Ever heard of a Fresh 48 session before? I had, but never had the opportunity to be a part of one until my maternity client (and good friend) Katie asked me. From the moment she contacted me, I was intrigued. A Fresh 48 is a documentary/lifestyle type session done within the first 48 hours of baby's life. They’re the alternative (or an addition) to birth photography and take place at the hospital, home, or birth center. Katie didn't want her labor and delivery documented but she did want to capture those first few precious moments of new life.
I love this idea so much I'm including these sessions...
This lucky little guy celebrated his second birthday at Green Meadows Farm. I met his lovely (and growing) family before the party started to capture some images of them as they are now (before the arrival of their newest addition). Then the party kicked off with a farm tour where the children got to hold and feed all sorts of animals, milk a cow, and ride a pony. Everyone had a fantastic time - the birthday boy most of all!
Katie and Jon are going to make one beautiful baby boy. These two are just so photogenic, aren't they? I had the pleasure of photographing this expecting couple at Cypress Grove Park before they officially become a family of three. Our original session was rescheduled after several days of rain and when the sun finally made an appearance, it seemed like all of Orlando decided to head out to the park on the same day as our Maternity shoot! But we managed to find some quiet spots and some gorgeous light and we made some really beautiful images. Congratulations you two and thank you for having me document...
