The Timeframe of Fresh 48

From the moment your baby enters this world, your baby is meeting everyone and experiencing everything for the first time. These first 48 hours of life are precious and fleeting. You as a mom get to meet this child that you have patiently waited for, but your baby gets to meet you and all the others who are in their life.

Fresh 48 sessions are for those moms who want to preserve those first 48 hours of life.

What can this look like?

The classic Fresh 48 often includes:

• Photos in the birthing room – capturing snuggles, tiny details, and baby resting peacefully in the bassinet
• Sibling Introductions – those emotional, joyfully chaotic moments when older siblings meet the new baby
• First Feedings – documenting the quiet magic of your first feeding, whether by breast or bottle
• Skin-to-Skin – those intimate bonding moments in their purest form

But Fresh 48 is more than just the classics—it’s the beginning of your family’s next chapter. It can also include:

• Family First Moments – tender greetings and introductions with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other loved ones
• Mini Milestones – baby’s first bath, first outfit, first diaper change—those “firsts” you’ll never forget
• Welcoming Home – capturing the cozy, real-life magic of those first hours after baby arrives home

Planning Your Fresh 48

Some families prefer to reach out early, eager to plan every detail - from outfits to lighting - so they feel ready when the moment comes. Others prefer to make contact directly from the hospital room, swept up in the emotion of it all and wanting to capture what's unfolding right then and there.

There's no perfect way to approach it. Whether it's carefully coordinated or spontaneously captured, the goal is the same: to preserve this beautiful, brief window of firsts in an honest and meaningful way.
