In the quiet of their first hours, every tiny breath and every little touch is a reminder of how precious and fleeting these moments truly are.

Fresh 48 Sessions

The First Touch, The First Look

The first moments with your newborn are some of the most fleeting and precious of your life. Fresh 48 sessions are all about capturing those raw, real moments—the first time your baby’s tiny fingers curl around yours, the quiet joy of their first breath, and the tender, unspoken connection between new parents. These aren’t just photos; they’re timeless stories of your journey, told through moments that you’ll want to hold forever.


Fresh 48 sessions are about telling the quiet, intimate story of your baby’s very first day.

Within 48 hours of birth, I’ll be there to document those first few hours of connection—whether it’s your baby’s first look around the world or the soft lull of their first nap in your arms. There’s no rushing, no posing—just real, candid moments that reflect the wonder of new life.


These moments are once-in-a-lifetime, and I would be honored to help you preserve them. Let’s connect and begin the journey of capturing your baby’s first memories together.

It’s best to book during your second or early third trimester. I reserve your due date and stay in touch as your birth approaches, so I’m ready when your little one arrives.

Birth is unpredictable, and I completely understand that! I keep my schedule flexible and ask you (or a trusted family member) to notify me as soon as labor starts or baby arrives, so we can plan accordingly.

Typically within the first 24-48 hours after birth, while you’re still at the hospital or birth center. These sessions are meant to capture those brand-new moments before you head home.

A Fresh 48 session typically lasts 45 minutes to an hour, allowing plenty of time to capture sweet, candid moments without overwhelming you or baby. I have had sessions go on a little longer due to interruptions from nursing staff but they are all usually really good about trying to wait til after the session is over.

Fresh 48 sessions are documentary-style, meaning I capture real, unposed moments—first yawns, snuggles, feedings, and tiny details. I may gently guide you for the best lighting but will never disrupt the moment. I try my best to more or less be a fly on the wall in your space.

Keep it simple and comfortable! Soft, neutral tones (whites, creams, earth tones) photograph beautifully. Baby can be in a swaddle or onesie. I recommend avoiding bold patterns or large logos to keep the focus on your connection.

You just brought a life into the world—you are beautiful. I focus on capturing the emotions, the connections, and the tiny moments that you’ll treasure forever. If you’re worried, I can use soft angles and natural light to keep things flattering and gentle.

What if my baby is fussy during the session?

Very rarely. I almost exclusively use natural light whenever possible to keep the images soft, warm, and true to life. However, there may be times when I need to bring our a secondary soft light to illuminate the area or subject if the lighting in the room isn't what I need.

That’s completely normal! We go at baby’s pace, allowing time for feeding, soothing, and snuggles. Some of the most beautiful moments happen in between.
