Capturing Those First Hours| Fresh 48

There’s something so raw, emotional, and irreplaceable about the very first hours after a baby is born. Fresh 48 sessions are some of the most meaningful moments I get to capture—those early hours when everything is brand new, emotions are high, and love overflows in every glance, every touch, and every tiny detail.

Unlike a traditional newborn session, Fresh 48 photography happens in the hospital (or birth center) within the first two days of life. It’s not about perfect poses or props—it’s about connection, emotion, and documenting your story as it unfolds naturally. From the first time baby meets their siblings, to the way parents can’t stop staring at their new little miracle, these are the memories you’ll never want to forget.

During this session, I focused on the little details that will fade so quickly: hospital bracelets on tiny ankles, those wrinkled toes peeking out from a blanket, the newness in every yawn and stretch. I also love capturing parents’ expressions—sometimes it’s tears of joy, sometimes it’s laughter, but always, it’s love that fills the room.

The beauty of a Fresh 48 session is its honesty. It’s the story of your baby’s very first chapter—the quiet moments, the first snuggles, and the start of a brand-new journey together as a family.

If you’re expecting and want to remember those fleeting first hours forever, I recommend booking a Fresh 48 session in advance so I can be on call for your baby’s arrival. These sessions are timeless keepsakes—authentic, emotional, and filled with the details you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
