The Grager family invited me to join them at the hospital to photograph their Welcome Baby session, and I couldn’t have been happier to be there. Baby boy was as handsome as ever, and those first quiet moments together were just as sweet as you’d hope.


Every family has their own preferences when it comes to welcoming a new baby, and I believe your photography experience should honor those choices. Some families are excited to share their newborn photographs with the world, while others prefer to keep those memories private. Both are completely okay.


The Grager family has chosen not to share recognizable images of their children online, and I’m always happy to honor that request. Their session can still be documented beautifully and authentically, while respecting the boundaries they’ve chosen for their family.


That’s one of the things I love about Welcome Baby and Fresh 48 photography — there isn’t one right way to do it. Whether you’re dreaming of a full gallery to share with everyone you love or simply want beautiful photographs tucked away for your family to treasure, we can create a session that feels right for you.


Your baby’s first days deserve to be remembered your way.

Welcome Baby Session

$550 includes full gallery

Welcome Baby sessions are all about preserving those first few days with your new baby - when everything is new, a little hazy, and incredibly fleeting.

Welcome Baby sessions are $550 because they include added flexibility around your baby's arrival. Labor and delivery can be unpredictable, even with a scheduled cesarean, so I reserve space around your expected arrival to capture these moments within those first few days.

As always, your full gallery of final images is included in this package.
