Baby S | Fresh 48 Hospital Newborn Session | Salmon Creek

I always get so excited when I get Fresh 48 inquiries for hospitals that I have never had the pleasure of capturing these special moments at. The light, room configuration, atmosphere, and decor vary so much between hospitals! It’s always such a fun challenge to figure it all out! Not only was I excited about having a newborn baby session at Salmon Creek Legacy hospital, I was also excited to capture this specific family. We connected so well on the phone and I especially loved that they had an older daughter as it reminded me of my sister and I. I can still remember the day my sister was born and how I instantly felt this overwhelming bond with her. It was no surprise to me that their sweet older daughter and newborn baby girl shared the same immediate connection. This was nothing short a dream session with the most wonderful family <3

Baby S | Hospital NICU Fresh 48 Newborn Session | Portland Oregon

Every birth story is different, even within the same family. And while they all may be different, they are also full of beautiful moments. Sweet baby S arrived 3 weeks early and had to spend 10 days in the NICU at St. Vincents hospital in Portland Oregon. Thankfully, the stay was short and there were not any major complications! Her sweet “big” brother even helped decorate her room with his beautiful artwork <3

Here are a few of my favorite portraits from their Fresh 48 session.

Baby I | Fresh 48 Hospital Newborn Session | St. Vincents | Portland Oregon

They say when it rains, it pours…well in my case it was pouring babies over the fourth of July weekend!! I have been so excited to meet this little girl since her parents contacted me letting me know they were expecting again! Her big brother’s fresh 48 was one of my all time favorites, and I was eager to provide them with an equally beautiful gallery this time around as well. This sweet girl made it too easy, with those chubby cheeks, long lashes, and a gorgeous head of dark hair <3 Those moments in the hospital right after baby arrives are simply the best, filled with raw love and emotion.

Baby E | Fresh 48 Hospital Newborn Session | Clackamas, Oregon

There is absolutely nothing better than capturing the newness of a little one that is only hours old. Their instant connection with their family and those tiny features that seem to change almost by the minute are beautiful memories that are meant to be cherished. This darling little girl was born on the most quintessential fall days in Oregon; one of those foggy and rainy days that make you want to curl up inside by a fire and read a good book. It was a long labor, but she arrived perfect, like a gorgeous baby doll with a beautiful head of hair.
