Edmonton Fresh 48 Photography – Capture Birth-Style Moments Without a Birth Photographer

Did you know you can get those beautiful, emotional “birth photography style” images—without actually having a birth photographer present for the birth itself?

It’s true! While it’s not exactly the same as having your entire labour and delivery documented, it comes pretty close.

Over the years, I’ve noticed that many of my clients want to capture those raw, intimate first moments with their newborn, but they don’t necessarily want a photographer in the room during the birth. That’s where Fresh 48 sessions come in.

What Is a Fresh 48 Session?

As an Edmonton newborn photographer, I offer Fresh 48 photography sessions that take place within the first 48 hours of your baby’s life—typically at the hospital or birth center (or even at home if that’s where you deliver).

These sessions focus on documenting all the tiny, fleeting details you’ll want to remember forever:

• Those teeny hands and feet
• The first yawns, stretches, and sleepy smiles
• The emotional first moments as siblings and family meet your new baby
• Your baby swaddled up, fresh from birth, in their very first days earthside

It’s a beautiful way to tell your baby’s story without the intensity of full birth photography.

How Much Does a Fresh 48 Session Cost?

Fresh 48 sessions can be booked on their own starting at just $450 or added to any maternity or newborn booking for only $150.

And because I know you’ll be eager to share your new arrival with family and friends, I’ll deliver the best 8-12 images from your Fresh 48 session the same day—so you’ll have professionally captured moments ready to share when you announce your baby’s arrival.

Why Choose a Fresh 48 Session?

If you love the idea of having those “just born” images but prefer privacy during labour and delivery, this is the perfect solution. It’s also ideal for parents who want a more relaxed, documentary-style session—no posing, no studio lights, just real, authentic memories from your baby’s first hours.

As an Edmonton newborn photographer with over 11 years of experience, I know how to create a stress-free, comfortable environment for new families while capturing these once-in-a-lifetime memories.
