Fresh 48 vs Lifestyle Newborn Sessions

Welcoming a new baby is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and I offer two beautiful ways to capture those first days: Fresh 48 sessions and Lifestyle Newborn sessions. Both create meaningful keepsakes, but each offers a unique perspective.

Fresh 48

When: Within the first 48 hours after birth

Where: At the hospital

Style: Raw, real, and documentary

What to expect: Fresh 48 sessions capture the very first hours of your baby’s life. From tiny hospital bracelets to first yawns, snuggles with parents, and siblings meeting the baby for the first time, these images preserve all the emotion and fleeting details you’ll want to remember. These sessions are unposed and natural, focused on telling the story of those earliest moments together.

Lifestyle Newborn

When: Typically within the first two weeks after birth

Where: In the comfort of your home

Style: Relaxed, natural, and lightly posed

What to expect: Lifestyle sessions give you the chance to settle in as a family and capture your baby’s first days at home. These sessions are slow-paced with plenty of time for feeding, diaper changes, and snuggles. They highlight your connection as a family, incorporating meaningful spaces like the nursery, master bedroom, or living room.

Who Can be included?

Siblings and grandparents are always welcome to be part of these session, or we can keep the focus on baby and siblings only. These sessions are flexible, and we’ll create a gallery that reflects your family and this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

A Complete Collection You’ll Treasure

I keep things simple with one all-inclusive price. Whether you choose a Fresh 48 session at the hospital or a Lifestyle Newborn session at home, your investment covers it all.

There are no hidden fees or complicated packages—just a complete story of your baby’s first days.

I believe your photos should live beyond the screen. That’s why every session includes an 8x8 album. While digital images are wonderful for sharing, there is nothing like holding your baby’s story in your hands. Years from now, your child will be able to flip through these pages, seeing themselves as a newborn and feeling the love that surrounded them from the very beginning.

What does the package includes:

Photographer's Time and Talent
One to Two hour sessions
A full collection of professionally edited images delivered in a private online gallery
A custom-designed 8x8 heirloom album
