The Fresh48 I deliver are soft, sweet, and timeless pieces of art that you will cherish for a lifetime.
Before I arrive I'll ask you to turn the heat up in your room. When I arrive, I open up all the blinds and tidy up a few items that may be out of place.
I usually begin with photos of the baby on their own in the bassinet and then head into parent and family photos.
Throughout the session I will be guiding you with simple prompts and will do my best to capture all images with 30-45 minutes, ensuring that the session is as easy and stress free as possible.
Having a baby is exhilarating, exhausting, and often becomes a hazy memory as you navigate adjusting to your new life.
Having these photos will add clarity to this special time!
I will come to the place of birth (hospital, home, birthing center) 24-48 hours after your baby is born to document this tremendously special time.

the sweetest first photos for your new baby
Absolutely! One of my favorite moments to capture is big brother or sister meeting the new baby for the first time. I suggest we begin the session without older kids in the room to focus on the new baby and then your partner/grandparents can bring them in for the big introduction.
Can my older children be in the photos?
No worries! Babies rarely arrive on their due date, and I'm prepared for early or late arrivals. When you book a Fresh48 session, weeks 38-41 are blocked off on the calendar meaning that if your baby arrives anytime during this window, I will be available.
What happens if my baby doesn’t arrive on their due date?
frequently asked questions
Most clients have a list of friends and family they want to contact when the big day arrives; add my name to the list! Once you head to the hospital in labor, have your support person contact me via text or email, and then contact me again once the baby is born.

timing
the fresh48
Your baby’s arrival might not be perfectly scheduled—but your photos can be. When you book a Fresh48 session, you’ll pay a session fee to reserve your due date on my calendar. This fee secures your spot and ensures that I remain on-call around your due date, ready to meet you at the hospital within the first 48 hours after your baby is born.

session fee + digital files
7-10 business days after your session, your photos will be ready to view and order from in an online gallery. It's at this time you will select your favorite images to receive as digital files. They will be fully edited and high resolution. You have full printing rights.
If you’ve ever shopped for art of any kind before, you know prices are all over the map… and that’s certainly true with photography as well. And like with other art, those prices aren’t easily compared - it’s not apples to apples.
My work may not be the cheapest in the area, but it's certainly one of the best values. My unique process ensures you'll get exactly what you want (along with as much - or as little - guidance as you need), and end up with beautiful images to print and enjoy for years to come.
My pricing structure is broken up into two parts.
A session fee is collected at the time of booking and reserves your time and date, access to studio wardrobe, and your online ordering appointment. The session fee is non-refundable. Digital files are sold separately.

During a Fresh48 session, I come to the hospital, or place of birth, sometime during those first two days after baby (or babies!) have been born and photograph you with your new bundle! This is a special add on session for those that book a newborn session with me.
