Fresh 48 Just Born sessions by Melanie Ellison Photography in Durango
Fresh 48
A Fresh 48 session takes place within 48 hours of your baby's birth before you leave the hospital (also offered for homebirths). This is a good option for those who do not book birth photography but still want to capture the new wonder of their new baby. This is also an opportunity to have a birth announcement created for you while you're still busy with hospital details. That way you can introduce your baby to the world right away with a professional photo of him or her.
The birth announcement is usually delivered to you within 24 hours of the shoot and the rest of the images are edited and ready within 1-2 weeks.
This session can also be scheduled around older siblings' or other family members' first meeting of the baby, to capture that excitement. Includes portrait of baby, details (feet, etc.) mom with baby, dad with baby, and family picture.
A Fresh 48 session is less posed than the newborn photo session--no props or fancy posing of baby, just natural flow.

Book now or email with questions
If you are thinking of having a Fresh 48 session when your baby arrives, it is important to contact me as early as possible in your pregnancy so I can pencil you into my schedule. Immediately after the birth, contact me again during daytime hours to schedule the session within that first day or two.
