Fresh 48 Newborn Sessions in Eugene-Springfield, Oregon

Welcoming a new baby into the world is one of the most extraordinary experiences of a lifetime. Those first few hours and days with your newborn can feel like a blur. Between the sleepless nights, the flood of emotions, and the whirlwind of visitors, it’s easy to miss the tiny details and fleeting moments that make this time so special. Fresh 48 sessions are designed to help you pause and preserve these precious memories, capturing your baby just as they are in their earliest days.

Fresh 48 Newborn Sessions: Capturing the Magic of First Moments

What is a Fresh 48 Session?

Fresh 48 sessions are a documentary-style approach to newborn photography. Unlike traditional posed newborn portraits, these sessions are laid-back and focus on storytelling. I capture the authentic moments as they unfold—the first time you hold your baby, the tiny details of their features, and the emotional connections between family members. These sessions are perfect for parents who prefer a more natural style of photography that highlights the real, beautiful chaos of welcoming a new life.

A Client-Centered Experience

The first days after your baby’s arrival are a time of incredible change. Newborns grow and change so quickly during those early weeks, and every moment feels like a milestone. My goal is to create a stress-free experience where you can focus on soaking in those moments while I document them for you. Whether it’s the soft curl of your baby’s hand around your finger or the peaceful way they snuggle into your chest, I’ll ensure these memories are captured beautifully.

I prioritize your comfort and convenience, arriving at your baby’s birthplace—whether that’s McKenzie Willamette in Springfield, Sacred Heart RiverBend in Springfield, a Eugene-area birth center, or your home—to document your story in a familiar and meaningful setting. With my unobtrusive and organic approach, you can relax and enjoy these moments without feeling posed or pressured.

Capturing Their Rapidly Changing Features

Newborns change so much during their first few days and weeks. From their tiny, wrinkled hands to their sleepy yawns and the way they nestle into your arms, these are details that fade all too quickly. Fresh 48 sessions allow you to hold onto these memories forever. They capture your baby’s purest moments and preserve them in a way that transports you back to this incredible time.

Options for Fresh 48 Sessions

Fresh 48 sessions can be added as an enhancement to your regular newborn session, or they can be booked as a standalone experience. If you’re looking to create a complete photographic journey, pairing these sessions is an excellent way to document both the immediate and the more refined moments of your newborn’s first days. Many families love the combination of the documentary nature of Fresh 48 with the timeless, minimal style of my newborn portraits.

Scheduling and Availability

Due to the on-call nature of Fresh 48 sessions, I only take a limited number of bookings each month. It’s best to schedule your session at least a month before your due date to ensure availability. Once booked, I’ll be on-call around your delivery time, ready to arrive shortly after your little one’s arrival to document those precious first hours.

A Safe and Comfortable Experience

Your family’s safety is my top priority. I am fully up-to-date on all vaccinations, and I’m experienced in working in a variety of birth settings, including hospitals, birth centers, and home births. I have photographed sessions at Sacred Heart RiverBend in Springfield and at McKenzie Willamette in Springfield. I am also familiar with Eugene’s birth centers and have experience working with families who choose home births in the Eugene-Springfield area.

Capturing the First Meetings

One of my favorite parts of Fresh 48 sessions is documenting the moment older siblings meet their new baby brother or sister for the first time. We can schedule your session around this milestone to capture the genuine excitement and wonder in their eyes. These moments are filled with pure emotion and make for some of the most touching images.

The Organic Approach

As with all of my photography, I take an organic and natural approach to Fresh 48 sessions. I use minimal props and focus on the real moments and emotions. The love and adoration parents feel for their newborn, the delicate way your baby curls into your arms, and the quiet moments of bonding are all captured to tell the story of your family’s new chapter.

Keepsakes and Add-Ons

A popular add-on for Fresh 48 sessions is a custom photo album. These albums are a beautiful way to preserve your memories and relive the magic of your baby’s first hours again and again. Other options include prints and wall art to create lasting reminders of this special time.

Why I Love Fresh 48 Sessions

Fresh 48 sessions hold a special place in my heart because of the raw emotion involved. There’s something truly magical about documenting the moment you meet your little one for the first time. These images become a cherished piece of your family’s story—a reminder of the overwhelming love and joy that fills those first days.
