Capturing the First Moments You’ll Never Get Back
There is nothing quite like the first few days of your baby’s life. The tiny fingers. The wrinkled toes. That newborn scrunch that fits perfectly in your arms. These early moments pass in a blur of emotion, overwhelming love, (and let’s face it, exhaustion.)
As a Kansas City photographer, my goal with this booking is simple: to preserve those first memories beautifully and intentionally so they can live on for generations.
If you are expecting and searching for a Kansas City Fresh 48 photographer or newborn photographer in Kansas City, Kansas, here is everything you need to know about these two special sessions.
Fresh 48 Photography | Kansas City, KS
A Fresh 48 session takes place in the hospital within the first 48 hours after your baby is born. These sessions are documentary in style and beautifully raw — capturing the very beginning of your family’s new chapter.
Those first snuggles.
The hospital bracelet.
The first time siblings meet their baby.
This package is etremely special because these are moments you will never recreate.
Fresh 48 Session Details:
- $300
- $250 when booked with a newborn session
- 20 edited digital images via download
- Takes place in the hospital within 48 hours of birth
- Option to add video footage for $300
Fresh 48 sessions are perfect for families who want to remember the emotion and authenticity of those first hours — before life settles into routine.
I approach these sessions gently and respectfully, documenting your story as it unfolds naturally.
Newborn Photography | Kansas City, KS
Newborn sessions are best scheduled within the first 21 days after birth. This is when babies are sleepiest, which means we get sweet footage and those snuggly babies are easily posed.
Newborn photography sessions last approximately 1–3 hours. I have them last that long to allow for plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and diaper changes.
Newborn sessions can take place in your home, or in my studio. My studio sessions are calm, warm, and fully styled so you can relax and simply enjoy the experience.
Studio Newborn Sessions Include:
- Fully styled setup
- Props, wraps, hats, and headbands provided
- A customization questionnaire so I understand your preferences
- A relaxed, stress-free environment
If you prefer something more natural and intimate, lifestyle newborn sessions take place in your home using your own surroundings and meaningful spaces. These sessions are less posed and more focused on connection.
As your Kansas City newborn photographer, my job is not just to photograph your baby — it’s to create heirloom artwork for your family.
