Liz & Isaac contacted me to inquire about Fresh 48 sessions and decided to book. They were having their little girl at Piedmont Hospital and very excited about it. I invited them to stop by the studio to meet with me in advance of their daughter's birth because I always like to meet my Fresh 48 clients in advance when possible. When you've just had a baby, you can feel very vulnerable and a stranger walking into your room to photograph you might not be something you're wild about. They stopped in, and we had a good conversation getting to know each other and about what to expect from their session. Liz let me know that she was in labor, and I waited to hear from her that Frances had been born. When she let me know, I asked if she wanted me to come that same day in the afternoon or the next morning. She decided the next morning would be better for her so that she could get some sleep and have a chance to refresh.
When I arrived at the hospital, France was sleeping in her bassinet with her cute little hospital bow hat. I opened up the blinds and made a few changes to the room, and we got started. Fresh 48 sessions are EASY. They only require you to love your baby. Some first time parents have never held babies until their own, so they can be a little bit uncomfortable with it at first but we move slowly and take our time. I provide you with guided direction for natural interaction if you're a bit stumped on what to do. Being in front of a camera can sometimes make you freeze up and not know what to do, and I completely understand that and will work with you and your partner. Your resulting images will be natural and unforced and capture you and your baby exactly as you were in those first few days. When you look at them years from now, I want you to smile as you look at your baby's tiny features and remember how their head fit perfectly in the palm of your hand. You might even remember their perfect little baby smell and the way they sighed before a little smile twitched across their face. These moments are why I'm a photographer. There is no better job in the world than being able to freeze time and irreplaceable memories forever for families as they grow.
If you're pregnant and looking for a newborn or maternity photographer, I would love to work with you to create images that you will love for a lifetime. Be sure to view this short 1.5 minute film to hear about my philosophy and see how I work in the studio so you can determine if I'm the right fit for you. I can't wait to meet you!
