Fresh48 Photography at Englewood Hospital, New Jersey
Englewood Hospital and Medical Center in Bergen County delivers around 3,000 babies a year, and families from Englewood, Tenafly, Fort Lee, Teaneck, Closter and across the George Washington Bridge in Manhattan choose it for their birth.
A Fresh48 session is a relaxed, documentary photo session in your postpartum room during your baby's first hours or days. If you're delivering at Englewood Hospital, here is what a Fresh48 session with YourCherish looks like.
What a Fresh48 Session at Englewood Hospital Looks Like
After your delivery, once you've been moved to your postpartum room and had time to settle, you let us know you're ready.
We arrive at Englewood Hospital, find you, and we begin.
There is no instruction. No setup. No request for you to perform or prepare anything. We move quietly through your room for 1.5 to 2.5 hours, documenting what is already happening: the way your baby looks in those first hours, the way you look at them, the first feeds, the first holds, the first quiet.
Your gallery arrives within 5 to 7 business days, with 10 to 30 fully edited images.
About Englewood Hospital
Englewood Hospital's Karen and Gary Singer Family Birth Place has eight labor and delivery rooms with private bathrooms, two cesarean operating rooms and hydrotherapy tubs. After delivery you move to the Merle and Fred Fish & Family Mother/Baby Unit, which has 21 private rooms and 3 semi-private rooms. The Gordon Family NICU has neonatologists on site, and U.S. News & World Report has rated the hospital High Performing for Maternity Care five years in a row.
Most families get a private postpartum room, which makes for a calm, unhurried Fresh48 session. If you are placed in a semi-private room, tell us — we have photographed beautifully in shared rooms many times.
Fresh48 After a C-Section at Englewood Hospital
We photograph Fresh48 sessions after cesarean births too. Once you're moved from recovery to your postpartum room and feel settled, you reach out to us. We arrive and photograph your first hours in the room at your pace.

What Families Delivering at Englewood Hospital Often Ask
Can a photographer visit the postpartum floor at Englewood Hospital? Englewood's published visitor policy allows one support person to stay with you around the clock on the Mother/Baby Unit, with additional guests during daytime hours. We plan your session inside those hours, confirm the current policy with you before your due date, and always follow staff guidance on the day.
How do I add the photographer as a visitor? Mention at admission that you have a photographer booked for a postpartum session. Your nurse can tell you the current process, and we can help you with what to say.
What if I'm in a semi-private room? We have made beautiful images in shared rooms. We know how to create intimate, private-feeling photographs in any space.
What if my baby arrives earlier than expected? From the moment you're booked, we're on call. When your baby arrives, you reach out when you're ready and we come.
What if I don't feel photogenic after delivery? Almost every client has this thought. The way you look right after having a baby is not something to apologize for. It is something to keep.
