Birth Photography at North Fulton Hospital
Birth Photography & Videography at North Fulton Hospital
We offer Fresh 48 newborn sessions, either photo or video, or both, at North Fulton Hospital, just north of Atlanta.
Fresh 48 sessions take place during your baby's first 24–48 hours of life before you leave the hospital. These sessions focus on all the tiny details you'll never get back—the wrinkled fingers, hospital bassinet, first family snuggles, sibling introductions, and the feeling of those first hours together.
What Birth Photography Looks Like at North Fulton Hospital
When active labor begins, you'll contact us just as you would your birth team. Once it's time, we'll head to the hospital and remain with you throughout labor, delivery, and the first hours after birth.
Birth coverage typically includes:
Labor support and connection with your partner and birth team
Details of the birth environment you've created
The anticipation and emotions leading up to birth
Your baby's arrival
First skin-to-skin moments
First feeding
Measurements and newborn assessments when appropriate
Sibling and grandparent introductions, if present
The quiet hours when you begin settling in as a family
Because every birth unfolds differently, we don't work from a shot list. Instead, we document the moments that matter most to your family as they happen.
Lighting Tips for Beautiful Birth Photos and Video at North Fulton
One of the questions we hear most often is:
"Should I bring lights?"
The answer is yes—but not all lights are created equal.
We never use flash during labor or birth.
Flash can be distracting, disruptive, and often changes the atmosphere families have intentionally created in the room. Instead, we photograph and film entirely using the ambient light available in the space.
If you'd like a warmer, more intimate environment, we often recommend bringing a small strand of incandescent twinkle lights. These create a beautiful glow that photographs naturally and looks wonderful on video.
We generally do not recommend LED string lights. While they may appear steady to the eye, many LEDs create a subtle flicker that can show up in photographs and video footage, resulting in distracting flashing or banding.
A few simple lighting tips:
Bring warm incandescent twinkle lights if you'd like extra ambiance.
Consider battery-operated options that can be easily moved around the room.
Avoid color-changing lights.
Skip LED fairy lights whenever possible.
Don't worry if your room feels dim. We are experienced in working with low-light environments and preserving the mood of the space.
Some of the most meaningful birth images we've ever created have been made in the soft glow of a dark Piedmont hospital room at 3 a.m.
