The first hours after your baby arrives are some of the most emotional, fleeting, and unforgettable moments of your life. As a Utah Fresh 48 photographer, I often hear parents say, “I wish I had more photos of those first days.” That’s why I love offering Fresh 48 sessions for families delivering at Utah Valley Hospital and other hospitals across Utah County.
Recently, I had the honor of documenting baby Isla’s Fresh 48 session in Provo, and it was the sweetest reminder of why these sessions are so important.
1. Babies Change So Quickly
In just a matter of days, your newborn will start to look different. That wrinkly skin, tiny hospital bracelet, and sleepy little yawns only last for such a short time. Fresh 48 photography captures all of those first details before they fade.
2. Real & Raw Moments in the Hospital
Unlike posed newborn sessions, a Fresh 48 focuses on your baby’s very first chapter. Isla’s session included photos of her in her hospital bassinet, snuggled in her swaddle, and being loved on by her parents. These images are simple, natural, and emotional — a true reflection of your baby’s first day.
3. Your Family’s First Memories Together
Whether it’s capturing dad’s first time holding the baby, mom’s joy after delivery, or siblings meeting their new little one, Fresh 48 photos freeze those priceless memories. During Isla’s session, I captured her parents beaming with pride as they held her close — the kind of moments you’ll want to relive forever.
4. Stress-Free & Unposed
The best part? You don’t have to prepare anything. I come to your hospital room at Utah Valley Hospital within 24–48 hours after birth, and all you have to do is love on your baby. No props, no posing — just your family as you are in those first beautiful hours.
5. A Once-in-a-Lifetime Keepsake
You can never go back to those first two days. Fresh 48 photography ensures you’ll always have tangible memories of the very beginning — photos you can treasure, print, and share with your child as they grow.
What is a Fresh 48 Session?
A Fresh 48 session is a newborn photo session that takes place in the hospital (usually within the first 24–48 hours after birth). Unlike a full newborn session at home or in a studio, these sessions are focused on real, raw, and tender moments: the hospital bassinet, dad’s first snuggles, mom’s joyful smiles, and the brand-newness of your baby.
For families who deliver at Utah Valley Hospital or other hospitals in Utah County, Fresh 48 sessions are a beautiful way to document your baby’s first chapter.

If you’re delivering at Utah Valley Hospital, American Fork Hospital, or anywhere in Utah County, I would love to capture your baby’s first hours. Fresh 48 sessions are scheduled around your due date, and once your baby arrives, I’ll be there within 24–48 hours to document their story.
