Fresh 48 Photo Shoot
If you’re unfamiliar with the concept of what a Fresh 48 photo shoot is, let me enlighten you! It is when you hire a photographer to come take family photos after baby is born while you are still in the hospital.
They’re decidedly different than a traditional newborn photo shoot because everything has JUST happened.
Extremely true in our case- I think our photo shoot could have been called a “Fresh 2” because he was hardly that old when Meaghan got to the hospital to take our pictures.
I really, really wanted her there to get pictures of the girls meeting him for the first time and grabbing a few pictures of us getting to know him as well. And, as you will see, he was REALLY fresh, lol! Our hospital now practices delayed bath(which I love) so he was still completely untouched and BRAND new. Wrapped up only in his name swaddle and hat (c/o Pirates And Peonies) and just totally perfect.
I’m so grateful to have these precious memories captured and I hope you love looking through them just as much as I did!
My Mom texted me when they were on their way to the hospital that she’d gotten the girls ready in the outfits that I had instructed her, but that Abigail was also wearing the party hat she had made. A big part of me wanted to have my Mom tell her to take it off because I knew it would be in all of the pictures, but I also knew that she had made that hat specifically for Finn’s birthday and for MONTHS had been planning all of the ways we were going to celebrate Finn being born- plus it is just so very, very Abigail so I let goooo and now there is a hilarious paper purple hat in all of our family pictures for eternity.
And I love it.
So sweet! I love the idea of the fresh 48, especially when there are younger siblings! The girls faces are priceless in these!
Such great pictures! You look fantastic! Congrats!
I think her hat is just perfect!!! So thoughtful of her to make it to celebrate 🙂
Precious!! Love them!!
I love Abigail’s party hat! It’s so cute! And you look amazing in those Fresh 48 pictures!
These are so special! And I love Abigail’s hat she made for her brother, so incredibly sweet!
That is such a great concept. I love the hat. I also think Mabel might be a daddy’s girl. I always love the pics of her and Jim.
LOVE that these were done so soon after his arrival! And the purple hat is just so sweet & sentimental!
Those big sisters are so sweet! Abigail’s DIY birthday hat is my very favorite part. Such a perfect oldest sis. So glad you have these moments documented.
I noticed the hat and was commending you in my head before I read the ending. Well done, mama!
These pictures are beautiful!
That name hat and swaddle is adorable. Love all the pictures. The girls look so happy to meet him. I’d never heard of a Fresh 48 photo session until now.
