What is a Fresh 48 or Hospital Newborn Session?

A Fresh 48 photography session is a special type of photo shoot designed to capture the newness of a baby within the first 48 hours after their birth. This session typically takes place in the hospital, birthing center, or at the family's home, depending on where the birth occurs. Unlike traditional newborn photography that might involve posed shots with props and elaborate setups, Fresh 48 sessions focus on the natural and authentic moments of the baby’s first days.

Photographers aim to capture the raw and tender moments between the newborn and their family, including parents, siblings, and sometimes grandparents. The emphasis is on the baby's first yawns, tiny feet, fingers, first feedings, and the loving interactions with family members. These sessions are less about perfect poses and more about documenting the genuine, unfiltered beginnings of a newborn's life.

Fresh 48 photography is cherished by many families as it captures the beauty and emotional intensity of the first few days of a child's life, providing a timeless keepsake that families can look back on for years to come.
