First Hours Sessions

Documenting the emotional first moments of your child's life

If you do not wish to have your labor & delivery photographed, but are still looking to have documentation of those special first hours spent with your new baby, the First Hours Session is truly priceless. While you focus on bonding and falling in love with your newest addition (and recovering from the monumental experience of giving birth!), I will provide unobtrusive documentary-style coverage mixed with lightly posed photographs that you will cherish now and even more in the years ahead when you’re feeling nostalgic over how fast the years have flown by. These sessions are also great for documenting the first introduction of older siblings or grandparents to the newest family member! Ensure that you have quality photos – and not just cell phone photos – from what will be one of the most special days in your new child’s life here on Earth by booking a First Hours Session!

 

 
Having these photos means the world to me. I hold such gratitude and love in my heart that these moments were captured.
