Fresh 48

What is a Fresh 48 Session?

A Fresh 48 Session perfectly captures your little one’s first hours as they happen in the hospital along with your first moments as a new family! These moments and memories will go by quickly but we can preserve them forever for you.  These sessions do not include the posed or prop shots you see in my studio work.

Other Questions:

WHAT SHOULD YOU BRING TO THE HOSPITAL TO BE READY FOR YOUR SESSION?

For Baby, you don’t need to bring anything with you.  However, if you wish to do so, a small hat, bonnet or headband would be great.  If you prefer to use a blanket or wrap of your own, just make sure it is not too bulky.  Outfits and baby clothes are not recommended.

For Mom, a soft and simple maxi dress or a pretty nightgown work beautifully.

For Dad, a SOLID shirt in neutral colors (gray, black, blue or white).  Avoid small patterns, bright or neon colors, or graphics.

For any siblings, avoid small prints and bright or neon colors.  If the older sibling is a girl and you plan on putting her in a dress, please remember shorts or something under the dress.  Otherwise, anything that will make them happy!

WHAT IS INCLUDED WITH THE SESSION?

Fresh 48 sessions are ALWAYS all-inclusive.  I cannot guarantee a certain number of images however, you will receive the full gallery for your 30-minute session.

HOW DO YOU SCHEDULE A FRESH 48 SESSION?

It is always best to setup a tentative date as early as possible.  Although we will not know the exact date, having a tentative date on my calendar will secure your spot.  Because of the necessity of a flexible schedule for these sessions, I can only accept a few Fresh 48 sessions per month.

Once the baby is born, contact me as soon as possible.  Even better, let me know when you are in early labor.  Since we typically only have 2 days in the hospital is is important to get the time set-up as early as we can.
