A photo speaks louder than a thousand words.
The birth of a child is a deeply personal and intimate experience—and rightfully so! But as time passes and the memories of challenges fade into the background, many long to relive those unique, heartfelt emotions that came with welcoming a new life. And what better way to bring those memories back to life than through photography?
Today, it is no longer uncommon for loved ones—husbands, mothers, or sisters—to be present during childbirth. Of course, you could ask them to take a few pictures, but in those moments, you will likely crave their support more than a photo. Completely immersed in the experience, they may not think about how to capture the moment from the best angle.
This is where a professional photographer becomes invaluable. They understand all the nuances of capturing such profound moments—the birth itself, the first hours, and the early days of a new family member’s life. These photographs will become a true family treasure!
What does it mean for me to photograph my labor?
Imagine having the chance to step into the moment of your own birth: your mother, lost in herself, surrendering to the rhythm of each contraction—how magical she is in this moment. Your father, nervously rubbing the edge of his clothes as he waits with bated breath. And your guardian angels—the doctor and midwife—pouring all their energy into guiding you safely into this world.
And then, the moment of your arrival! Your mother and father together, wrapped in love. The tears of pure joy. The radiant smiles of those who helped bring you here. You see how the world rejoiced at your birth, how deeply you were loved—just for existing. What do you feel now?
This is why I am so grateful. My little girl will always have the gift of returning to this moment, thanks to the images captured by our own guardian angel, Natalia

BIRTH STORY
The story of birth is a photography format that is steadily gaining popularity.
It’s incredible how light, joyful, and at the same time profoundly solemn birth photography can be! Such a photo session captures the most vivid and genuine emotions. You’ll be amazed at how radiant and tender mothers look in these moments, and how touching and deeply emotional fathers appear.
This photo album will hold a special place in your family. It will preserve the most treasured memories. Previous generations never had the chance to see themselves just moments after entering the world—but now, this has become possible for our children!
Fresh 48
Fresh 48 – The Essence of Naturalness and Harmony
Soft daylight, gentle contours, and the pure reflection of love in your eyes—this is what Fresh 48 photography is all about. Your first 48 hours as mom and dad… may they mark the beginning of an incredible journey of family happiness.
If I could turn back time, I would return to those first 48 hours with my daughter.
I would once again take in her delicate, almost ethereal features, savoring with every fiber of my being the warmth of newfound motherhood...
How bittersweet it is that time cannot be rewound. Our little ones grow far too quickly, leaving us longing to hold on to those fleeting moments of infancy. But within the first intimate 48 hours, we are given a gift—memories we can cherish forever, both in our hearts and in photographs.
A Fresh 48 session is a special photoshoot capturing the first 24-48 hours of your baby’s life.
It can take place in the hospital room or at home, in the quiet comfort of your space.
These are not posed newborn portraits. Instead, I capture the raw, inexpressible moments of your baby’s first interactions with the world—their connection with mom (and dad), the gentle hands of caring doctors, and the tiny details that can only be preserved in a mother’s heart.
And in photographs.
