Snuggling a newborn is one of life's sweetest joys, and as a newborn videographer and photographer, I get to capture those fleeting moments in a way that lasts a lifetime. In this post, I'll share my top tips for preparing for a newborn session—whether it’s photos or a video, these tips will help you create a meaningful and memorable experience for your family. Let’s make these first moments as special as they are!

Aside from being able to witness siblings meeting one another for the first time, there is so much I love about a Fresh 48 session.

I love the white onesies, hospital socks, blankets and hats. There’s just something that all of us can relate to about that outfit. I takes you right back to those first few moments.

I love the freshly cut umbilical cord. It’s there for such a fleeting moment. Time moves so quickly.

I love mom’s look of pleased exhaustion. A tired joy that is like none other.

This Elkhart, Indiana shoot is one of my favorite in-home newborn sessions to date! I am so thankful for every single one of you that continues to invite me into the most precious moments of life.

I really love a newborn photography session that takes place in the comfort of home. Maybe it’s just me, but getting out of the house with my newborns felt like a daunting herculean effort. Hiring a photographer to come to me and take photos of us in our own environment felt like a no-brainer. This session, and this session are more proof of that.
