There’s a kind of magic in the first 48 hours of your baby’s life. The world slows down, and for a brief moment, nothing else matters but the tiny miracle in your arms. Their delicate features, their first sleepy stretches, the way their little fingers instinctively wrap around yours—it’s a time of pure, unfiltered love. And yet, these moments pass by in the blink of an eye.


That’s where Fresh 48 sessions come in. These intimate, documentary-style sessions are designed to capture the raw beauty of those first hours—no props, no forced poses, just the real, honest love that fills the room. Whether it’s in the hospital, or the comfort of your own home, these sessions tell the story of your baby’s earliest moments, preserving the emotions, the details, and the connections that make this time so unforgettable.

Unlike traditional newborn photography, Fresh 48 is all about authenticity. It’s about the way your baby curls up naturally, the expressions of awe on your faces as parents, the soft kisses and gentle touches that speak louder than words. It’s about freezing these fleeting moments so that years down the track, you can look back and feel it all over again—the wonder, the exhaustion, the overwhelming love.

Birth photography is a beautiful way to document your baby’s arrival, capturing the raw strength, emotion, and love that unfold during labor and delivery. But it’s not for everyone, and that’s okay. If you prefer a more private birthing experience or simply didn’t have the chance to book a birth photographer, Fresh 48 is a perfect alternative. It allows you to still preserve the earliest moments of your baby’s life—those first cuddles, the newness, and the emotions—without having a photographer present during labor. It’s a gentle, intimate way to tell the beginning of your baby’s story while still embracing the beauty of professional photography.


These are the moments that deserve to be remembered. These are the first chapters of your baby’s story. And I would be honoured to help you capture them.


Bookings are now open for Fresh 48 sessions. Limited spots are available each month to ensure a relaxed and meaningful experience for every family. If you’re expecting and want to document these irreplaceable moments, let’s chat. I can’t wait to help you hold onto them forever.
