Hoag Hospital Newborn Photographer – Fresh 48

Hoag Hospital Newborn Photographer – Fresh 48

Gilmore Studios has been a Hoag Hospital Newborn photographer for years now! The Fresh 48 newborn session is one of our favorites. After baby arrives, we capture moments with the family during the first 2 days of life. It’s a nice alternative to the live birth session- for those who don’t a photographer in the room during delivery! Live birth sessions are amazing, but timing can be tricky. Sometimes labor can go on forever, so it’s difficult for us to show up at the perfect time. The Fresh 48 makes photos much easier on mom, too. Mothers can get their much needed rest and bonding time with baby before we bother her with photos. It’s also a great way to document brothers and sisters meeting baby as well.

Hoag Hospital Baby Photography Session

Hoag Hospital is home for the Gilmores’. We have had all three of our children there and Jennifer volunteers for a charity organization there as well. When scheduling your Fresh 48 session, simply give us your due date and pay your session fee of $350. The studio will keep in touch with your progress to make sure Jennifer will be able to meet you and your family at the hospital. Many of our moms add a studio newborn session, bringing the total to $450 for both sessions ($100 savings).

Documenting every baby milestone!

Everyone will tell you, enjoy these moments- they go by very quickly! This family took this advice and we love how they continue to document everything! Check out their maternity session!

For twin cake smashes, I create one cohesive set that works beautifully for both. We start with family and sibling photos, then photograph the twins together before it is time for cake. Outfit changes are a great way to add variety without switching sets. This way, parents get a gallery that feels polished and cohesive while still showing each child’s personality.

🌈 The Rainbow Luncheon is one of our favorite NCL events to photograph — a celebration of every hour, every project, every moment these senior girls gave back to their community from 7th–12th grade.

It’s more than a luncheon, it’s a legacy.

At two years old, most kids have endless energy, and that’s completely normal. The key is to work with it, not against it. For this Sesame Street birthday session, we kept the backdrop fun and colorful, encouraged play, and let her personality shine. The result? A gallery that feels authentic, joyful, and true to this stage of life.

Pro Tip for Parents:
Choose a theme your child loves. Their excitement helps keep them engaged and gives you photos that capture their personality at this exact age.

Every newborn session is special, but this one was extra sweet. After three boys, this family welcomed their baby girl!

If you’re booking a newborn session with older siblings, here are a few things to know:
1. Sibling shots are always included. We’ll capture big brothers or sisters meeting their new role.
2. I balance family, sibling, and solo newborn portraits so you get a full story of this season.
3. Don’t worry about energy or chaos. After photographing families for over 20+ years, I’ve seen it all. The goal is connection, not perfection.

Your gallery will reflect your family just as you are … now with a brand new little one to love.”

💗 Save this if you’re planning newborn photos with siblings.

💎 “How do I choose the perfect outfit for a cake smash?”

One of the best ways to elevate your baby’s session is to coordinate their outfit with the set. For this Tiffany & Co. theme, mom went classic…a black dress, pearl necklace, and even tiny sunglasses! It made the whole setup feel polished and timeless while still playful.

Think of colors, accessories, or even a favorite brand that inspires you. The outfit doesn’t just photograph beautifully, it tells the story of this stage in your child’s life.
