There’s something undeniably sacred about the first 48 hours with a newborn. Baby Araceli’s hospital session was full of quiet moments, deep love, and her family’s joyful awe as they took her in for the very first time.

A tender moment between sisters—the first time big sister sees her newborn sibling, captured at the hospital in those early hours.

Wrapped in a blush floral swaddle personalized just for her, Araceli rested peacefully in her hospital bassinet while her big sister peeked in with wide-eyed wonder. Tiny details like her wrinkled toes, hospital band, and curled-up posture—things that change in the blink of an eye—were all documented gently and intentionally.

Tiny toes, wrinkled skin, and hospital bands—these fleeting newborn details are part of what makes Fresh 48 sessions so meaningful.

Mom and Dad soaked in their baby girl with smiles, snuggles, and the kind of presence that only comes in those first few hours. This Fresh 48 was a beautiful reminder that not every photo has to be posed—sometimes the real story lives in the simple, in-between moments.

Fresh 48 sessions are offered complimentary with any Baby Club membership that includes a newborn session. These photos serve as the very first chapter of your baby's story—raw, honest, and filled with love.
