Springfield, Missouri Fresh 48 Photographer


Voted Best Photographer in Springfield, MO (2025)



APNPI-Certified Newborn Photographer


As a Springfield, Missouri Fresh 48 photographer, I specialize in Fresh 48 photography and hospital newborn photography that preserves your baby's first hours, first cuddles, and first memories.


Fresh 48 sessions typically take place within the first 24-48 hours after birth at your hospital or in the comfort of your home. These sessions are relaxed, natural, and focused on documenting your family's newest chapter exactly as it unfolds. No props, no elaborate posing, just genuine moments you'll never want to forget.


Since 2022, I've had the privilege of documenting growing families throughout Southwest Missouri. I proudly serve families throughout Springfield, Nixa, Ozark, Republic, Rogersville, Willard, Strafford, Battlefield, Fair Grove, Marshfield, Bolivar, and surrounding Southwest Missouri communities.


Fresh 48 photography and hospital newborn photography sessions are available throughout Southwest Missouri, including CoxHealth and Mercy Springfield in Springfield, Missouri, and Citizens Memorial Hospital (CMH) in Bolivar, Missouri.

Testimonials

We booked a Fresh 48, but our little one arrived early! When we reached out to Kaitlyn, there was no hesitation. She was able to get to us for our Fresh 48 the same day. Kaitlyn was so professional and genuine. We felt so comfortable with her handling our baby, and her newborn safety knowledge really shows. She is now a part of our story forever!

FAQ

What is a Fresh 48 session?

A Fresh 48 session is a lifestyle newborn photography session that takes place within the first 24–48 hours after birth. Fresh 48 photography focuses on preserving your baby's earliest moments, including first cuddles, tiny details, sibling introductions, and the emotions of welcoming your newest family member.

When should I book my Fresh 48 session?

I recommend reserving your Fresh 48 session during your second trimester to ensure availability around your due date. Once baby arrives, simply notify me and we'll schedule your session based on your birth and hospital stay.

What happens if my baby arrives early?

Babies arrive on their own schedule, and that's completely expected. Fresh 48 sessions are booked based on your due date, and I do my best to accommodate early or late arrivals whenever possible.

What hospitals do you serve?

I provide Fresh 48 photography throughout Southwest Missouri, including CoxHealth, Mercy Hospital Springfield, and Citizens Memorial Hospital. Home Fresh 48 sessions are also available.

Can siblings and grandparents be included?

Absolutely. Fresh 48 sessions are designed to document your family's newest chapter, and siblings, grandparents, and other close family members are welcome to be included when hospital policies allow.

What should we wear for Fresh 48 photos?

Simple, comfortable clothing in neutral or soft colors photographs beautifully. Fresh 48 sessions focus on authentic moments, so there is no need for anything formal or elaborate.

What if I have a C-section?

Fresh 48 sessions can still take place after a C-section. My approach is relaxed and baby-led, allowing plenty of time for recovery, feeding breaks, and comfort throughout the session.

When will we receive our photos?

Proof galleries are delivered within 2–5 business days. Once your selections are submitted, final edited images are delivered within 2–3 weeks.
