Some of my favorite family moments happen within the first hours of a newborn’s life. I know, I know…you just gave birth and having a photographer come to your room is probably not the first thing on your list of priorities but here’s why I love them – you get to sit back, snuggle your baby, and let someone else be responsible for capturing the cuteness of the new life you just brought into the world. You earned it, mama. I will come to the hospital within 48 hours of your little one arriving at a time that is convenient for you. Sneak peeks are provided within 1-2 days, allowing you to announce your new little one without ever having to take out a phone for photos. Plus, if you have other kids, you can just soak in the moment they get to meet for the first time knowing I will do what it takes to capture the first reactions. Need more reasons? Check out the Cooper’s Fresh 48 session at Mary Washington Hospital here in Fredericksburg. So many sweet moments. My favorite was when Hudson was able to hold his new baby brother, Rhett. Just looking at his face, you can tell he already takes his big brother duties seriously. I can barely handle the cuteness. Whether your family is just beginning or it’s growing, it is an honor to help capture these moments so you can hold onto them forever.
