Capturing the First Moments of Life

Fresh 36 / Fresh 48 Hospital Sessions

The first hours after your baby’s birth are filled with indescribable emotion and beauty. Our Fresh 48 sessions are designed to capture those precious early moments—when your baby is just hours old, and the world is still new and wondrous.



What Are Fresh 48 Sessions?

These sessions take place within the first 36-48 hours after your baby’s arrival, offering a unique opportunity to document the very first hours of your newborn’s life.  These sessions are usually conducted in the hospital, birth center, or at home, capturing the natural, unposed moments as you begin to bond with your little one.


If mild complications arise after delivery or if you need additional rest, we can still complete these sessions closer to the 48-hour mark. Since discharge typically occurs around the 48-hour mark, these sessions are designed not to interfere with the discharge process, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.


Why Choose a Fresh 48 Session?

The first 48 hours are incredibly special, filled with once-in-a-lifetime moments that can never be recreated. A Fresh 48 session ensures that these memories are preserved forever, allowing you to relive the wonder of your baby’s first hours over and over again.


Booking Your Session:

Due to the spontaneous nature of birth, it’s best to book your Fresh 48 session in advance, usually around 30 weeks. When the time comes, simply notify us as soon as your baby arrives, and we’ll be ready to capture those irreplaceable moments.

What can you Expect?


Expertise and Safety:

Rest assured that your baby’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I am also a mother/baby nurse, and have been for the past 13 years, so I am highly trained in handling your newborn, ensuring that your baby is always in gentle and capable hands.


Raw and Authentic:

We focus on capturing the raw, genuine moments that occur naturally in those first hours—your baby’s first yawns, the way they grasp your finger, and the tender moments between you and your new arrival.


Family Connections:

Document the first connections between your baby and their family members, whether it’s a quiet moment between parents or the awe of an older sibling meeting their baby brother or sister for the first time.


Relaxed and Unposed:

There’s no need for props or setups—just be present in the moment. We aim to capture the natural beauty of these early hours, allowing you to focus on your new baby while we take care of the rest.


Quick and Meaningful:

The session is kept brief, typically lasting around 60 minutes, ensuring you have these precious moments captured without overwhelming your first hours of parenthood.
