fresh48 photography for Akron, Ohio

Time is a thief, let’s steal a moment back.

Photography is the closest we’ve come to time travel. It allows us to relive our memories in every beautiful detail. Imagine yourself 7-10 years from now sitting in your living room, flipping through your family’s photo album, smiling and getting teary eyed while reminiscing on all the beautiful memories made with your kids- the excitement waiting on their arrival, those snugly newborn days, their pudgy little hands, never ending energy and unbounding curiosity about the world. 
Those memories are priceless.

A Fresh48 newborn session captures that brand new baby before you head home from your Akron Area Hospital, done in the comfort of your room capture all those tiny little details while babe is still brand new and never forget how impossibly long their fingers and toes were, how they came out with this layer of full body hair and just how kissable those squishy little cheeks are. Looking at these photos years from now is sure to make you smell that phantom new baby smell and might even make your ovaries ache, you were warned. (;

i’m a photographer, rainbow mama + wife

authentic storytelling is my jam and doing so in a way that’s love focused and makes it easy for you is my mission!

Capturing the love you have for your newest little love and your family that is growing and changing every day, being able to do so in a way that captures each members unique personality is my favorite part of being a lifestyle photographer. I love getting to capture every moment from brand new baby with the tiniest toes to littles that grow and change all too quickly, before you know it you’re looking at the new version of your child and all you have from who they were before is memories and photographs. let’s make sure we capture every little detail you never want to forget.

Brittney has captured our family, gender reveal, maternity newborn and I just scheduled our homestyle holiday -I love photos we get and how fun our session is!  and I love that we have real smiles and us in our everyday activities even more! Brittney was ready to lead races, spin ribbons and blow bubbles! I’ve never seen a photographer PLAY with our kids and encourage real laughter; by the end of our session our shy girls were giving her hugs and asking if she was going to come to our house to play with dolls with them.

Brittney was so amazing with my 2 year old daughter. She’s typically super shy and doesn’t say much around people she doesn’t know and she got her out of her shell! The images turned out STUNNING! I highly recommend Brittney for all your family photography needs!
