Fresh48 Photography | Atlanta | 2020

As things settle down from the crazy holiday season, and we celebrate our second new year as a collective, we’ve realized that we have some openings for Fresh48s in February and March. So we would like to gift a photobook to each client who books a session in those months!

What is a Fresh48 Session?

This session takes place in your postpartum room during your hospital or birth center stay and is shot in a documentary style just like our birth stories. Capture those sweet, magical moments the first days of getting to know your newborn are full of. Our aim is to capture the story not pose or stage. A great session for sibling introductions, this session lasts about an hour. Within 24 hours you will receive a sneak peek that is perfect for your announcement.

What is a Photo Book?

We offer softcover books from Redtree Albums. Printed on fine Mohawk Superfine Eggshell matte press paper, then bound into a custom photo cover. These books are a gorgeous way to display your photos, that is also safe for little hands. You choose between a single 8.5×8.5 book or a pair of 5.5×5.5 books (a perfect grandparents book!)

Fresh48 Photography | Atlanta | Baby Boy Woodall

Fresh48 hospital newborn sessions are always some of our favorites. There's just something about new families getting to know each other, finger by finger, tiny toe by tiny toe. 

They are a great option for families who want the details of their little ones captured while they are still brand new. Hiring a photographer not only allows you to be in the photos but also gives you peace of mind in knowing all of the details, the ones you so desperately want to remember but can forget so quickly in the post-delivery haze, are captured beautifully.  

Typically we go on call for clients when they are 38 weeks but we are often asked, "What happens if I deliver before then?". Just give us a heads up and we will be there!

Because of the unique way we work as a team of three, if a client goes into labor before we are officially "on-call" we are able to be there, period. You can relax and know that the moment will be captured.

The Woodall family found that out when Mom’s water broke at 35 weeks. Surprise! They had a healthy, beautiful, 4lb 11oz baby boy! We met them in their postpartum room the next day to photograph their newest family member, as well as super excited grandparents.

Congratulations to this sweet family!

Iris | Fresh48 Photography + Videography | Atlanta

Sweet baby Iris arrived on a chilly morning in October to her eager parents and big sister. She was 7 pounds 15 ounces, and super cute! Big sister Scarlett arrived with her grandparents and was a little shy at first, and then wanted to hold her baby sister. Her sibling present was new polaroid film, which I think she probably used all of during our session :-)

The first days after a baby is born are like no other time in a family. There is a shift as everyone transitions into the new roles they now have. Iris’s parents shifted into the parents of two daughters, and their older daughter shifted from an only child to a big sister. Before long this will be their new normal, but there is beauty in the newness of it all. It’s this beauty that an Hours Old, which many call a Fresh48 photography session capture.

An Hours Old (Fresh48) session is a photo or video session in the first hours of your child’s life. It is usually a session before you leave the hospital to go home, but sometimes it is actually a Coming Home session (if you are leaving the Atlanta Birth Canter soon after birth for example). We offer Hours Old (Fresh48) sessions at all of the Atlanta Hospitals, and we offer Coming Home sessions inside or near the perimeter.

Hours Old (Fresh48) sessions can be photo or video sessions. Photo Hours Old (Fresh48) sessions include a slideshow that is perfect for sharing with friends and family, and photo sessions are perfect for albums. We deliver an online album proof that we can tweak until it is perfect for you.

Video Hours Old (Fresh48) sessions include at least 5 edited photos, as well as the finished film set to licensed music. It’s a home movie that you and your family will cherish forever! When we sent this Hours Old
