Newborn Hillary:Hospital | Springfield Newborn photography

I know at some point I am going to have to limit what types of sessions I shoot, but for now I am loving trying all sorts of different things, and this session, what is often called a "Fresh 48", a newborn session while the baby is still in the hospital and extra squishy, sweet, and new, might be one of my favorite types so far. I am hoping to do many more of these as the years go on- there is something so special and new and raw about a family still in the hospital, just hours after this most significant event. Our hospital stay blew by in a flurry of family and visitors and recovering and I desperately wish we had better documentation of it. It really is so different than taking newborn pictures later in their homes (which I love also) and documents such a special time.
Very dear friends of mine, who's maternity session was recently on the blog here, have had their sweet baby girl 2 weeks early (she was due just 2 days ago!) and I went in to visit them, take some photos, and of course have a little baby cuddle time!
Please enjoy the Fresh 48 images of perfect Hillary Marie.
