Scottsdale Fresh 48 Photographer | LeReu

in case you don’t already know this – I really, really, love fresh 48 sessions. and I think everyone should add them on to their newborn sessions – because you can never, ever, get those moments back.

your baby will never be less than 48 hours old, ever again. they’ll never be swaddled in one of those classic pink and blue striped blankets. they’ll never sleep in a creeky, wooden, hospital bassinet either.

trust me, in ten years, or five years, or even a month from then – you’re going to *love* those first pictures of your baby. those brand new piggy’s with the hospital bracelets. those crop top kimono style hospital shirts.

you’re going to miss it all, mark my words – I know this because I have super limited pictures of my first two when they were in the hospital, and it stinks. but, I made up for it when I had my last baby – I overcompensated on his, lol.

If you’re searching for a photographer within the Phoenix area, please contact me to schedule your session today. All newborn sessions take place at my in-home studio located in North Phoenix. I have a variety of props, all of which are available to use in your session.

this birth story is one for the books; "My due da this birth story is one for the books;

"My due date was January 16, and while I knew it was unlikely baby would show up on this arbitrary “due date”, I still felt discouraged to wake up still pregnant. We went through our day visiting Holly’s growing farm, and I felt off and strange all day. I took a small nap at her house, and when driving home, kept complaining that I felt uncomfortable and was having lower back pain. I took a nap when we got home for about 4 hours to try and find some relief.
I woke up around 9 pm and decided to try a shorter version of the Miles Circuit to try and engage baby. Nick and I enjoyed some time together and by around 11:45, I started questioning some of the feelings in my lower abdomen. The sensations were developing a pattern at about 7-15 minutes apart, but were very mild and felt no different than a typical period cramp. I let Nick know around midnight that I was possibly feeling contractions and advised him to get off the Xbox and head to bed soon (which he, of course, didn’t do.) I texted my midwife to give her a heads up and even though I was filled with anticipation on whether this was the start of my birth, she advised me to get some rest. Just before 4 am, I could no longer sleep through the waves. They were about 4 minutes apart and were still manageable, but within the next hour and a half, had grown to about 2 minutes apart and were lasting about 45-60 seconds. Around 5:30, I called my mom to ask if she could come over and lay down with Harper because I was feeling like I needed Nick’s support soon. At around 6, my mom showed up, and I soon woke up Nick to say that I thought today was the day. I felt like I wanted some fresh air, so I put on a jacket and asked him to go for a walk with me. He was a little panicked at my request and was insisting that we call the midwife and blow up the birth tub, but I was still convinced that this was early labor. When he decided to time the contractions, he told me that they were much closer together than the last time I contacted my midwife, so he called her to give her the update. Our midwife, Brea, agreed that it sounded like a significant change and started to.. (go to comments)

something you'll barely ever see on my feed is lif something you'll barely ever see on my feed is lifestyle stuff; I never ever shoot it, just because it's not my style. but this momma was a birth client of mine a couple years ago, and I was supposed to be there for this sweet girls birth too. but ya know, covid. so we did a lifestyle fresh 48 when they got home from the hospital, and they're just the cutest little family. I'm so happy I could document those first few moments as a family of five <3
