Say hello to the
fresh 48 photography guide for moms
I've photographed hundreds of babies (and birthed 4 of my own). I'm spilling all the tips you need to make beautiful, nostalgic hospital portraits of your baby, that you can learn in one hour or less.
Let’s get real for a second, friend
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Do you want those dreamy hospital portraits, but don't want to spend thousands on hiring a professional to come just hours after birth?
Are you extra nervous about adding to the hospital germs and don't want one more person in your room?
WELL, YOU SEE—I GET IT.
This guide was inspired by 2 things: My lovely clients who hire me for newborn sessions 1-2 weeks after birth, but wish they could've gotten the nostalgic hosipital session too (and it simply wasn't in the budget to have 2 sessions so close together),
and my 5lb. baby girl, who was at risk right after birth and really did not need anyone visiting except mom + dad.
So I created a guide for moms to make these portraits themselves - don't worry, I've got you! You can use any camera and I'll hold your hand with lots of visuals and simple but effective tips along the way.
Repeat after me
You are creative.
You are capable.
You can do this.
It starts with the right basics, visual references, and practical tips for making the best use of whatever camera you have.
This isn’t a 6 hour course to get overwhelmed with. This is a 30-page workbook you can complete in 1 hour or less with everything you need to know, and nothing you don't (who has time for the long version as a new mom?!).
Learn the basics in 3 quick modules, photograph your baby, get nostalgic hospital photos to treasure forever.
Are you getting excited yet?

MEET THE CREATOR—carly matthews
There’s no greater feeling than taking amazing pictures of your brand new baby - who you've been waiting months (or years) to meet.
"I thought Carly’s Fresh 48 guide was such a great read giving me more confidence taking pictures in the hospital myself! I always thought the hospital room lightening was horrible, but I have more confidence using the light to my advantage now! I also loved all the pose suggestions!"
