Make Your First Photos Simple, Stress-Free, and Beautiful
Your Fresh 48 session should feel calm, emotional, and effortless — not stressful or rushed. Packing a few intentional items will help your hospital photos feel clean, timeless, and cohesive.
Here’s your easy Finch & Mae–approved packing list.
What to Pack for Your Fresh 48 Photos
1. A Neutral Swaddle
Soft creams, whites, oat, or warm neutrals photograph best. Hospitals often provide colorful blankets, but neutral swaddles help keep the focus on your baby.
2. A Simple Onesie or Gown
Avoid patterns or bright colors. A plain white or cream onesie creates a soft, classic look that matches your newborn gallery.
3. A Knot Hat or Bonnet (Optional)
These add a sweet, timeless touch and are perfect for those tiny detail photos.
4. A Backup Swaddle or Blanket
Babies spit up — having a second option ensures you stay calm and prepared.
5. A Neutral Outfit for Mom
Choose:
• A soft robe
• A light sweater with leggings
• A neutral nursing tank
Stick with creams, taupe, beige, or soft tones that blend beautifully with baby.
6. Comfortable Clothes for Dad
Simple solids work best — white, gray, or tan.
7. Anything Meaningful
Some parents bring:
• A special handmade blanket
• Memorial items
• A letterboard with baby’s name
• A family heirloom
Only if it fits your style — minimal is always best for Finch & Mae.
What You Don’t Need to Bring
❌ Props
❌ Outfits with text
❌ Hospital clutter (I’ll help clear the space)
❌ Anything elaborate — Fresh 48 is about emotion, not styling
Make Your First Hours Unforgettable
Your Fresh 48 session will be full of soft light, tiny details, and raw emotion — everything you’ll want to remember years from now.
