Hills District Fresh 48 Photographer

Fresh 48 Newborn Sessions

Fresh 48 photography in the Hills District, in your hospital room during your baby's first two days. Nothing is posed, nothing needs preparing, and the whole family is welcome in the photos. Every single photo is yours to keep from these sessions. I book Fresh 48 sessions by your due date, so your spot is waiting whenever your baby arrives.

Fresh 48 newborn photography

Fresh 48 sessions happen in the first 48 hours after your baby arrives, usually in your hospital room.

Nothing about those hours is tidy. It's interrupted sleep, half-eaten toast, and a baby with strong opinions at 3am. I'm not there to tidy it up, the hospital is the backdrop. I'm there because this is what it actually looks like.

So I come to you in hospital and photograph what's really happening. The first time you held them. Their impossibly small feet. The feeding, the dozing, the first visitors, and your older child meeting the baby they've been hearing about for nine months. The little hospital bracelet on their ankle.

There's nothing for you to do except be there. You've just had a baby, and I want you present for it. I'll photograph around you and let the morning go how it wants to.

These are the only photographs you will ever have of your baby on the day they arrived.

That's worth having.

The grandparents were flying in from overseas, and the timing was tight as this baby was very ready to be out in the world. They landed just in time. By the time I got to the hospital they were already in the room, and they got to meet their grandchild on the very first day. Three generations, one hospital room.

Nobody knew whether it was a boy or a girl, and they wanted to keep it that way until the moment he arrived. His big sister was the first one in the room to meet him, which meant she was the first to know. A surprise, a big sister, and a brand new baby brother, all in one morning.
