Fresh 48 Photographer
Skagit Valley, Washington
An intimate Fresh 48 session takes place within the first two days of your baby’s arrival, at the birth location of your choice—whether that’s a hospital, birth center, or home. With a documentary-style approach, I focus on capturing the first raw, beautiful moments of you and your baby with minimal intervention.
This session is gentle, quick, and incredibly meaningful, preserving moments that can never be replicated. I put special emphasis on the mother-baby bond because, let’s be honest, those first days after birth are often a blur. As time passes, it becomes harder to relive those fleeting moments, but with these photographs, you’ll always have something to look back on—reminders of the love, connection, and overwhelming joy of meeting your baby for the first time.

You will be granted an access to a professional print lab where you have an option to order prints.
What do I need to know before my Fresh 48 session?
It’s completely normal not to know exactly when your baby will arrive! That’s why I keep my mornings flexible as your due date approaches, ensuring I can be there to capture those first precious moments.
A few things to keep in mind:
Morning sessions offer the best natural light, so I typically schedule Fresh 48 sessions earlier in the day.
Hospital policies vary, and I always confirm whether I’m allowed to visit and take photos. It’s also a good idea to double-check with your nurses when we plan the session time.
Hospital lighting isn’t the best, so we’ll turn off artificial lights and use the natural light from your window for the most beautiful, soft images.
Personal touches make your session unique! Feel free to include a letter board, name sign, special swaddle, or hat for your baby.
These first hours with your little one will pass in a blur, but your Fresh 48 photos will let you relive them forever.
“Eva is a WONDERFUL photographer! She captured our baby’s first day of life perfectly. My toddler also loved working with her (which is no small feat). I would definitely, definitely recommend her services.” Laney
