MODEL CALL | Fresh 48 Session
This is something I've been dreaming of adding to my portfolio for quite some time.
If you've followed my photography journey, you know how much I love capturing genuine, meaningful moments. One area I'm especially passionate about is Fresh 48 photography, the raw, emotional first hours after welcoming your baby into the world.
Unfortunately, every opportunity I've had to photograph a Fresh 48 session has fallen through due to illness, weather, scheduling conflicts, or other unforeseen circumstances. Rather than continuing to wait and hope the timing works out, I'd love to officially line up a Fresh 48 model call.
I'm looking for an expecting mama who is due in the near future and would be interested in receiving a complimentary Fresh 48 session in exchange for allowing me to use the images in my portfolio and for marketing purposes.
Fresh 48 sessions take place within the first 24-48 hours after birth and focus on documenting those beautiful first moments, tiny details, first snuggles, new sibling introductions, and the overwhelming joy of meeting your baby.
If you or someone you know is expecting, please tag them below or share this post. I'd be so grateful for the opportunity to continue growing in an area of photography that means so much to me.

These two are certainly no stranger to my lens! I love any opportunity to help Lucy with any of her photography needs. I’m obsessed with how this set up all come together. Comment or message me if you’d be interested in this set up! I am thinking about offering it again soon.

I’m planning on adding this dress to my client closet! I would love to have someone model this dress for me so I can decide if it’s a good fit for maternity or just in general! I am looking for an expecting momma to model this dress for me. The size is XL and it is a tighter fitting styled dress. Let me know if you’re interested or know someone who would be💞
