Fresh48 Photography & Videography

Fresh48 sessions are a magical way to capture the incredible first hours of a newborn’s life. These sessions are typically held within the first 48 hours after birth, either at the hospital, birthing center, or even at home. They focus on the raw, emotional, and intimate moments that occur as a family welcomes their newest member. Unlike posed newborn photography, Fresh48 sessions are more about documenting real-life interactions, emotions, and the beautiful chaos of those early hours. They are the perfect session to document sibling and grandparent meetings, too!

One of the main reasons Fresh48 sessions are so special is the authenticity they bring. The first two days after birth are filled with countless memorable moments: the first yawns, tiny fingers and toes, the initial bond with siblings, and the overwhelming love from parents. These sessions aim to preserve those fleeting moments that are often forgotten in the whirlwind of welcoming a newborn. Fresh48 photos are a wonderful way to look back and remember exactly how you felt when your baby was just hours old, capturing the joy and love in a natural and comfortable way.

Fresh48 sessions are designed to be stress-free and convenient. The photographer or videographer comes to you, before you head home from the hospital. This allows you to remain comfortable and relaxed, focusing on your new baby. There’s no need to worry about getting dressed up or posing; the aim is to capture the genuine emotions and natural interactions as they unfold.

We offer fresh48 sessions as one-hour photography, videography or combination sessions. A photography session will capture stunning still images that can be treasured in albums, sent out as an announcement, or framed in your home. A video session, on the other hand, will document the sounds, movements, and emotions of those first moments, allowing you to relive the experience in a more dynamic way. Opting for a combined photo and video session gives you the best of both worlds, creating a comprehensive and multi-dimensional keepsake of your baby’s early hours.
