Look at this sweetheart! Photographed her at her place of birth, just barely 2 days old and so darn cute! I absolutely love doing these "fresh 48" sessions. It's more of a documentary style newborn session done at the baby's place of birth, within 48 hours of them being born. It captures all the first little details of their young lives. So special to have and look back on. I was so lucky that this sweetie came to my studio just a week later for some posed newborn photos. Click HERE to see a glimpse into her studio session.

I just love it when I catch a baby smile during these sweet "Fresh 48" sessions! At a couple of these types of sessions, I had actually caught the baby's first smile, which is so special to have documented.
