First 48 Hours

Fresh 48 Sessions

Documenting your baby's earliest hours — right where the story begins.

The quiet moments in the hospital room. Tiny fingers wrapped around yours. The way your partner looks at your baby for the very first time. These are the memories that fade the fastest — and the ones we most wish we could hold onto.

“My favorite image of all is the one of Evan laying on my chest in the hospital — twenty-five years ago.”

Ana Brandt

The Session

What is a Fresh 48?

A Fresh 48 is a documentary-style session captured within the first 48 hours of your baby's arrival — right there in your hospital room or birthing suite. Before you head home. Before the world rushes in.

These are the moments you can't recreate: your baby's very first day earthside, the quiet in between visitors, older siblings meeting their brother or sister, the tiny hospital bracelet on an impossibly small ankle.

Unlike a traditional newborn session, which takes place a week or two after birth in a styled studio setting, a Fresh 48 is unposed and intimate. No wraps, no props, no staging — just your family, exactly as you are, in the setting where your story began.
