Top 13 Fresh48 Photos | The Austin Birth Photographer

Fresh48 photos are perfect for celebrating your birth and preserving memories while they’re fresh, while also getting excited about heading home to start a new journey. I call this a First Glimpse session because everything is still so new. You and your baby are experiencing not only your first glimpse of each other, but also your first embrace, your first feed and all your first impressions. The First Glimpse is a unique way of capturing all that and more. They are also a beautiful memento of older siblings’ excitement in meeting baby.  It’s slightly more documentary than an in-home newborn session and less intrusive than birth photography. Fresh48 photos are a popular choice for those who want to document some important first moments, but not the entire birth.

First Glimpse sessions are not limited to hospital birth. Among the 13 moments I’m sharing here is a short film of a family’s first few hours together after their beautiful home birth. I have also documented First Glimpse sessions inside of birth centers. No matter where you give birth, a fresh48 can be the perfect way to treasure your memories of it.
