Welcoming a new baby into the world is one of life’s most extraordinary moments—raw, emotional, and full of wonder. Fresh 48 photography is a beautiful way to preserve those first hours in a heartfelt, meaningful way.
As an Indianapolis Fresh 48 photographer, I help families remember the beginning of their baby's story with timeless, joyful images taken right in the hospital, birth center, or at home—within the first two days after birth.
What is Fresh 48 Photography?
Fresh 48 sessions take place within the first 24 to 48 hours after your baby is born. These sessions are relaxed, heartfelt, and focus on the beauty of this once-in-a-lifetime moment—before you even leave the hospital.
As your photographer, I provide gentle guidance and natural posing to help you feel comfortable while still allowing space for real, emotional moments to unfold. It’s a sweet blend of authenticity and artistry—perfect for remembering how tiny they were, how full your heart felt, and how it all began.
Fresh 48 images are natural, genuine, and full of connection. They capture not just what your baby looked like, but what those first hours felt like.
They’re perfect for remembering:
• The way your baby looked right after birth
• The joy and awe in your eyes
• Those once-in-a-lifetime first snuggles
Moments You’ll Want to Remember
Each Fresh 48 session is unique, but here are some of the sweet, fleeting moments we often document together:
• Tiny fingers and toes, still wrinkled and new
• Swaddles, first yawns, and hospital bassinets
• Your first snuggles as a new family
• First sibling or grandparent introductions
• Hospital details like baby bracelets and name cards
Why Choose a Fresh 48 Session?
The first 48 hours of your baby’s life are full of moments you’ll never want to forget. This session is all about capturing that emotional, joyful chapter of your story.
Fresh 48 photography is perfect for you if:
• You want to preserve the real, emotional first hours
• You’re drawn to storytelling over posing
• You love timeless images that feel genuine
• You’re already planning a newborn session and want to capture the full experience
What to Expect from Your Indianapolis Fresh 48 Photographer
When you invite me into your birth space, my goal is to keep everything stress-free and comforting. I arrive with minimal gear and a relaxed presence. No need to clean up or get dressed up—this is about real life and real love.
You’ll receive a gallery of images that are:
• Thoughtfully composed and filled with warmth

• Filled with joyful, heartfelt moments
I photograph Fresh 48 sessions at Indianapolis-area hospitals, birth centers, and homes for planned home births.
When and How to Book Your Session
It’s best to book during your second or early third trimester. I’ll reserve space on my calendar around your due date and be on-call so I can arrive within 24–48 hours of baby’s arrival.
