What is a Fresh 48 photography Session and why you should consider one | Cleveland Ohio Newborn Photographer

So what exactly is a fresh 48 session?? Fresh 48 is when a photographer visits you at the hospital within 48 hrs after birth. These type of photos are a documentary lifestyle series of photos. Are they the same as the “hospital photographer”? Absolutely not! These are taken by professional photographer within the Cleveland area and require pre-booking in advance. We all have heard of the “hospital photographers” and while they might serve a role, the quality is not going to give you the photos you’re looking for.

Here are a couple of reasons why I feel that booking a professional to come take these photos is so important. 

1. Professional and quality images.

   We all know that there is a big difference in the pictures you take with your phone, and the pictures you get from a professional photographer. While I always say the best camera is the one you have with you, having a professional photographer come in will make a huge difference. Hospitals are horribly lit, and can be very busy. Hiring a professional who knows how to use light that flatters, and professionally edit ensures you will have beautiful images to share or even display in your homes. 

2. Enjoying the blurry magical moment

   We can all agree from the moment you said I think it’s TIME! And you rushed out of the door to the hospital the entire process can feel like a whirlwind. Not to mention the next thing you know they are discharging you home. That magical moment of 2-3 days with your new little baby only happens once. It really is such a special moment in time. So hiring a professional to document that stage so you can look back so you can look back and remember those intimate moments with your baby.

Please keep in mind, a Fresh 48 will not take the place of birth photography, however it still captures those early moments during their first hours of life. I can tell you with 100% certainty that you will see changes in your baby even a few days after they are born. They will go through major growth spurts during that first week so this session will help you remember this stage of your baby’s new life and how tiny they were.

If Fresh 48 isn’t the right fit for your family, keep in mind I offer both in home and studio newborn sessions. If you have more questions regarding any time of newborn photography, please reach out.
