Tips for your Fresh 48 Session

The first 48 hours after the birth of your baby is one of the most magical times of  your life. Seeing their squishy faces, snuggling their warm, fuzzy bodies, and introducing them to their older siblings is something you always want to remember, which is why you hired a photographer. Now you want to make sure the session comes off without a hitch. Here are some tips to do just that!

Fresh 48 | Stephenson Family Session

Mericar reached out to me on Instagram and when she told me she was planning on doing a waterbirth, I was so in that I was practically in the tub with her (see what I did there?) We met up at Twisted Sugar and enjoyed a cookie or two while we talked about what she could expect from me as her photographer and what she was hoping for with her birth.

Fast forward a couple of months and this appeared in my messenger inbox:

Family | Elise's Birth Story

Pregnancy | 39(ish) weeks

Photos taken at 30 weeks

Less than two weeks until her due date and it's about time I documented something about this pregnancy!

Family | Alexa's 4-year interview

What's my excuse this time for not getting this posted until half a year AFTER her birthday? *insert shrugging emoji here* Better late than never?

I was able to return a couple of days later to take some photos of the new family together, which is always a treat for me. It was pretty clear that this was one lucky baby with a completely obsessed mother and father!

About 3 or 4 weeks before the upcoming EDD of a client, I send out a message to ask them how they're feeling, what the doctor/midwife has been saying to them, etc. so that nothing really comes as a surprise to me. I also just like to keep up to date with them and chat because I'm excited, too!
