This fresh 48 session with a new family of 4 was such a precious reminder of the beauty of family.

If you’ve never heard of this type of session, it’s different than a typical newborn session because it takes place in the hospital within the first 48 hours of birth. The emotion is raw, often incorporating real family memories like meeting a sibling or grandparents for the first time.

I always encourage my Fresh 48 mamas to let it be simple.

No styled outfits or fancy hair & makeup.

No big production of posing or perfect golden hour timing.

They just gave birth, after all. Nobody needs that pressure.

We schedule whenever we can coordinate and let it unfold. I often shoot these fresh 48 sessions with much of a documentary approach, offering only occasional direction to press into ways of visually communicating their family connection.

Fresh 48 sessions are back and my heart (and baby fever) just might explode.

Enjoy this featured session of a Fresh 48 session with a family of 4 and sisters meeting for the first time.
