Photographing Baby Harper at Duke Regional Hospital for her Fresh 48 photography session was such a sweet and magical time! Fresh 48 newborn photos are an incredible way to celebrate your baby’s birth and a wonderful way to pause time and remember all those little details of your baby in her first hours of life. As a newborn photographer in Cary, capturing the first moments of this new life through a Fresh 48 session at a hospital is a dream come true.
Read MoreBaby Macie will always hold a special place in my memory, as she was the focus of my first Fresh 48 Newborn Photo Session back in North Carolina! It was such a joy to be back in the hospital, capturing these memories through light and photography for her parents. This sweet girl was only 15 hours old, and we leaned all the way into her newness, with yawns, legs that kick out, then tuck back in, fingers that grasp her daddy’s thumb, sweet facial expressions, and that sleepy newborn glow. Fresh 48 Photography is about the beauty inside the realness, and it is always, hand-down, one of my favorite photo sessions to shoot in Holly Springs, Cary, and the Triangle area.

There are so many unknowns that go along with birth.
Do you really want to commit to a photo session the day after you have your baby?
Read MoreWhat do want to remember about your baby's newborn days?
This time, filled with caring for and getting to know your baby, is truly magical.
The way you hold your baby in your arms, quiet her cries, kiss her sweet cheeks, and soothe her to sleep.

They loved the idea of having beautiful photos of their sweet baby's first few hours, but it's such a delicate and emotional time, and with so many unknowns about how the birthing process would go, they were understandably nervous about booking the Fresh 48 portion.
Having never had a Fresh 48 session when my babies were born, I couldn't share my personal experience, but I was able to tell them about Will's.
