Southern Maryland Fresh 48 Sessions

The hushed excitement pulsing through the recovery room. Three (yes, THREE!) big sisters, eagerly waiting to meet the newest baby girl. The sweet swell of mama’s freshly postpartum belly, cradling a newborn that’s been earthside for just a few hours.

Fresh 48 sessions are magical. Documentary and unposed, taking place in the hospital within 48 hours of baby’s birth, Fresh 48 sessions are a natural complement to a styled maternity or posed newborn portrait session.

The Berry family just welcomed their fourth baby girl! Dad beamed with pride – owning his title as a confirmed girl dad – and the girls took turns meeting baby Stevie.

My favorite aspect of Fresh 48 sessions are the quiet, candid moments I’m able to capture. The hours and days right after birth soon become hazy in mama’s memory, and it is truly an honor to be able to immortalize them beautifully.

Thank you for trusting me to capture these, Berry family! See you again for baby girl #5? HA! 😉
