What is a Fresh48?

*With current visitor restrictions at hospitals, these sessions are not currently possible. However, I am hopeful that those restrictions will be lifted in the near future.*

A Fresh48 is an amazing opportunity to capture some of your first moments together as a family. With first babies, these sessions are intimate and beautiful and raw—parents have been birthed alongside their new baby. This is a tender and fleeting time.

However, perhaps my favorite version of these sessions is when there are older siblings. In the case of a hospital birth, I like to arrive about 30 minutes before the other children will come to meet their new sibling. I take that time to document the parents and sweet newborn alone. Then, I get the great honor of documenting those little hands reaching for their newest friend, those precious little kisses, and the cutest expressions of pure adoration.

If hospital restrictions are still in place, those first moments of meeting a new baby can of course happen at home! Instead of Grandma and Grandpa bringing the proud sibling(s) to the hospital, I can meet them at home. I can spend time documenting the kids as they are in the comfort of your home, and catch that same excitement when you pull in the driveway and bring the new baby to them. Even though your Fresh48 session might look a little different from this one, those moments are still one hundred percent worth remembering and documenting.

If you live in the East Valley (Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, Scottsdale), I would love to be part of this special time in your family’s life. Please contact me here.
