Capturing Your Baby’s First Hours—Real, Raw, and Beautiful
Fresh 48 sessions capture those raw, emotional first hours of life—tiny yawns, soft swaddles, and the wonder of meeting your baby for the first time. Held at the hospital or birthing center, these sessions focus on genuine, unposed moments.
Documenting Your Baby’s First Day
Fresh 48 sessions are the sweetest newborn sessions. Hospital's don't always provide a photographer anymore to capture those first hours of your baby's life. Michele started offering these beautiful sessions when she started photographing in the NICU over 7 years ago and found that many parents hadn't received the option during their hospital stay. These fresh 48 sessions are perfect add ons if you still want that in-home or studio session. But they are also perfect stand alone sessions because as the years come and go and your baby grows, you'll find yourself sharing the images from the hospital along with their recent picture so let's make sure the images you share are of the highest quality because you won't want to forget this time (and you will because you'll be so tired). These lifestyle sessions are stress free, no need to be primped in order to be in front of the camera. Throw on some mascara and you are good to go. These are casual sessions that you'll want to remember and share years from now.
Michele is a Fresh 48 photographer for the Minneapolis, St. Paul and surrounding area hospitals. Because of the time sensitivity of these session, schedule your Fresh 48 session in advance. These sessions can be added on to a studio or in-home lifestyle session or scheduled on their own. Fresh 48 Sessions are Michele's specialty and her favorite thing to do!

The First Hours Matter
There’s something magical about those first 48 hours—new parents falling in love, siblings meeting their newest family member. I capture the story as it unfolds, creating lasting memories of this life-changing moment.
