Fresh 48 Session
newborn baby's life. It's so important to capture them at this stage because newborns grow and change so much during those first few days. Many of my clients choose fresh 48 sessions because it gives parents the opportunity to rest and get photo ready after a sometimes long and exhausting labor and delivery.
Fresh 48 sessions, also known as hospital photography sessions are a great alternative to birth photography. These sessions are named Fresh 48's because they take place during the first 48 hours after your baby's birth. These are my favorite sessions because they allow me to capture and preserve those first few days of your

My Approach
When you are packing your hospital bags be sure to include the outfits that you and your family will wear for your session. For your partner, keep it simple like jeans and a neutral solid colored top. For you, wear something comfortable. Those first few days after delivery will have you wanting to stay in your pjs forever!

FRAMED STATEMENT ART
I offer custom framing services and my goal is to give my clients the most archival framing possible. The absolute best way to protect your prints for the longest amount of time is by getting them properly framed behind glass, conservation acrylic or museum acrylic. This gives the highest level of protection against UV light and dust.
CUSTOM GALLERY WALLS
Designing a gallery wall can be an overwhelming task. I am here to help guide you in creating a layout that comes together beautifully, with the option of growing with your family through the years. With my design program, we will take all guesswork out of the process and create a layout that fits perfectly in your space, and complete the process by installing your frames for you.
heirloom albums
Showcase your favorite images in a custom designed Heirloom Album that can be past down through the generations. Many families enjoy creating an album that highlights each milestone, giving a library of memories to their children. Others choose to create a First Year Album that is built overtime and completed with their baby's 12 month session.
