What is a fresh 48 session

And how is it different from a newborn session?

Fresh 48's are done within the first 48 hours of your baby's birth, and your journey of childbirth. The thing I love about Fresh 48's is the absolute realness of the moment. This can include IV's still in mom's arm, dad sleeping on that super comfy couch/chair (still haven't figured out if it's a couch or chair), or a vernix covered babe.

My newborn sessions are typically done around a few days to a week after baby's birth. These are longer sessions, as baby is awake more and requires more feedings.

Where does a Fresh 48/Newborn session take place?

These sessions take place where you deliver, whether that be at the hospital or your home if it's a home birth. We set up a time and I come to you. These sessions should take no more than 30 minutes so that you can get back to snuggling your sweet baby, however I go with the flow of baby.

So if they need to stop and eat, or be changed that is perfectly fine! After all, they are the star of the show (alongside mom). All you need to do is talk with your nurse and ensure that I have access and confirm visiting hours. Easy peasy!

Newborn sessions are done in the comfort of your own home and are 90 minutes long.

What are your packages for each?


Fresh 48 sessions are $400 / 20 images / 30 minutes
