WHY DO A PHOTOSHOOT AT THE HOSPITAL?

A Fresh 48 session captures your baby’s very first hours earthside — the tiny details, the newness, the emotion, and the love that fills the room. Babies change so quickly, even within the first few days, and these photos preserve that fleeting newborn freshness before it slips away.

From their first yawns to the way they fit perfectly in your arms, a Fresh 48 session creates a timeless record of the moments you never want to forget. These images become the beginning of your baby’s visual story, giving you a beautiful way to remember just how small, new, and perfect they were in those first moments of forever.

What is a FRESH 48?

A Fresh 48 session takes place within the first 48 hours after your baby is born. It captures those raw, real, brand-new moments in the hospital or birthing center — before baby changes, before you go home, and while everything still feels beautifully fresh and new.

wHEN TO SCHEDULE?

It’s best to reserve your Fresh 48 session before baby arrives. Since these sessions take place within the first 48 hours after birth, booking in advance ensures I’m on-call and ready to come to the hospital or birthing center as soon as baby arrives.
