First 48 newborn photos

Capturing the First Sweet Moments of Life

Because These Memories Matter

I get it—those first 48 hours after birth can feel overwhelming, and the last thing you may want is a camera in your face. But here’s the thing: there’s nothing more beautiful than the raw, real moments of meeting your baby for the first time.

You don’t need to “look perfect”—you’re already perfect just the way you are. My job is to capture the love, joy, and connection, not staged perfection.

Genevieve was amazing to work with... she is very talented and also extremely comfortable to have at the hospital. I'm so thankful that she was there to catch such special moments when our little girls met their baby brother! The pictures that Genevieve took are ones that I will always cherish, of one of the best days of my life :)
