This past Saturday, I had the honor and privilege of photographing my very first "Fresh 48 Session"...photographing our friends and their brand new baby girl within the first 48 hours of her life.
Grandma was there too, so we were able to really get some fantastic photos.
Why do a "Fresh 48 Session"?
Your baby changes so quickly from the time that they are born, to the time you get home from the hospital. You'll want to remember the beautiful emotions and feelings you had during those first couple of days, especially when you go through the next couple of months in a "fog", due to lack of sleep, and overwhelming emotions. I truly believe that these photos will be ones that you and your families will cherish for life! Besides, those generic hospital photos can't do justice the love that you are feeling for this precious little one (or little ONES). They won't capture the moments when baby first meets siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles. But they will capture those precious nuzzles, sweet kisses, intent gazes, and loving smiles in the newness of this incredible little life.
Being photographed during the birth of your child may not exactly appeal to everyone. I know it wouldn't have for me! You will probably want to be able to clean up a bit, rest, eat
a good meal and get dressed after birth and so the "Fresh 48" Session will be done at a more comfortable time, in a slightly more comfortable situation. While I won’t
be on call 24/7, I do pre-book "Fresh 48" Sessions so that I am available within the first two days
after birth, during daytime hours, as soon as you call!
About the "Fresh 48" Session
- The Fresh 48 Session takes place when you call, during daylight hours, within the first 48 hours of birth. The sooner the better!
- It can take place at the hospital, birth center or at home and will last approximately 60-90 minutes.
- This is considered lifestyle photography – unposed, natural or available light. A mix of black and white and soft color images.
- Includes same-day (or next day if your session is late in the day) Facebook sneak peek for you to share with friends and family.
- Includes a $50 Credit to be used toward prints or canvases.
A Fresh 48 Session is not meant to take the place of a newborn session* Newborn photography also takes place shortly after birth but rarely
within the first day or two. Your Fresh48 session will happen right
after birth when those emotions are still high and everything is brand
new. There will be no props, studio lighting or baby posing!
These are two unique experiences offering two wonderful keepsakes from
two different times
in your family’s life. While possibly only days
apart, your baby will barely
even look the same by the time you do your newborn session.
Don’t miss the opportunity to make time stand
still with a "Fresh 48 session"!
In the meantime, let me know what you think about these photos!
