How to Prepare for Your Fresh 48 Indianapolis Photography Session
When you welcome a new baby into the world the last thing on your mind is how to plan for your photography session. The good news is that I am here to help you prepare and put your mind at ease, long before your little bundle of joy arrives.
1. Relax, I’ve Got This!
When you schedule a Fresh 48 session with me you can take comfort in knowing that I handle every detail once I arrive at the hospital. Don’t worry about the leftover coffee cup on your tray or tidying up your bags and papers. With your permission, I will move a few things around once I arrive and you can take comfort in knowing that I will ensure we have the best light and back drop for each image.
I also work on a very flexible timeline with Fresh 48 sessions. If doctors need to come and go, I can easily put the photos on pause to ensure you have your privacy. You and your baby’s health is the #1 priority during this time!
2. Stay in Touch
Once you schedule your session I will ask that you keep me posted on your labor and delivery. When your baby arrives, please contact me to let me know and I will confirm the day and time that works best for your Fresh 48. Be sure to save my number or email in your phone after you book your session, and assign Dad the task of getting in touch while you relax with your new addition!
3. Pack Your Bags
As your due date approaches you will spend time checking your hospital bag to ensure you have everything ready to go! inside this bag you’ll have plenty of items for the baby, but you may want to include a pretty robe or your favorite nightgown to wear during your Fresh 48 photos. I still love the simple look of the hospital gown, but depending on your taste you may feel a bit more comfortable and relaxed in your own clothing.
4. Create a plan for siblings
If you are expecting your second, third, or fourth…child, you will undoubtably have a plan for who will supervise the older children as you welcome your youngest into the world. With this consideration, you should also think about your plan for their involvement (if at all) in your Fresh 48 photography session.
Some families like to keep the focus on Mom, Dad and the new baby, while others like to include the entire family and capture the love surrounding their first introductions to the newest little sibling. This may also be a question to ask your hospital, as some have rules and regulations surrounding who is allowed to visit, especially during the winter months with flu season.
Booking a Fresh 48 photography session is something I wish I had done prior to the arrival of my daughter. These are the type of photos that you don’t know you need until it’s too late! I look back on those first few days and can’t believe how quickly the little details have somehow vanished from my memory. Very thankful for photos to remind me of those special moments.
