What is a Fresh 48 newborn Session?


The initial hours and days following childbirth are a whirlwind of emotions and experiences, often slipping by in a beautiful blur. Fresh 48 Newborn Photo Sessions act as a cherished pause button, capturing the essence of those first fleeting details that define the miracle of new life. 

A Fresh 48 Photo Session is an intimate affair designed for families that long to immortalize the initial hours of their baby's journey without stepping into the intricacies of labor and birth. This session occurs at at your place of birth (hospital, birthing center or home) within the first 48 hours of delivery.  It's a celebration of the fresh squishy moments, the delicate wisps of hair, and the tiny wrinkly fingers and toes that make up the early chapters of your newborn's story.


The arrival of your baby is a monumental life event.  The culmination of months of anticipation when you are finally able to hold, kiss and smell your miracle for the very first time.  A Fresh 48 Session steps into this profound space capturing the excitement, wonder and connection of these first magical interactions.  It’s the seemingly simple details that weave the tapestry of this extraordinary moment – counting fingers, smoothing downy hair, and absorbing every nuance of the new person entrusted to your care.

During the session, my role is to seamlessly blend into the background, a silent observer seeking out the best natural light and angles. The result is a visual narrative of your family's newfound addition, portrayed with artistic and breathtaking honesty. These are not posed images but rather genuine captures of the interactions between you and your baby during the quiet moments, the initial feedings, the first diaper changes, and emotional family meetings.


Care for you and your newborn always takes priority.  I will happily step aside (or outside if you prefer) to allow for medical checks to be made.  I focus on documenting the newness of your baby's features - those delicate wisps of hair, pouty lips, round tummy and the breathtaking newborn details that evolve so rapidly. All the while, I engage in friendly conversation with you and your husband, ensuring a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere for everyone involved.


In the midst of the beautiful chaos that surrounds the birth of your baby, a Fresh 48 Newborn Session emerges as a timeless ode to the delicate moments that define the beginning of a new chapter. It's a celebration of authenticity, an artful collection of unposed images that encapsulate the profound connection between you and your newborn. Choose the magic of Fresh 48, and let the details of your baby's first hours unfold in a beautiful, honest narrative that will be cherished for a lifetime.
