In-hospital fresh 48 sessions hold a special place in my heart. Everyone is so high on the thrill of new life, and it’s not every day your family grows by one! New roles for everyone, new dynamics – it’s all so beautiful to witness. This little family added the sweetest little chunk of a brother, and everyone was taking their promotions very well.

A lot of people are worried about fresh 48 sessions. Moms worry they will look awful or not feel up to it. And maybe you won’t be feeling up to it, but trust me when I say that the newborn glow is a real thing and every new mom is shining with love and pride. And these moments are FLEETING. I do not remember anything from that first day in the hospital after delivering Archer, but I am so thankful for the fresh 48 session we did to capture it. Hospital lighting can be harsh and unflattering, but we always make the best of the situation. And no matter how small your delivery or recovery room is, there are endless options for every shot. If you’re worried about what to wear or what to bring to prepare, just ask! I am so happy to help you plan any session.

Now, without any further ado, I would like to introduce you to Dawson and his beautiful family who invited me to do their Sarnia fresh 48 session.

If you are expecting a new addition to your family are are interested in a Chatham-Kent or Sarnia Fresh 48 session, email me at brittanyelizabethphoto@gmail.com or contact me here today! I only take a few of these sessions each month due to their unpredictable nature, so get in touch early!

Bringing your first baby home is an experience like nothing else. You’ve spent months preparing, decorating and reading all the parenting books you can get your hands on, but nothing can prepare you for your new life. It is exhausting, confusing and much harder than you imaged. But it comes with the truest form of fulfillment. There is no greater joy than becoming a parent.

Hillary and Ryan asked me to come to their home and document their new family of three and it was fun, relaxing and easy – everything a newborn session should be. There was no worry of forgetting anything, no need to find a spot to nurse discretely, no interruptions. Just quiet, and comfortable family time at home. Sounds lovely, right?

If you are pregnant and are looking for a Chatham-Kent newborn photographer, I would love to document your perfect little addition in the comfort of your own home. You can contact me below for available dates!

Jen & Phil’s beautiful rustic farm wedding was by far one of the best experiences of my photography career, and if I’m being honest it was a turning point for my confidence as an artist. I left that night knowing (not hoping) I had captured so much genuine beauty and emotion. I will forever be grateful for them trusting me with they wedding day. When they asked me to do a Fresh 48 newborn photography session for their new baby I was so excited! Building relationships with my clients is the best part of this job, and being able to witness some of the best days of their lives is priceless!

On Gryffin’s first birthday we were winding down and cleaning up after the party guests when Jen texted me saying their baby boy had been born that afternoon, and that they had yet to give him a name. We happily made plans for me to come to the hospital in the morning for the fresh 48 session before they were discharged. I joked that night with Eric that maybe they would name him Gryffin since they shared a birthday.

I arrived the next morning, we started the session and Phil & Jen were still discussing a few names when I mentioned that he shared a birthday with our Gryff, and hilariously, Jen said that Griffin was her #1 choice and she was just trying to get Phil on board! I had to laugh. Phil wanted to know what sorts of nick names we had for Gryff to make sure it was a good fit for them. I didn’t mention it any more because I didn’t want to put any extra pressure on anyone or give too many opinions, but I was so excited later that day when Jen texted me saying they had settled on Griffin for him. I’m pretty sure it was the nickname “Baby G” that pushed Phil over the edge! Ha ha!

Thank you Jen & Phil for trusting  me with 2 of your most memorable days. You two share so much love, and your Griffin is one lucky guy.
