A Fresh 48 Session at UVa. Hospital | Charlottesville Newborn Photographer

My last session of 2022 turned out to be my first Fresh 48 in about four years (except for doing my own son's hospital photos in February 2021). 

Sweet little Lea was just over 36 hours old when our session took place. She was awake and bright-eyed almost the entire time! Her parents helped her celebrate her very first Hanukkah with some special outfits and her first dreidel. 

Originally, they only wanted photos of Lea (which is completely fine, if you're reading this and considering a Fresh 48), but they made it into the frame toward the end, which I was so happy about. I know Lea will absolutely treasure those photos one day.

Amy and Jonathan, thank you so much for inviting and trusting me to document the start of the best, most beautiful chapter of your lives. Lea is so lucky to have you as her parents!
