Welcome to Our Fresh 48 Sessions
Congratulations on the arrival of your newest family member! The first 48 hours after birth are a whirlwind of emotions, moments, and memories that you'll want to cherish forever. Our Fresh 48 sessions are designed to capture the raw beauty and genuine love that surrounds this precious time.
What is a Fresh 48 Session?
Fresh 48 sessions are lifestyle photo sessions that take place within the first 48 hours after your baby's arrival. Unlike birth photography, which focuses on documenting the birth experience itself, Fresh 48 sessions capture those tender moments of connection, joy, and wonder as you and your family bond with your newest addition.
Why Choose a Fresh 48 Session?
These sessions are all about preserving the authenticity of those early moments. From the first time siblings meet their new brother or sister to the gentle touch of a parent's hand, every interaction is captured in a natural and unposed manner.
Where Do Fresh 48 Sessions Take Place?
Fresh 48 sessions typically occur in the comfort of your hospital room, birth center, or home. We understand that every birth experience is unique, which is why we tailor each session to suit your individual preferences and circumstances.

FAQ
What is the difference between Fresh 48 sessions and birth photography?
While birth photography focuses on documenting the actual birth experience, Fresh 48 sessions take place within the first 48 hours after birth and capture the raw, tender moments as you and your family bond with your newborn.
When should I book my Fresh 48 session?
It's best to book your Fresh 48 session as early as possible to ensure availability. We recommend contacting us during your pregnancy to reserve your spot.
What if my baby arrives earlier or later than expected?
Don't worry! We understand that babies have their own timeline. We'll adjust our schedule accordingly and be ready to capture your baby's first moments whenever they arrive.
Can family members be included in the session?
Absolutely! Fresh 48 sessions are a wonderful opportunity to include siblings, grandparents, and other family members in the photoshoot. Just let us know who you'd like to include, and we'll make sure to capture those special moments. For hospital births, be sure to consider the visitor guidelines.
What should we wear for the session?
We recommend wearing comfortable and neutral-colored clothing that allows you to relax and focus on your new baby. Soft, solid colors work well and can help create a timeless look in your photos.
Can I purchase additional prints or products?
Yes, of course! In addition to the included album and digital images, we offer a range of high-quality prints, canvases, and other products to showcase your favorite photos. Just let us know what you're interested in, and we'll be happy to provide more information.

Yes, we understand that investing in photography is a significant decision. We offer flexible payment plans to make it easier for you to capture these precious memories. Please contact us for more details.
How soon will we receive our photos after the session?
We aim to deliver your edited digital images and video slideshow within 2-3 weeks after your session. Your album will be ready for delivery within 4-6 weeks, depending on the design process.
What hospitals and birth centers do you photograph in?
Our nearest hospital is Hanford's Adventist Health Hospital Birth Center, however, we are happy to provide services to any hospital in Kings, Tulare, or Fresno County. Hospitals beyond 30 miles of Lemoore may require a travel/mileage fee. Please inquire for more details.
