There is nothing as tender or inspiring as creating the first images of a brand new family. I've been doing Fresh 48 and baby portraits for over a decade now, and have specialty training to make sure baby is being treated with utmost safety. My Fresh 48 work can be baby led and entirely lifestyle, or a hybrid with some posing. I do have a variety of charming baskets, buckets, blankets and wraps to bring along if you'd like some more "styled" picks of baby.  I work with families both while still in the hospital or at home within 7-9 days of baby being born for that newborn experience. Babes that have gotten a little older can be photographed at home or a park location, because it doesn't get much cuter than a babe sitting up in a flower garden or doing tummy time on a beach blanket by the sea.

My training extends to helping older siblings safely hold baby too, so don't be afraid to get your toddler in the mix. I know lots of darling ways to include them and capture those sibling moments. 

Another wonderful reason to capture those first moments together as a family...Having mom and dad together in the pictures. It might feel tempting to just take pictures of each-other holding the baby, but a picture of the three of you is a real keepsake, and an important part of our session.

Can't wait to meet your newest addition!
