What is a Fresh 48 Session?

Hey there, mamas! I’m excited to dive into the magical world of Fresh 48 photo sessions. If you’re not familiar with this term, don’t worry—I’ve got you covered!

So, you will soon welcome your precious bundle of joy into the world, and those first couple days will be a whirlwind of emotions, cuddles, and pure bliss. Those days become such a blur, and it helps to have something tangible to help bring your memories back. That’s where Fresh 48 sessions come in. These sessions are for those who want to capture those incredibly raw and beautiful moments within the first two days of your baby’s life, right there in the hospital or birth space, without capturing the entire labor and birth. (Although, if you are interested in that, I would love to chat!) 

As a family and newborn photographer here in Salt Lake City, Utah, I’ve had the absolute pleasure of witnessing the magic of Fresh 48 sessions firsthand. There’s something so incredibly special about documenting those fleeting moments—the way your newborn curls up in your arms, the wonder in the eyes of older siblings as they meet their new baby brother or sister for the first time, and the overwhelming love that fills the room.

But here’s the thing: Fresh 48 sessions aren’t just about capturing adorable newborn photos (although, let’s be real, those tiny fingers and toes are pretty irresistible!). They’re about freezing time and preserving the raw, unfiltered emotions of those first precious hours. These are unposed images, also capturing those first diaper changes, first feedings, and beautiful newborn details that change so quickly. It’s about creating a visual legacy that you and your family can treasure for generations to come.

So, whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first-time parent, I encourage you to consider adding a Fresh 48 session to your birth plan. Trust me, you won’t regret it. And if you’re in the Salt Lake City area, I’d be honored to help you capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments. Let’s create some magic together!
