The first 24 hours after your baby arrives are a blur — full of emotion, exhaustion, and quiet awe. That’s why Fresh 48 sessions are so special. They freeze time in one of the most life-changing moments you’ll ever experience.
A Real Session
When I arrived at WakeMed Raleigh, baby’s parents were still riding the high of meeting him. His tiny fingers were curled around his mama’s hand, and his dad was gently rocking the bassinet while trying to memorize every feature.
I quietly captured:
– First feedings and skin-to-skin snuggles
– Baby yawns and wrinkled toes
– Mom and Dad’s tearful smiles
– Hospital bracelets, name cards, and a proud older sibling peeking in
Why Fresh 48 Sessions Matter
These sessions aren’t about perfect lighting or posed shots. They’re about presence. The room where you gave birth. The gown you wore. The expressions you didn’t know anyone saw. They’re about truth — and about holding onto the beauty of your baby’s first day in the world.
What to Expect at Your Session
Fresh 48 sessions typically take place:
– Within 24–48 hours after birth
– In your hospital room, birthing center, or at home
– With minimal intrusion — I work quietly and gently
– Around feeding, rest, and visiting family
They usually last 30–45 minutes and are completely baby-led. No pressure. No expectations. Just presence.
