The first days of a newborn’s life are filled with emotions that are hard to put into words. 
For parents, it’s a time of overwhelming joy, tenderness, and a whirlwind of new experiences. 
But with all the excitement and stress, those precious memories can easily fade, leaving only scattered fragments. 
That’s why a Fresh 48 session is so important. It’s more than just newborn photography; it’s about capturing the raw, emotional moments within the first 48 hours after birth, whether at the hospital or at home. These photos become a timeless keepsake, allowing you to relive those fleeting moments and cherish them for a lifetime.
