Fresh 48 | In home lifestyle Newborn photo | Salem, Oregon Photographer | www.shelbyblantonphotography.com

I was on a flight home to Oregon from a California vacation last Fall, when I received a text from one of my birth clients that read “Heyyyy, sooo, any chance you have a birth photography slot open in April? :)” *Cue me instantly getting choked up* I scrambled to pull up my calendar to double check dates and was SO excited to see that I would be able to work with them again! We ended up doing a beautiful lifestyle Fresh 48 at their home a while after sweet Griffin was born (due to everything going on in the world right now.) It was such a joy getting to work with them again, and to meet big brother who I photographed coming into the world!

After being their birth photographer, and working with them for this Fresh 48 session, I have gotten to know this family so well, and both of these sessions we had together were SO them- fun, loving, and organic. My heart was bursting while I captured big brother and Dad playing playing around in the living room, while Mama was getting a snack together for them in the kitchen.. I photographed some quiet reading time and snuggles between Mama and Harrison, and then baby Griffin’s first portraits! We even got some super fun shots of everyone cuddled up on Mom and Dad’s bed- complete with a tickle war!

We wrapped up their Fresh 48 session with some family photos outside their home.. (You’ll get a peek of those in the video below!) This gorgeous family also moved out of Oregon after our session together- so I feel like these photos and their Fresh 48 video will be even more meaningful as the years go by.

Don’t forget to watch the highlight of their in home lifestyle session- Griffin’s Fresh 48 video!

Thank you so much Lauren and Josh for letting me capture + share such a momentous time in your lives once again!
