On December 8th 2015 I was 13 weeks pregnant with my second child and had my first ultrasound appointment. The doctor came in and started the ultrasound. Eventually he told me that he was having a hard time finding a heartbeat but wanted to do a vaginal ultrasound in case I wasn’t as far along as we thought I was. After awhile he stopped the ultrasound, handed me the pictures he had printed out and told me that my baby didn’t have a heartbeat and was only measuring at 9 weeks. I had a D&C done the next morning. In April 2018 my current husband and I had been trying to conceive for 11 months with no luck and had an appointment with a IVF clinic in May. Three ...

A few months ago, I was asked to donate to a benefit supporting a local woman who passed from depression. I donated a newborn session with a small collection of images, and when this mom reached out to tell me she was the winner, I had no idea what her nursery looked like. They decided not to find out the gender, but they wanted something special for their walls. It was so fun to connect with them and create some special memories for their newest addition, DeLaney. When I asked her about the nursery, she said it was navy blues and kind of a moon and stars theme. I stopped right there and squealed with excitement, already knowing what I wanted to create for them. I have a passion ...
My Husband and I have been trying to have a baby for 6 years. We tried numerous rounds of pharmaceuticals with timed intercourse, then with IUI. Sometimes this resulted in nothing and other times a miscarriage. I had a loss of twins that resulted in having to have an emergency ectopic surgery almost losing one of my fallopian tubes. This was the worst one. It was November and I remember it was a Wednesday. My husband was working out of town. I had woken up with the craziest dream about having twin girls. We had named them Bella and Kara. Not names I would have normally picked but hey, dreams are weird sometimes. I had my iui days earlier and wasn’t supposed to take a pregnancy ...
Document Your Birth Story So many of us are busy with our new baby, we forget to document their births. Birth photography/videography can be a large cost for many families so opting for a Fresh 48 session and writing up your birth story is a wonderful way to document it for you and your family to cherish for years. Just imagine your little girl, preparing for her own birth experience and reading your story. I can't imagine a better way to bond over the experience together. I wanted to write this blog to help mothers document their birth stories, professional imagery or not. My first tip to you is this – just get your phone and record yourself talking about your birth.
