welcome to the world, baby Madison


There are sessions that stick with you forever—and this Fresh 48 session at South Miami Hospital was definitely one of them. Not just because of the beautiful light or the perfect little family, but because this mama has been in front of my camera for years now. I’ve photographed her before she was even married (shoutout to her stunning boudoir session!), and being there to capture her becoming a mother was a full-circle moment that filled my heart in the best way.

South Miami Hospital holds a special place in my story too—both of my babies were born here, and walking those halls again always brings back a wave of memories. It’s a place that feels warm and familiar, and it was the perfect backdrop for this intimate Fresh 48 session.

Baby snuggles, soft cries, and the sweet in-between moments that only happen in those first couple of days—it’s why I love Fresh 48 sessions so much. They’re raw and real, and filled with so much love. I even got to help mama with her latch and showed her how to feed in football position (this is what I always recommend for those first couple of weeks, especially after having a c-section) and gave dad a crash course in swaddling (which he totally nailed!). Being a mom myself has truly deepened the way I show up for my clients—I’ve been there, I am there, and I understand just how big and beautiful (and sometimes overwhelming) those first days can be.

Watching these two step into their new roles as parents was the sweetest thing, and I’m just so honored to have been a part of it. Their love for this baby was overflowing—and capturing that kind of love is what this job is all about.

If you’re considering a Fresh 48 session, I’d be so honored to be there for you, too.

These are the moments you’ll never get back—but you can keep them forever.
