Welcoming a new baby into the world is an incredibly special moment. One filled with love, excitement, and emotions you’ll never want to forget. A Fresh 48 session is a beautiful way to capture those early hours of your baby’s life, preserving the raw, unfiltered moments that pass by in the blink of an eye. But what exactly is a Fresh 48 session, and why should you consider booking one? I’m here to tell you.

A Fresh 48 session is a lifestyle newborn photography session that takes place within the first 24-48 hours after birth, typically in the hospital, birthing center, or at home (if you’ve had a home birth). Unlike a posed newborn session, which is usually scheduled 1-2 weeks after birth in a studio, a Fresh 48 session focuses on the natural, unscripted moments as you and your family bond with your newborn.

Think of it as a documentary style session capturing all the tiny details. The first yawns, stretches, and tiny fingers grasping yours. Snuggles with mom and dad as they soak in their little one. Baby’s first feeding, diaper changes, and those adorable wrinkly toes. The pure joy, overwhelming love, and even the beautiful exhaustion.

It captures the first moments you’ll never get back. The first hours with your newborn are a whirlwind of emotions, and they go by so quickly. A Fresh 48 session allows you to freeze these moments in time, giving you tangible memories to look back on when the newborn haze fades.

Your baby will never be this tiny again. Their features change rapidly within the first week, and those brand-new details. The soft peach fuzz, tiny fingers curled into fists, and wrinkly newborn skin start to disappear. Fresh 48 photos ensure that these little details are remembered forever.

Unlike traditional newborn sessions, where babies are swaddled and posed in a studio, Fresh 48 sessions are completely natural. There’s no pressure to look perfect. These sessions focus on authentic connection and love, with minimal direction. You get to relax, cuddle your baby, and soak in the moment while I capture the magic.

Fresh 48 photos make for stunning birth announcements! Whether you share them with family and friends or print them for an album, they provide a genuine and heartfelt way to introduce your little one to the world.

A Fresh 48 session is more than just a photoshoot. It’s a way to bottle up the emotions, love, and wonder of your baby’s first hours in the world. These are the moments you’ll never want to forget, and I’d be honored to capture them for you.
