Lifestyle Newborn
Lifestyle newborn sessions are slow, baby-led, and focused on connection at home. These sessions document the quiet beginning — feeding, soothing, holding, and settling in — without posing or pressure. Time is built in for natural rhythms, allowing space for comfort, rest, and the small moments that shape your first days together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Fresh 48 session?
A Fresh 48 session documents the first hours after birth, typically within 48 hours, in a quiet, documentary style. These sessions focus on connection, details, and the beginning—without posing or interruption.
When do you arrive after the baby is born?
Timing is coordinated once baby arrives. Sessions typically take place within 24–48 hours, depending on how everyone is feeling and hospital or birth-center guidelines.
Do I need to schedule a date in advance?
I do recommend scheduling Fresh 48s and lifestyle newborn sessions at least two to three months prior to your due date.
We will use your due date as the tentative session date. Fresh 48 sessions are placed on a flexible on-call calendar around your due window, and we finalize timing once baby arrives.
What if my birth is early, late, or changes unexpectedly?
That’s completely okay. Fresh 48 sessions are designed to be flexible. The on-call period starts 2 weeks prior to your delivery date, but as long as access is permitted, we adjust timing based on your birth experience.
Who can be included in the session?
Parents and siblings are always welcome. Additional visitors may be included if permitted by the facility at the time of the session.
What if the hospital doesn’t allow photographers?
Hospital policies vary. It’s the client’s responsibility to confirm access ahead of time. If access is restricted, your session may be converted to a Lifestyle Newborn session instead.
Do you pose the baby or family?
Fresh 48 sessions are unposed and documentary in nature. Gentle guidance may be offered if requested, but the focus is on natural moments.
What should we wear?
Neutral, comfortable clothing works best. Hospital gowns, swaddles, and simple layers photograph beautifully. A detailed “What to Expect” guide is provided after booking.
When will we receive our gallery?
Fresh 48s receive priority editing. Sneak peeks will be delivered within 48 hours while your full gallery will be delivered within the standard turnaround time listed in your agreement. Rush delivery may be available upon request.
