FRESH48 PHOTOGRAPHY BRISBANE
Newborn Hospital Sessions - Real, Raw & Full of love
Your baby will never be this new again — soft, sleepy, and freshly welcomed into the world.
A Fresh 48 session is captured in the hospital within the first 48 hours after birth. These sessions focus on the real, raw, and powerful details: tiny fingers, hospital tags, cuddles in the sunlight, and the overwhelming joy of your baby’s first moments.
As a mother of two and experienced Brisbane newborn photographer, I know these early hours pass in a blur — and preserving them is a gift you’ll never regret.
I photograph Fresh 48 sessions at Mater Mothers Brisbane, Greenslopes Private, Gold Coast Private, St Andrew’s Ipswich, and many other hospitals across Southeast Queensland.
I’m also a proud partner of the Mater Mothers Private Bundle of Joy program and Hatch Private Maternity, offering an exclusive discount for families who are part of their care network.

CLIENT LOVE LETTERS
"The photos are absolutely gorgeous, we couldn’t be happier"
Ebony was such a delight to work with for our Fresh48 photography session. It’s been a heartbreaking fertility journey, Ebony understood and embraced our vision for a rainbow, and celebratory photo shoot. She made us feel incredibly comfortable, and thought of beautiful ways to include our 7 year old. The photos are absolutely gorgeous, we couldn’t be happier.

- These are the first moments you'll never want to forget!
-
When should I book my newborn session? What if my baby is already here?I recommend booking your newborn session during your second trimester, as I only take a limited number of sessions each month. This ensures we can reserve space around your due date and plan for those beautiful early weeks. If your baby has already arrived — don’t worry! I regularly photograph babies up to 8 weeks old and will always do my best to fit you in. Just reach out as soon as you can.
-
How long does a newborn session go for?Studio sessions typically run for up to 2 hours, allowing plenty of time for feeding, cuddling, and settling your baby without feeling rushed. Everything moves at your baby’s pace.
-
How long until we receive our gallery?Your fully edited gallery will be delivered within 2-3 weeks of your session.
-
What should we wear?You’ll receive a full prep guide with outfit tips when you book, and you’re also welcome to borrow from my Client Wardrobe, which includes soft, neutral pieces that photograph beautifully and pair well with the studio aesthetic.
-
Do we need to bring anything to our newborn session?Just bring your baby and anything they might need for feeding or soothing. I’ll take care of the rest — wraps, bonnets, layers, and props are all provided and styled in timeless, neutral tones.
-
Can we include family and sibling photos?Absolutely. Parents and siblings are always welcome and encouraged to be part of the session — at no additional cost.
-
We don't feel comfortable in front of the camera - is that ok?That’s completely normal, and I hear it all the time. My approach is very gentle and natural. I’ll guide you in a relaxed way that feels more like connecting with your baby than “posing.”
-
Do you offer payment plans?Yes, absolutely! Just let us know and we can arrange a payment plan that suits. All final payments must be received prior to providing download rights to your images.
-
Is newborn photography safe?Your baby’s safety is always my highest priority. I use baby-led posing techniques, and do not use props or put your baby into un-natural positions. I follow strict hygiene practices, and I’m fully immunised. With years of experience and the instincts of a mum myself, you and your baby are always in safe hands.
