Fresh 48 Sessions

$350
AT BIRTH PLACE
APPROX. ONE HOUR SESSION

25-35+ DIGITAL IMAGES

The Fresh 48 Sessions take place wherever you choose to give birth. These sessions are for parents who want to capture the first 48 hours with their newborn. This is not a typical newborn session. I will not bring props or lights, or be posing the baby. This is to capture the first sweet new moments of being a family in a fresh and natural way. 

The first couple hours and days after delivery can often be a blur for moms and dads after all the emotions, and labour, and learning all about this new beginning in their lives. The Fresh 48 allows you to capture those moments, and remember this very special and emotional time in your life. As brand new parents, its nice to have something to remember the details of how it felt to look at your new baby, and how fresh and new they looked. Its an amazing time to capture. 

CAN OTHER FAMILY BE INVOLVED IN THE PHOTOS?

Absolutely. I encourage both parents and siblings to be a part of the photos. Some couples prefer grandparents be involved as well. I just wouldn't suggest adding too many family members past those that are immediate, as birth rooms tend to start getting rather crowded!

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?

Your comfort is what matters most. This is also meant to be a realistic, documentary-style session. Dressing up formally while still in the hospital wouldn't really make too much sense. Most moms choose something like yoga pants, a nursing top, and/or a robe. 

For dads, I recommend natural and light colours. I would recommend avoiding clothing with words or logos, or anything that would distract from the baby. Think simple and comfortable.

The baby does not need anything specific. The more basic (diaper, hospital swaddle, maybe a special onesie), the more real your photos will be. 

Don't stress about how you look. You just gave birth... you're officially a rockstar! Some dry shampoo and moisturizer... you'll be good to go!

I'M WORRIED HOW I'LL FEEL AFTER BIRTH...

I will do my best to make the session as stress-free as possible. I keep the session to one hour or less, to refrain from disrupting any of this precious time. I am there to capture those exhausting, exhilarating, and rollercoaster of emotions that come with having a new baby. If baby gets fussy and needs to eat, I will happily photograph some nursing images, or document hospital details in the meantime.
