Frequently Asked Questions

Please feel free to drop me a message once you’re checking in or already checked in. While I’ll be happy to stay updated, the exact date for the session will only be confirmed once you have delivered and are settled in your room. This allows me to plan around your recovery and your baby’s schedule, typically within the first 24-48 hours after birth.

While Fresh 48 sessions are typically done within the first 24-48 hours after birth, they can still be scheduled a little later if needed. Some families prefer to wait until they’re more rested or until they’re home from the hospital. If there are any medical reasons, C-section recovery, or hospital restrictions, we can adjust the timing while still capturing those early newborn moments. The key is to photograph your baby while they’re still in their newborn phase, usually within the first few days.

In most cases, you don’t need special permission from the hospital for a Fresh 48 session. However, it’s always a good idea to check with your nurse about the newborn’s schedule. Hospitals sometimes have routine procedures like pediatric checkups, hearing tests, or vaccinations, so knowing when your baby will be in your room helps us plan the best time for your session. If needed, we can work around these schedules to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience.

Absolutely! Siblings are welcome to be part of the session. A Fresh 48 shoot is a beautiful way to capture the first moments between your newborn and their older siblings, whether it’s their first meeting, gentle cuddles, or sweet kisses. If the sibling is very young, we recommend having another adult present to help. Just check with the hospital’s visitor policy to ensure siblings are allowed in the room during the session.

Since due dates are unpredictable, we keep a flexible schedule. Just notify us as soon as possible after birth so we can plan accordingly.

We understand that birth and recovery are unpredictable. If needed, we can adjust the session date or switch to an at-home newborn session.

Fresh 48 sessions focus on authentic, unposed moments, like your baby’s tiny details (fingers, toes, etc.), first cuddles with parents, siblings meeting the newborn, and emotional interactions in those first few hours.
