The very beginning, just as it was
A Fresh 48 session documents the first 24–48 hours after your baby is born, while you’re still in hospital.
These sessions are slow, gentle, and entirely baby-led. Allowing space for feeding, resting, and simply being together. Some moments may be still, others may be emotional or messy. All of it belongs. There is no posing, no pressure, and no expectation for things to look a certain way. Just a quiet, respectful presence as you meet your baby and begin this new chapter together.
Fresh 48 sessions focus on the in-between moments. Tiny details, first cuddles, sibling introductions.
Moments that often feel like a blur, but deserve to be remembered.
Is a Fresh 48 session right for you?
Fresh 48 sessions are for parents who want to remember their baby in those first hours. Raw, real, and perfectly themselves.
If the idea of an un-styled, slow, baby-led session feels comforting rather than overwhelming, a Fresh 48 may be a beautiful way to preserve the very beginning of your story.
If you’re drawn more to styled images or prefer to wait until you’re home and settled, a newborn session may feel like a better fit, and that’s perfectly okay.
If that resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you.
FAQ
What if I’m exhausted or not feeling up to photos?
Your wellbeing always comes first. These sessions are flexible and guided by how you’re feeling on the day. We can move slowly, pause when needed, or keep things very minimal. Often, the quietest moments are the most meaningful.
What if birth doesn’t go to plan?
Every birth is unique, and sometimes things don’t happen exactly as planned. That’s okay. If your birth or postpartum experience changes, we can be flexible with your session. Whether that means rescheduling, adjusting the timing, or moving from a Fresh 48 to a newborn session, we’ll work together to make sure your family still has beautiful, meaningful images to treasure.
What should we wear?
Comfort is key. Soft, neutral clothing photographs beautifully, but hospital blankets, wraps, pyjamas, and first outfits are always encouraged, they are a part of your story.
What happens if I get transferred away from Inverell to birth?
Transfers can sometimes happen, and that’s completely understandable. If you’re moved for your birth, once things have settled and you’ve had a little time with your newborn, just send me a message. Any funds you’ve already paid for a Fresh 48 session can be applied to a newborn session when you return home.
Booking & availability
Fresh 48 sessions are best booked in advance, as I remain on-call around your due date to allow flexibility once your baby arrives. To support this, I intentionally limit the number of sessions I accept each month so I can keep space available. Birth rarely follows a strict timeline and babies can arrive much earlier or later than expected.
Last-minute enquiries are always welcome and I will do my very best to accommodate them where possible. However, due to short hospital stays, availability cannot always be guaranteed.
