The Experience

 

Baby lying on floral background with white and orange daisies wearing a matching headband.

Honest, fleeting, and beautifully real.


Fresh 48 sessions are all about preserving those first raw, emotional hours after your baby arrives—the wrinkly fingers, sleepy yawns, and the way you look at your new little love for the very first time.


I’ll meet you at the hospital, birth center, or your home within the first two days after birth, capturing your story quietly and unobtrusively. No posing, no pressure—just the real, tender moments of your baby’s very first chapter.

The Fresh 48 Process

 

1.Fill out the form

 

Fill out the questionnaire attached to your booking link. While filling out the details for your session you will also receive a prep guide to best prepare you for your session

 

 

Sign the Contract

 

You will fill out the contract before you complete the booking process. I intended to make it as stress free as possible by including the contract in the booking link.

 

 

3.Picture time

 

Once baby arrives, just send me a quick message! I’ll meet you at the hospital, birth center, or your home within 24–48 hours for a relaxed, documentary-style session. No posing—just the raw, beautiful realness of your first moments together.

 

 

4.Delivering photos

 

Fresh 48 sessions offer a 1-2 week gallery delivery process AFTER you submit your proofs from your proof gallery. I give my clients the option to pick your favorite images. This allows time for careful editing and attention to detail, ensuring that each image reflects the beauty and emotion of your special day.
