Fresh 48

What is a Fresh 48 session? Well if you're expecting, these are some of the my client's favorite photos! Fresh 48 means that we photograph when the baby is "fresh" (within the first 48 hours of birth).  I come to visit you, camera in hand, and take photos of you and your little one as a celebration of bringing life into the world. 

These are not a traditional newborn session where there are lots of poses, props and lights. These are designed to capture your baby's first moments in a natural way! We keep it all very simple and embrace the surroundings of your baby's birth. There are treasured details like hospital bracelets, that we make sure to leave in the photos.   




Location: The session will take place wherever you give birth, whether that is a hospital, home, or birthing center. This is designed for you to feel comfortable and relaxed. 

Outfits: Please wear whatever you feel comfortable in, typically outfits without logos look the best. 

What to Bring: You do not need to bring anything with you to your session. However, you are welcome to bring items if you'd like. Simple is better, a special blanket, outfit or sign. 

Who Can Come?: Anyone is welcome to be there for photos, friends, siblings, grandparents etc. 

How do we Schedule? Contact me if you're expecting and interested! We play things by ear since these events often cannot be planned. I do want you to reach out to me as soon as decided to use Lady Grey Photography, that way we can rearrange schedules if we plan to be booked in full that week.

The J Family

Now this is one good looking family! Rachel has been one of my good friends for quite sometime. When we both lived in Lincoln while we were in school we actually spent one summer sharing a farmers market booth. She is fantastic, a wonderfully artsy individual who I envy for all of her great talents! Her family is just as wonderful! First, I'm always impressed when little boys do well in photo shoots. We had lots of great smiles, and very few bribes from mom to keep them in a good mood :)  I was so excited when they asked me to photograph their family for a Christmas card. We had a wonderful day at the park, I wouldn't even call it work! 

Zavier- 1 year

This weekend was the last of Zavier's photos for his first year! I've been photographing this little guy every couple months since he was in his mommy's tummy....and it has been so fun to watch him grow! The basketball themed photo shoot this weekend was the perfect way to celebrate turning one year old! 

Lens Investment

I regularly have clients that come to me asking what equipment they should invest in to take better photos. Many families now have an SLR camera (single lens reflex...one of those cameras where the lenses are screwed off/on and the mirror inside makes a click sound when you take a photo). One of the best investments you can make after buying an SLR, is a good prime lens. Now, you may not know this, but I shoot with Canon. Typically photographers are either Canon or Nikon...and the equipment is not interchangeable . If you are a Canon user, I suggest you invest in a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens . This lens runs around $120, and is fabulous. It is one the cheapest (if not THE cheapest) Canon lens you can buy. It is fabulous and you'll still find me using it on occasion.  Here are a few examples of photos I've taken with that lens.  It is also the first lens I would suggest that you purchase if you're looking to try to shoot in Manual Mode. It gives yo...
