Fresh 48 Photography
Fresh 48 Photography
Fresh 48 sessions are all about capturing the very beginning—those first quiet, fleeting hours with your brand new baby. Held in the hospital within 48 hours of birth, these sessions focus on the real, unposed moments: tiny details, first snuggles, and the overwhelming love that fills the room. There’s no pressure for perfection—just your family, exactly as you are, soaking it all in. These are the memories that pass in a blur, preserved honestly so you can hold onto them forever.

Fresh 48 session FAQ
Your payment covers the session itself, and a download of all the full-resolution, edited, digital images. ‘Edited’ refers to global adjustments, such as exposure and color correction. It also includes standard retouching, if needed, to your favorite images (around 10 favorites). Please note that some retouching requests are complex and may be impossible or require an additional fee.
Since your booking reserves a specific date and time, it is non-refundable. However, your payment with me never expires, so you can always reschedule should any issues arise. Please note that if renting a studio, my policy is different from that of the studio.
I primarily work within Milwaukie/SE Portland, an area I know well, and can suggest several places that are particularly photogenic. I am also happy to travel to other locations!
I do not include prints as part of your package, so you are welcome to order prints on your own at any lab of your choosing. I am happy to assist and recommend White House Custom Colour.
Yes! Every session includes a personal print release, which means you’re welcome to print your images for personal use through the lab of your choice. You can make prints, albums, and other keepsakes for yourself and your family.
Please note that the copyright to all images remains with me. Your print release does not allow the images to be sold, entered into contests, used for commercial or business purposes, edited beyond a basic scope for printing, or shared with vendors or publications for promotional use without my permission.
Since your booking reserves a specific date and time, it is non-refundable. However, your payment never expires, so you can always reschedule should any issues arise.
This depends on the season and my work load. In my busiest months, it can take 3+ weeks to deliver a full album. However, I always try to deliver a preview album first. During peak times, I may skip the preview album in an effort to deliver your full album faster. All images are delivered via Google Albums, which are easy to share with family and friends!
Not at all! Parents, siblings and the family pet are welcome to join in the photos.
I do charge a travel fee for locations outside of the greater Portland area. Please contact me for a quote.
Absolutely. Just keep in mind that this will cut into our shooting time, so it’s best to not change more than once.
I dedicate 45 minutes to every Fresh 48 session. This may be extended to one hour in certain circumstances.
A typical session produces around 50-75 final, edited, full-resolution images.
Customer Review
“ We absolutely loved working with Liz Wade for our maternity shoot and newborn photo shoot! Every interaction was filled with warmth, creativity, and genuine care. During our maternity shoot, Liz guided us through various poses and settings, making us feel comfortable and beautiful every step of the way. Her attention to detail resulted in images that truly captured the joy of expecting parenthood. When it came to the newborn shoot, Liz demonstrated a remarkable level of patience and expertise in working with our little one. The way she posed our newborn and captured every tiny detail was magical. From start to finish, working with Liz has been an absolute pleasure. We are beyond grateful for the stunning photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. If you’re looking for a photographer who can capture the beauty and emotion of life’s precious moments, we highly recommend Liz!
Thank you, Liz, for your incredible talent and for giving us memories that we will treasure forever! ”
