After laboring for hours, functioning on very little sleep and navigating the unknown waters of nursing, swaddling and general parenting; your time in the hospital is a complete blur. It’s easy to forget those tiny wrinkles, the teeny tiny toes and that fresh and brand-new belly button. These first few hours speed by in a blink of an eye.
Fresh 48 sessions are the most wonderful sessions. They take place in the hospital, within 48 hours of birth. They also can take place in a birthing center or even at home if you choose a home birth. These sessions are a great alternative to birth or in-home newborn lifestyle sessions. You might want the memories from the hospital, but opt out of a full birth session. It’s also a great alternative to in-home newborn lifestyle. As much as I LOVE the story those sessions tell, fresh 48s eliminate the need to clean the home, fully prepare the nursery and potentially take a day off of work. Fresh 48 sessions are quick, easy and allow for that lifestyle and documentary approach while you are conveniently still in the hospital.
What to expect:
I’ll spend 30-45min with you and your little one. We’ll photograph the family and any new siblings. I’ll spend time with the babe while you rest, then a few of you as a family and individuals of mom and dad with the new baby. Breaks for nursing or resting or general calming is totally expected. I’ll help guide you with outfit, swaddle or color selection for the baby and the whole family. This session is meant to document these first moments, whatever they look like.
