Fresh 48



Those first hours after welcoming a new baby are unlike anything else — emotional, exhausting, joyful, and incredibly fleeting all at once. These hospital or birth center sessions are designed to document your family exactly as you are during those earliest moments together, preserving the tiny details and genuine emotions that are so easy to forget in the blur of those first few days.


Rather than heavily posed images, the focus is on natural connection and real moments — tiny fingers wrapped around yours, siblings meeting baby for the first time, hospital bracelets, sleepy snuggles, and all the little details that tell the story of your baby’s very first days.


Sessions last up to one hour and include 40 edited high-resolution digital images selected by you from your gallery. Additional images are available for purchase after gallery delivery. Families who book both a Fresh 48 and Newborn Session will receive a bundle discount.

FAQ

When should I book my Fresh 48 session?

Fresh 48 sessions can be booked at any time during your pregnancy, but the earlier the better, as I accept a limited number each month. Once you reserve your session, I'll note your due date on my calendar. After your baby arrives, simply let me know, and we'll finalize the exact date and time based on your delivery and hospital stay.

Who can be included?

Fresh 48 sessions are designed primarily for parents, siblings, and your new baby. If grandparents happen to be visiting during your session and your hospital's visitor policy allows, I'm happy to include them in a few photos. However, because hospital rooms are often quite small, I generally recommend limiting the session to your immediate family whenever possible.

What should we wear for our session?

Comfort is the priority for Fresh 48 sessions, so there's no need to overthink your outfits. Soft, neutral colors are always a great choice, but the most important thing is that everyone feels comfortable. Moms are welcome to wear comfy pajamas, a robe, a cozy lounge set, or even their hospital gown—these sessions are about documenting this special season just as it is.

For dads, I recommend keeping things simple with a solid polo or button-down shirt in a neutral or muted color. Since hospital rooms are more intimate spaces, understated clothing helps keep the focus on your new baby.

Older siblings look wonderful in soft pastels, creams, whites, and other neutral tones. I also have a curated collection of outfits for young siblings available to borrow if you'd like.

For baby, a simple onesie, a well-fitting newborn outfit, or a swaddle are all wonderful choices. I'm happy to bring a classic outfit from my newborn wardrobe, along with swaddles and blankets, for you to choose from.

What if I don't feel camera-ready?

Please don't worry about looking "camera-ready." Fresh 48 sessions are about documenting this incredible season exactly as it is. Whether you're wearing a hospital gown, comfy pajamas, or your favorite lounge set, these images are meant to tell your family's authentic story.

Should I book both a Fresh 48 and a Newborn Session?

Fresh 48 and newborn sessions beautifully complement one another because they capture two completely different chapters of your baby's story.

A Fresh 48 session preserves the raw, emotional moments of your baby's first hours: the hospital room, first cuddles, tiny details, meeting siblings, and all the excitement of welcoming your little one into the world.

A newborn session takes place a little later, either in the comfort of your home or my studio, after you've had a few days to settle into life with your new baby. These sessions have a more polished feel, allowing time for family portraits, individual baby portraits, and a relaxed experience where everyone has had a chance to catch their breath and simply enjoy being together.

Together, these sessions tell the complete story of your baby's earliest days, from those unforgettable first moments after birth to the quiet, love-filled weeks that follow. Families who book both sessions also receive a bundle discount.
