Welcoming your baby into the world is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and a Fresh 48 session captures the raw, beautiful details of those first hours. Here’s how to prepare:
- Once you settle into your post-delivery room, have dad (or your support person) reach out to me. This way, you can focus on resting and bonding with your baby without having to coordinate details.
- I’ll come in, gently open the blinds, and use natural light to capture soft, timeless images.
- During the session, I’ll photograph your baby alone and with both parents, highlighting the precious connection between you.
- It’s completely normal for mom to be exhausted and less mobile—there’s no need to worry. I’ll guide you through comfortable, natural poses.
- If you’d like siblings included, let me know ahead of time. We can plan the best time for them to be happy and not hungry or tired.
Fresh 48 sessions typically take 30-45 minutes—just enough time to preserve these fleeting moments without being overwhelming.
