Your Charlotte NC Fresh 48 Photographer
The anticipation of meeting your little one for the first time is truly magical—what will they look like? What will that first snuggle feel like? How will it feel to watch your partner hold the baby you both created? It’s a whirlwind of emotions, and when that day finally arrives, it’s everything you dreamt of and more. Sure, labor might not be glamorous, but it's YOUR story, unique and unforgettable.
Capturing that raw, beautiful experience of bringing a new life into the world is powerful. (Honestly, I feel so honored every time I get to do a Fresh 48 session!) These moments fly by quicker than you think, and before you know it, the details start to blur. The memory of your baby’s tiny features, their sweet yawns, and that feeling of holding them for the first time... it all becomes a bit hazy. That’s why having these moments documented is priceless.
If you're expecting in the Charlotte, NC area, I’d love to be your Fresh 48 photographer. My job is to capture the magic as it unfolds—part fly on the wall, part gentle guide—helping you focus on your newborn, while I capture every raw, emotional moment.
Will you be tired? Oh, absolutely. Will you feel like you’re at your most photogenic? Probably not. Will you regret having these memories captured? Never. These photos will be some of the most treasured you’ll ever have. They tell the story of a monumental change in your life, and trust me, you’ll be so glad you have them to look back on.
I can personally say I wish I had done Fresh 48 sessions with all my kids, but they weren't really "a thing" with my first couple! Now, I can't recommend them enough.
Nine months of dreaming about your new baby, and just 48 hours to capture those sweet, first moments.

2. 📸 The session
Once your little one decides to make their big debut, just give me a shout, and I’ll head to the hospital with my camera in hand! The session itself takes about an hour, and we usually do it in the morning or afternoon (depending on when your coffee kicks in). I’ll get everything—from the tiny toes and wrinkly noses to some more polished family shots. Don’t worry, we’ll get all those heart-melting moments.

3. 💻 Reveal
The session itself takes about an hour, and we usually do it in the morning or afternoon (depending on when your coffee kicks in). I’ll get everything—from the tiny toes and wrinkly noses to some more polished family shots. Don’t worry, we’ll get all those heart-melting moments.
Everyone’s favorite! About 7-10 days later, we’ll have your big photo reveal. You can either come to the studio to see all the cuteness or, if you prefer to stay in your comfy pants, I’ll set you up with an online gallery within 48 hours.
Once you pick your favorite shots (warning: this will be tough), I’ll get to work editing your beautiful images. Then, I’ll order those heirloom prints and products for you—so you can forever relive the whirlwind of those first days without ever worrying about missing a detail. Easy, fun, and no stress—because really, the last thing you need right now is more stress.
You only meet your baby Once…
What People Are Saying—
Erin is wonderful to work with! She provided a great experience from start to finish and she has outstanding photography skills! My family has some unique needs as I have a daughter with mild disabilities, but she was happy to accommodate us and made us feel so welcome.

My goodness, where do I start?!?! We contacted Erin inquiring about a maternity photoshoot and I am SO GLAD we did! This is our first baby and first time doing these type of photos, so we really didn't know what to expect. I will also add, neither of us are models or have experience modeling and Erin made us feel SO comfortable. She was great with giving us posing directions and was patient with us. She made me feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera, and the photos turned out so beautifully. I already printed some out and framed them for our house, because they are just TOO good to not share. I would highly recommend Erin for any newborn, maternity, family, etc. photos!!! I will be using her in the future for sure!

Erin took our family’s maternity and newborn photos. She is such a pleasure to work with. Her studio is beautiful with quite a selection of women’s dresses and baby clothes/props. The quality of products is also unmatched- we ended up purchasing bound leather books that are stamped on the front and absolutely beautiful.
