The first days of a newborn's life are a whirlwind of emotions, exhaustion, and pure, unfiltered love. As a professional newborn photographer, I've learned that these first 48 hours are incredibly precious - a fleeting moment that deserves to be professionally captured.
Why Fresh 48 Photography Matters
The early hours after birth are a blur for most parents. Between feeding, recovering from delivery, and adjusting to your new family member, time seems to stand still and race by simultaneously. As one of my recent clients, Ashle, beautifully shared:
"Having the fresh 48 session was something that I really wanted to remember just the pure bliss of Baby Landry's arrival!"

Beyond Standard Hospital Photography
While many hospitals offer newborn photography, these sessions often come with limitations:
- Inconvenient scheduling
- Potentially inexperienced photographers
- Limited personalization
Safety and Sensitivity: The Heart of Fresh 48 Sessions
Photographing newborns requires a delicate balance. It's not just about capturing adorable images - it's about ensuring the safety of the baby and being hypersensitive to the mother's physical and emotional state.
Pro Tips for Perfect Fresh 48 Photos
My client Ashle offers fantastic advice for expecting parents: "Bring extra clothes and props to the hospital. Baby Landry had his best Celtics gear and his favorite Star Wars blanket for his 'announcement' photo, but we also included a sentimental knit blanket for some family photos."
What to Bring:
- Personal meaningful props
- Multiple outfit options
- Sentimental blankets or items
- Comfortable clothing for parents
Reserving Your First Moments
A Fresh 48 session isn't just a photo shoot - it's a time capsule. These images capture the raw, unscripted moments of your baby's first days: tiny fingers, sleepy yawns, and the incredible love that fills the hospital room.
