Delaware First Year Photographer | Fresh 48, Newborn & Milestones

Are you searching for a First Year baby photographer in Delaware? Someone who offers Fresh 48 hospital sessions, posed newborn photos, and milestone photography at 6 months and 1 year?

I’m Maria DeForrest, a Delaware and Eastern Shore photographer with nearly two decades of experience photographing families through it all, from the hospital bassinet to beach cake smashes.

Where do you photograph Fresh 48 sessions?

I photograph Fresh 48 sessions at all the major Delaware birth locations:

• Bayhealth Kent Campus in Dover

• Beebe Healthcare in Lewes

• Christiana Hospital in the Newark/Wilmington area

• The Birth Center Holistic Women’s Health Care in Newark

• Plus home births across the Eastern Shore

What’s included in the First Year Series?

• Maternity – celebrate your growing family

• Fresh 48 – hospital or home, in the first 48 hours

• Newborn session – posed portraits at home

• 6-month session – gummy grins & chubby leg

• First birthday – cake smash or simple family session

• Bonus milestones – crawling, first steps, first tooth

I’ve had four babies myself, two born in hospitals and two at home, including one very unplanned but beautiful home birth. I know how emotional and unpredictable this season can be and I’m here to support your story, wherever it unfolds.

Your baby will change so much in their first year, let’s make sure you can remember it all.

From sleepy newborn snuggles to first smiles, wobbly sits, and chubby little fingers reaching out to explore the world, these moments pass quickly. A first-year photography package lets you hold onto every stage, just as it was, in a way that feels natural, real, and true to your baby’s personality. Let’s capture it all, together.

Contact Me Here and know that I only take on a limited number of First Year families each season so I can give you my full attention.
