Fresh 48 – Sarah Shambaugh Photo https://blog.sarahshambaughphoto.com Blog Wed, 08 Nov 2017 02:18:41 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.8.25 Fresh 48 sessions https://blog.sarahshambaughphoto.com/?p=4024 https://blog.sarahshambaughphoto.com/?p=4024#respond Sun, 05 Jun 2016 19:53:06 +0000 http://blog.sarahshambaughphoto.com/?p=4024 What is a fresh 48 you ask?

A fresh 48 session is done within the first 48 hours after your baby is born. Typically done in the hospital room to capture your first few hours/days with your brand new baby. A baby changes so quickly, this is your chance to still capture your first days together without hiring a photographer for the actual birth. Sometimes baby’s bath can be postponed and done during your fresh 48 session as well. Delaying babies first bath is actually becoming highly recommended.  New sisters and brothers can meet baby during this time as well as the rest of your family! This gives  Mom and Dad a chance to rest right after baby is born, and possibly even shower and put on that cute new robe that will look adorable in photos 😉 I am in love with fresh 48 sessions… day light is GORGEOUS. Trust me. I can move and position baby and pose all while everything still happens naturally. This time is such a blur for families, document it.

So here’s the deal, these sessions are priced at 600.00. including all images and video clips. You may add on a slideshow for an additional 150.00. However, I really really want to push for more fresh 48 sessions, SO for now, Fresh 48 sessions will be given at a discounted price of 500.00 including slideshow. That’s a big deal.

Honestly. I am really excited to see what 2016 brings. I had 3-4 births a month for an entire year in 2015. It isn’t easy, I’ll say that. It’s so hard, but so worth it. 2016 will bring changes from what I have learned in 2015 and I am excited to start implementing these changes to have an even more successful year. In 2015 I photographed a surrogacy, a home birth, two out of state births, countless c-sections, a few natural, visited the nicu often, volunteered with NILMDTS, I was chosen to travel to California to photograph foster children go to Disneyland (I’m pretty sure we left a few pieces of our heart in California that weekend), A few sets of twins, another out of state surrogacy, a few maternity sessions, a few gender reveal sessions, first birthdays and 5 days of mini sessions. I had TWO births in ONE day. Twice. I’ve missed a birth… or two. I’ve watched a baby take her last breath. I’ve been scared during a birth, I’ve left a birth shaken to my core. I have literally been invited into the lives of so many families, most with the most happiest days of their lives. While some are the saddest days of their lives. I am still blown away by the fact that I get be so involved with my clients. These photographs will forever hold an irreplaceable value. These will be your most prized possessions. You just never know when you will never have the chance to hold these memories tight. Life is too short. Don’t wait.

Back on track… I hired an assistant, purchased a custom made logo for fresh re-branding of my business and in the works of a small studio space in my home. Complete with a barn wood wall. I would say that blessed is an understatement.

In 2015 I have learned to say NO. It’s hard. I love my people and I hate to turn anyone away. BUT. In order to not burn myself and resent my job, I have finally learned to say no. So, in 2016 please don’t take it personally. I have set a number of sessions per month I will take on, including births. I am planning on taking on two sessions per month free of cost to those in need. I really do love to give my services as a gift to those I love, I wish I could make a living to provide for my family by just giving and helping. Unfortunately we all know that’s just not possible 😉

Personally this year, I have learned that LOVE IS a choice. You choose to love those around you regardless of their imperfections. Life is amazing. And then it’s awful. and then its amazing again. and in between the amazing and the awful, it’s ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That’s just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful ordinary life. And it’s breathtakingly beautiful. -L.R. Knost.

 

 

 

 

Anyway, thank you for 2015! Happy New Year.
