Fresh48 Photography at White Plains Hospital, Westchester
White Plains Hospital delivered about 2,300 babies in 2024, and families from White Plains, Scarsdale, Harrison, Rye, Greenburgh, Mamaroneck, Larchmont and New Rochelle 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 White Plains Hospital, here is what a Fresh48 session with YourCherish looks like.
What a Fresh48 Session at White Plains 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 White Plains 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 White Plains Hospital
White Plains Hospital is a member of the Montefiore Health System. Labor and Delivery is on the sixth floor of the patient tower, with six large suites that each have a private bathroom and a family area, and after delivery you move to a private mother-baby room with an en-suite shower. The hospital has a Level III NICU, has been a Baby-Friendly hospital since 2021, and Newsweek named it a Best Maternity Hospital for 2026.
For a Fresh48 session that means a private, quiet room, and a baby who stays in the same building even if they need extra care. If your baby is in the NICU, tell us, and we will plan the session around the unit's visiting rules.
Fresh48 After a C-Section at White Plains 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 White Plains Hospital Often Ask
Can a photographer visit the postpartum floor at White Plains Hospital? White Plains Hospital's published policy lets your support persons visit around the clock, and visitor rules can change. We check the hospital's current visitor 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? White Plains Hospital's mother-baby rooms are private, so this is rarely a concern here. And if plans change, we have photographed beautifully in shared rooms at other hospitals many times.
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.
