Fresh 48 Newborn Sessions: Capturing the First Glimpse of Forever

There’s something indescribably beautiful about the moments right after a baby is born. The room is filled with raw emotion, from the overwhelming love to the quiet awe of the new life you’ve just brought into the world. These are some of the most genuine, unscripted moments a family can experience, and I’m lucky enough to capture them through my Fresh 48 newborn sessions.

Why Fresh 48 Sessions Are So Special

As a photographer, Fresh 48 sessions are some of my absolute favorites to capture. They are documentary-style sessions, which means that rather than posing you or interrupting the natural flow of your day, I focus on documenting your raw, authentic moments. No staged smiles, no forced moments—just real, fleeting, and emotional moments that happen in the hours after your baby is born.

The energy in those first few hours is indescribable. There’s so much love, excitement, and joy filling the room after waiting months for your little one’s arrival. It’s a unique moment that can never be replicated. You’re adjusting to your new reality—becoming parents and learning to love your baby in ways you didn’t know were possible. It’s my job to preserve those emotions through the lens of my camera so that you can relive those moments forever.

Add a Fresh 48 Session to Your Newborn or Maternity Package

These sessions are the perfect addition to any newborn or maternity session I offer, and I’m excited to make them available at a discounted price when you add them on. Whether you’re having a hospital birth at RiverBend or McKenzie Willamette, a birth center delivery, or a peaceful home birth, I’ll be there to capture these raw, beautiful moments.

Since I only take a limited number of Fresh 48 sessions each month, it’s best to contact me early to reserve your spot. These sessions are on-call, which means I’m ready to be there within the first 48 hours after your baby’s arrival.

What to Expect from a Fresh 48 Session

Fresh 48 sessions are designed to be brief and unobtrusive. I’ll typically spend around 30 minutes in your room to capture those precious first moments with your baby, and then I’ll step out to give you space to bond with your newborn. The goal is to document the tenderness and joy in a way that doesn’t take away from your first hours together as a family.

To make the experience as simple as possible, I encourage you to wear comfortable, simple clothing in neutral tones. The hospital often provides a plain-colored onesie for your baby, which is perfect for these sessions. If you’re at home or in a birth center, dressing your baby in something simple, soft, and neutral will help keep the focus on the connection between you and your newborn.

As for you, I recommend something comfortable that makes you feel beautiful but won’t take away from the raw moments you’ll be experiencing. Hospital gowns work, but if you prefer, you can choose something that helps you feel at ease and confident in front of the camera.

Less is More

When it comes to Fresh 48 sessions, less is more. The simplicity of the clothing, the natural lighting in the hospital room or at home, and the candid interactions between you and your new baby are what truly make these photos special. The last thing you want to worry about is how things look—they are already perfect in their natural state.

Why You’ll Love These Photos

In the days, weeks, and months after your baby’s birth, it’s easy to forget the small details—the way their tiny fingers curl around yours, the softness of their skin, or the tender look of love in your eyes as you gaze at them for the first time. Fresh 48 sessions freeze those moments in time so you can revisit them whenever you want. You’ll have photos that capture the warmth and beauty of those first few hours, and they’ll always serve as a reminder of the purest form of love that exists.
