when they want to. Some come weeks early and some come up to a week late. I will be available when your little one arrives, but there is no way of really knowing. When in full active labor, shoot me a email or text and I'll know to schedule your session in the next day or 2. For scheduled or emergency c-sections, I can schedule your session on day 2 or 3, giving Mom some time to rest and heal.

These are some of the sweetest, most tender moments in a family's life, and I often get told that they are the most cherish photos they have. It feels so rewarding.
