New Jersey Newborn Photographer – Fresh 48 Session

On the day our newborn son Sean and I were discharged from the hospital, I snapped a few photos using my professional camera. All during my hospital stay I took tons of photos with my cell phone. As a brand new mother, juggling my own recovery, a new baby, nursing, constant medical monitoring, it was hard enough to take cell phone photos let alone getting out the real camera! I was disappointed that I was only able to get “real” pictures during the last hour I was in the hospital. And since I was the one who took the photos, I only have a couple of pictures of me with Sean (taken by my patient husband), and none of my husband at all!  I am sad I did not have a photographer come into the hospital and take more photos for me!

So I would like to help others capture these special moments! I am now offering Fresh 48 newborn sessions, where I come to your hospital room within 48 hours of your baby’s birth to capture those first precious moments with your newborn and family. You can see some examples below of my own little boy! The last two images are cell phone pictures I took to show you the difference hiring a professional photographer can make!

And one day when my schedule is a bit more predictable, I will launch a new offering – birth photography! I also regret that I did not have a photographer come and take photos during labor and delivery. At the time, I thought I would not want another person in the room, and I figured I would take some photos myself. In fact my husband did take a few when we first checked in and my OB took a few of the three of us after our son was born. But I am still missing the moments in between because we were both too busy (and nervous) to think about taking photos. And as the days go on, I am slowly forgetting the details of one of the best days of my life! So hopefully I will be able to offer this service to clients as well!  Stay tuned…
