As a NJ Fresh 48 photographer, there are few moments more special than those first few hours after a baby is born. The "Fresh 48" session captures these precious early hours, preserving the raw emotion, the newness of life, and the love that fills the room. Recently, I had the honor of capturing such a session for a dear friend and fellow photographer, Paige, at Morristown Medical Center.
A Fresh 48 session takes place within the first 48 hours of a baby’s life, typically in the hospital. It’s a unique opportunity to document the newborn’s first interactions with their parents and siblings, the tiny details like little toes and fingers, and the emotions that come with welcoming a new member into the family. Unlike traditional newborn photography, these sessions are more candid and natural, focusing on the genuine moments and the fresh experience of a baby’s arrival.
Knowing Paige, a talented photographer based in Northern New Jersey, added a special layer of connection to this session. Capturing moments for another photographer can feel a bit intimidating, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. Paige has a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the art of photography, which made this session even more meaningful.
When I arrived at Morristown Medical Center, the room was filled with a sense of calm and joy. Paige, her husband, and their newborn daughter were a picture of pure happiness. The natural light streaming through the windows provided a beautiful backdrop, perfect for capturing these intimate moments.
The Fresh 48 session was a blend of candid shots and gentle guidance. We captured Paige cradling her daughter, the soft kisses on her tiny forehead, and the way the baby grasped her father’s finger. Each moment was a testament to the profound bond between them. We also took some detail shots – the little hospital bracelet, the tiny feet, and the sweet yawns that only newborns can make.
One of my favorite images from the session is of Paige’s daughter swaddled and resting peacefully, with Paige looking at her with a mix of awe and love. These are the moments that make Fresh 48 sessions so special – they’re real, unscripted, and filled with emotion.
Fresh 48 sessions are more than just photographs; they’re a way to freeze time and remember the beginning of a new life. These sessions capture the first family moments, the first connections, and the love that surrounds a newborn. They’re a beautiful reminder of the joy and wonder that comes with a new addition to the family. Check out some more images from a fresh 48 session, here.
For my client, these photos will serve as a cherished keepsake of her daughter’s first hours in the world. For me, it was an honor to be a part of such an intimate and beautiful moment, capturing memories that will be treasured for a lifetime.
