What you can prepare for your fresh 48 ?
For a Fresh 48 shoot, the key is to keep it simple and focus on capturing the real, natural moments of your baby’s first hours. However, there are a few things you can prepare to make the photos even more beautiful and personal. Here’s a list of items that can help you prepare for a Fresh 48 shoot with some extra style:
1. Beautiful Baby Wraps & Blankets
While Fresh 48 is all about authenticity and natural moments, a beautiful, soft wrap or blanket can add a nice touch to the photos. Look for one in neutral or pastel colors that complements your baby’s skin tone.
Organic cotton or knit wraps are soft and cozy for the baby and look beautiful in photos.
Simple, textured blankets in neutral tones like beige, gray, or soft pastels can add warmth and depth to the images without being too distracting.
Personalized items like a baby name blanket or heirloom wrap can add sentimental value to your photos.
2. Soft, Minimalist Outfits for Baby
Instead of overloading the baby with props, you can choose a simple outfit that’s timeless and cozy.
Onesies, knit rompers, or swaddle sets in soft, neutral colors are great for newborn sessions. Stick to organic fabrics to avoid harsh textures on your baby’s skin.
A small knit hat can also add a cute, classic touch to the photos if your baby isn’t too hot in it.
3. Tiny Accessories for Baby (Optional)
If you want to add something special but not over-the-top, you can choose a few simple accessories like:
Baby’s first bracelet or hospital band: These can add a sentimental touch to your photos without detracting from the raw, natural feel.
A tiny headband or bow (for girls) or a knitted bonnet: Keep it simple and comfortable for your baby.
Soft booties: These can look adorable when your baby is wrapped in a blanket or lying on a cozy surface.
4. Pack for Convenience
While you’re likely already packed for the hospital, here are a few additional items to keep in mind for the shoot:
A clean swaddle or extra blanket: In case your baby needs a change or a little extra warmth during the shoot.
Diapers and wipes: For quick changes, though I'll try to capture your baby without interruptions.
A spare change of clothes for you or your partner if you get anything on your clothes during the shoot.
